Bite your tongue, sir!

Indeed - that’s why a wee splash of local well water is just the thing. lol

Damn. Now I’ll have to reach the top shelf and pull down the Talisker.

You’re evil men, the lot of you. I’m in good company.

Aye, you have the right of it, sir. We’ll all raise a glass to the living and to the departed. And to the road that lies ahead.

To resistance.
To restoration.
To retribution.

Bite your tongue, sir!

Yep, the briney taste you get from a bloody tongue is in the stuff too, under the "burning hospital" flavor profile. ;-)

Oh, I enjoy a glass every now and then - mostly in the winter, when the fireplace is crackling. For the most part, though, the "peat monsters" last me a good long time.

I was reminded of a scene from the movie, "Mr. Roberts," as I read the article.
