Mmmm.

Speaking of spirits... I broke down last eve while at my favorite tavern and ordered a shot of Johnny Walker Blue... well worth the $23.

...and speaking of scotch, I made an interesting discovery recently. I usually drink Glenlivet and other Speysides, but occasionally have a more peaty one like Oban. I only drink the classic blend's (Dewar's, Cutty, etc.) when out and nothing good is available, but just for the heck of it, I picked up a bottle of Grant's lest week because it was on sale.

Incredible! Tastes like Oban Lite, with a bit of peatiness yet smooth. This morning I bought a 1.75 litre bottle for $21.00...excellent.

I treat myself to one fifth of Johnny Walker Whistle to be imbibed over the year. And yes, it is worth it.

I'm partial to Blue Myself. Cheapest at duty free Canada although I hear that it's much less expensive in Fla. due to much lower taxes. Real good & well worth it.
