I never really liked scotch. Bourbon yes. Scotch, kinda makes me gag, I think it’s the wet cardboard aftertaste... but hey, weirdly enough, sometimes coffee as it is brewing reminds if either cat litter or canned tuna.
Wouldn’t it be great if they found an intact 200 year old bottle of whiskey and gave it to me? I’d invite my favorite Freeper friends of a taste.
It should be a World Heritage Site and religious destination.
You don't need archaeologists to discover how proper whisky was made 200 year age, all you need is a telephone, the phone number of one of the (at least) five Highland distillers that have been in continuous operation for more than 200 years, and the ability to comprehend the Highland brogue.
I tried Laphroaig’s single malt once. I’d heard of its “peaty” flavor. That’s for sure! It tasted like what would pour out of one’s rubber boots after wading through a peat bog and getting so deep the water came in o’er the top...
My dad loved Chivas Regal. Being in Purchasing back in the day when gifts (aka bribes) were allowed, one of his suppliers gave him a case of the stuff. Being a normal kid, I snuck a taste when my parents were out. Never been near a bottle of Scotch again - just nasty. I never did acquire a taste for any hard liquor, except for Ron del Barrelito rum from Puerto Rico (always brought some back from business trips there). Stuck with Iron City beer other than that.
