[neal]

[ChaosLee]

Tonight is celebration, thusly I'm breaking this out finally

[lurch70]

 

[ChaosLee]

I can.. but damnit, I'd have to buy more

 

[neal]

psht, what is this a celebration or a tea party?!

 

[ChaosLee]

Peat. It's what's for dinner

 

[neal]

had some scotch at a tasting about 6 weeks ago that supposedly contained 9000 year old peat (they throw a pinch from the ancient patch into every batch)

 

[ChaosLee]

Know the name? I think I might have to paint my face in blue celtic designs and run about in a kilt for that

 

[neal]

just found the 'menu' from that night, researching...

 

[ChaosLee]

Menu = booze, booze, booze, meat, booze, meat... booze.

 

[neal]

cant find any hard info online about the ancient peat but i think it was the Highland Park 8 yr of the Orkney Island region. the host/mc/expert of the tasting was some scottish dude in a kilt that had visited all the distilleries and had stories and histories about them all that dont show up in online reviews, but this was the peaty one and the location description of hills and springs sounds like the dude's story. im sure you'll understand everything learned that evening is a little blurry

 

[ChaosLee]

Damn skippy, but thanks for sharing. I swear I had a full bottle and not a third bottle a bit ago

 

[neal]

sometimes i think these liquor stores are running a scam with their magically dwindling bottles that they sell. bastards.

how's the Laphroaig 18?
just finished off a little Ardbeg 10 before I go to bed. mmm

 

[ChaosLee]

It's fucking great. More oomph than I expected, lots of peat. But silky.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

nice! would love to try some
