The Hard Stuff
Wednesday, 15 August 2007 by Dr Maytel
I never used to drink spirits straight.
But ever since Cambodia, I've been partial to single malt scotch - straight up - and calvados, straight too
I guess the old fogies in my anthropology department were partially right, field work makes you a man...grrrrrrrr...arghhhh!
So my pops just came back from a holiday to Scotland and bought me 2 bottles of the premium stuff, and we had an impromptu whiskey tasting the other night.
Verdicts:
The Talisker is very peaty....manly stuff.
The Glenlivet Nadurra is smooth with honey accents.
Scapa is in between Talisker and Nadurra.
It all went very well with last year's Xmas cake sent from Green Dean.
