21:27 – Whisky tasting

Keeping up the appearance that planet grep is a collection of drunks, I accepted Elise's invitation to join a whisky tasting with a group of people able to compress their thoughts into 140 bytes or less.

First of all, I was impressed at the decompressed presence of all participants. They failed to depict even a single stereotype! Except maybe taking pictures of bottles, but I think that can be forgiven. ;-)

I was particularly impressed by the Caol Ila and perhaps even more by the Black Bush. The Sazerac Rye was also highly tasty, but I felt it was no match for the Templeton Rye Brooks introduced me to a while back.

In addition to whisky, the tasting session also included an amazing stilton and cheddar (not of the radioactive orange variety). I found these went very well with whisky.

In the end, I bought a bottle of Laphroaig 19 year old tastiness. Yum!

I don't think this will be my last whisky tasting session.
