Life mostly sucks right now, but...

Okay, riverheart posted about getting laid off today (and if any of y'all have any job leads for either of us, all I can say is don't be shy about speaking up). And life mostly sucks, as I just said.

But y'know, when the Macallan 12-year-old is the weakest of the three single malts you've had so far tonight, life ain't all that bad.

So how did you get hold of good Scotch, and what else did you have?

Personally, I did not like the Macallan 12 I had once upon a time; way too smoky for my taste. Now, the Dalwhinnie 15, that was some damn good scotch. Very smooth, and a bit peaty.

but that's just me. De gustibus non est disputandum. :)

I used to live in England (1988-91, when I worked for IBM and wangled an assignment to Old Blighty), and this is the leavings of what I collected there.

We had a Glenfarclas 21 year old, and a bottle I picked up in Harrod's called "As We Get It", pretty much cask strength from a tiny tiny distillery.

I prefer the Macca 18 over the 12, actually; it's a bit smoother and woodier. I used to get liters in the duty-free when making business trips back to the YewEssHay. But I've been known to sip a Lagavulin 16 from time to time as well, when I'm in the mood for some extra peatiness.

Hey, got an extra 1900 UKP sitting around? Macallan's selling vintage vintages (so to speak), and have a few bottles left of the 1951 distillation, bottled in 2002. Only 348 "bottle equivalents" will be sold, ever.

Or if you've got some serious whip-out (i.e., Bill Gates's pocket change), you can get one of 40 bottles of the 1926 (bottled in 1986, 60 years old) for UKP 20,000— but only when bought as part of a full collection of all 37 vintage Macca's presently available.

Any takers?

Anyone?

Bueller? Bueller?

Glad to see you have your priorities straight. :-)
