Extreme Ardbeg and some new kids on the block

.... The Blasda first; billed as a 'lightly peated' Ardbeg, this is an extraordinarily pale example. Very light on...-riding response was "what's the point?"  If Ardbeg is too peaty then perhaps try one of a ... extreme version of the dry smoky ashiness that makes Ardbeg what it is, and this turns to a bonfire ...mainly buying this - those who want to drink Ardbeg at its best would be better advised to buy...

Tasting notes from Pints Pub in Denver

Films and Charlie Brooker

... and so on Friday this week we are having a haggis and whisky party. The Viking is mostly sorting it out. We will be serving at least three whiskys; Glenkinchie, Talisker, Laphroaig, Tesco value and possibly my Ardbeg if I'm feeling nice. Two types of haggis; vegan and 'real' and then traditional Cranachan. Yum yum yum! The Viking wants me to do the poetry reading, I'm trying to get out of it, but...

The Closing of the American Mind

Yeah, I'm an Ardbeg to the good and I'm channeling Bloom, who I haven't read since my sophomore year in college. Consider cultural relativism. Then consider widow burning, honor killings, virgin rape to pure one of AIDs, acid to the face of impure women,and any number of other Third World atrocities, and then consider these: Female circumcision in Kurdistan .

... not overbearing me, with it's sweetness. All in all, better than I had remembered it, a very good digestif.  I've lately been exploring the Islay's diving into my Caol Ila, Talisker, Laphroig, Ardbeg and Bowmore (a 22 year old bottle of Bowmore I recently opened is downright heavenly)  and moving back to the sweeter side of the spectrum is a nice reminder of the fact that Single Malt Scotch has ...

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

Macallan 81 - $54K/bottle: http://www.wral.com/news/strange/story/2146828/  . I would even be interested in trying that, not that I will ever get the chance. zenhack just got some Ardbeg 10 that he says is ok - surprisingly un-ashy, for an Islay. The scary thing is I know what he's talking about.

Oberschenkel vs. Ischias

... noch da)! Vielmehr hat der Arzt nun endlich einen Druckpunkt im Rücken gefunden, über den er per Daumen-Auflegen einen schönen Schmerz im Oberschenkel auslösen kann.
