Today must have been a vigil of Tuesday. Never mind! I have been recently supplied with the following: Laphroaig (10-y-o), item, one piece of extremely grown-up Stilton, item, one packet of oatcakes, item, one box of Lapsang Souchong, item, one pack of almost Scotch broth mix (wasn’t clear enough in phone conversation with progenitor as he stood in a Central Belt Tesco’s dried peas aisle). Oh yes. Now just need to make arrangements with J. from this site, and we can have a loooong and pleasantly glowing chat about anything and everything. She talks more than I do, a rare distinction 🙂 Oh the joy of looooooooong conversations! Today I missed a lecture, and that the only one of any relevance at all to my (still existentially expressing finite potency) thesis, because Aged Ancestor and I began chatting over our post-prandial tea about the possible reason for the late veridity of the poplar across the road and ended up on the identity of the Evangelists. I have these comprehensive exams in church history and fundamental theology two or three or four times a week; fortunately the questions are usually recycled, but it makes it all the more obvious that the answers sought are not those the questions require.
This is turning into a diary blog, innit? must pull socks up.

the liquid thing is very peaty to taste. Not as smooth as the Speysides. Not to be judged on the first sip. aquired taste. Infact buy another bottle and you might start to like it by the time you get to that. :-))

I chose the Laphroaig, it is one of my favourite whiskies.

well thats fine. Loads do. I prefer the others to the island malts. A Glenmorangie or a Glenlivet, Mccallum etc. The island malts are all very peatie. Which is fine but Laphroaig is extremely strong taste. You can almost taste the peat!! 😮 But hey..each to his or her own. 😉 Enjoy. 🙂
