I say we reward those pigs for their discovery by turning them into delicious, crispy bacon! :)

...ah...the Isle of Islay. Produces the BEST single malt in the world! Why not a few artifacts

Good pig.
Well then, don’t eat him all at once.

Laphroaig’s my favorite Islay single malt. Peat filtered whisky is sublime.

Not an Islay, but an Isle, the Isle of Skye.
No in between with Islay's: you like or you don't.
For me they taste like iodine has been added to an otherwise excellent dram.

I like, but know it’s definitely not for everybody. Then again, my favorite drink in Japan was warm sour plum Haamanii Shochu, which my friends over there said they’d never seen an American like.

It's the peat...the malt is steeped to 45% moisture , dried, smoked over a wet bonfire of Islay peat (supplemented by mainland peat now and then). I admit, it's an acquired taste .....goes down like warm butterscotch. ;)

Another fine dram. I may have to pull a cork this evening.

For a time, ‘Vulin was hard to get stateside.......the Japanese *discovered* it ....and much of the stock was exported there.....for huge prices.
It’s what the Chinese are doing to the lobster market in Maine.

I was introduced to Scotch in Dunbar, Scotland, 1995.
On a cold day, wearing my SF 49 sweatshirt I walked into a pub, quite by accident it turned out to be the SF 49er South Scotland Fan Club HQ.
The back room was filled with 49er memorabilia going back to Kezar and John Brodie days.
I tried a dozen or more Scotches, settled on Oban, Talisker and Cordhu as my favorites. Never paid for a drink and stumbled back to the hotel in very high spirits indeed

To: Lurker
Indeed. I find one is enough. I've started using the chilled stones, gives it a nice chill and no dilution. Though I agree if ice is used, it is used sparingly.

Agree. Pigs are young swine and hogs are grown swine. Those aren’t cute little piglets. They do have some junk in the trunk. Psst, an ancient artifact a day keeps the butcher away.
