WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
Great pictures, Geo. Talisker 18 YO is one of my favorite whiskies ever. By seeing the distillery I knew you're at Skye, I didn't read properly.

@Geo:
wasn't it World Whisky of the Year at some not too distant point?
not sure, at least Jim Murray has a strong favor towards Ardbeg
But Talisker, Highland Park and Macallan are without a doubt the distilleries, most critics and manufacturers agree to be the "best". Are you much into whisky? If yes, let me see your collection, please! -
Love those Scotland pics Geo! I'm going to spend a week and a half over there in june, just going to drive around and admire the views. If you have any pointers (or any of you have) feel free to pm me, it's my first visit.
And Max, love the picture with the flowers! I love spring! I believe that flower is called Wood Anemone in english, here in Finland it's the tradition to pick those for your mom on mother's day.

i've tried a few but can happily live without it . . .

^what kind of scot are you? I hope you got a kilt at least! I can't imagine living happily without whisky
You should give the Balvenie 12 YO Double Wood a try, it is the perfect beginner's whisky.

Good french red wine (Gigondas, St Emilion, Cotes Roti…) is apparently almost medicinal i've been told (by numerous strawberry nosed french peasants no less, it MUST be true). Get that alcohol suckling belgian to send you a case or 2
Tug at his heart strings and i'm sure he'll fold

Tug at his heart strings and i'm sure he'll fold well that's a good start . . . i used to collect german and austrian riesling and hungarian tokaji

As you may have noticed - I love being at the shore at smell the sea. That's a main reason, why I love especially coastal and Islay Malts. They taste like scottish sea captured in a bottle. Maybe those who can breathe that air everyday, don't need this.

@Geo:
oh - don't worry Bertoni I've had quite a few bottles of Côte-Rôtie . . . 2 Domaines - René Rostaing and Jean-Michel Gerin are amongst the best I've tried
Pleased to hear you've had the pleasure
I was lucky enough to taste an incredible Gigondas the other day. Friend of my wife's cousin…will have to get the name for you...among the very best wines i've had. VERY strong though...Barrolo strength. My teeth were a lovely shade of black by the end of the meal (always a good sign)
Hope you're feeling ok anyway my friend. Enjoy the silence.
