Promos for the Presidential Election TV coverage and a number of other either tiring or tiresome things have worn me out
What better way to close my week down ...

Lovely choice. I’m an Islay lover as well. Only recently have I ventured into the other realms, with surprising joy; but Islay single malts drew me to scotch.

I sometimes regret not having developed a taste for fine whisky... for it seems to bring much pleasure to many people. I blame this on the fact that I was attacked, at a very young age, by a couple of bottles of very un-fine whisky. I am, however, developing a late-in-life taste for tequila.
I feel compelled to point out that seeing our friend, that fine gentleman Jack Daniel, extolling the virtues of an Islay single malt scotch, causes a wry, and only slightly ironic, smile

How does one pronounce it? Bunna-Haven?

The irony, Bish, is not lost on me. Any taste for that particular bourbon, however, is long gone:)

That'll get you served!
I have a happy memory of You, himself and Anne in our sitting room on your visit to Portgordon dispatching a bottle of this ...

As with you, Todd, I needed the peat--and the smoke. I can appreciate scotch without those qualities now, but it took me a minute, as you'd say, Given my druthers, though, it's peaty smoke for me. If a person across the room doesn't ask "Good Lord, what is in that glass?" then I have failed.
