Friday's Question of the week: - Page 4

A good blend is indeed a good Scotch. I like Pinch, for example. However, I know that Oban is part of the blend in Pinch. So I drink Oban to pick out its qualities. Then I have a "more informed" appreciation of Pinch. And back and forth until I fall face first into ZP's cleavage, which I won't, unfortunately, remember.

ah, that would be the *flaw* of scotch.

lolofaction should be applied automatically to all of Taylor's posts, whether it be passive, active, explicit or tacit.

"Tacit" is a given. :dry humor:

He's right, a good blend has a very subtle nose, and brings with it the constituent 'flavours' of each of the individual whiskies. And then melds it all together under the expert palate of the distiller.
The issue here is whether to add water to the whisky in the glass.

My contention is that the distillery already adds water to the bottle; after all the raw whisky from the barrel would likely kill you with its high alcohol content.

To the drinker (i.e. me), the distiller puts the required amount of water (not tap water, often the same water that is used in the brewing of the raw), hence he uses his vast knowledge to 'finish' the final bottled version - so why should the drinker add more!!

Indeed...

I'll go along with a suggestion, have a smaller glass of whisky to hand, add a little water to test it's nose. BUT only drink the unadulterated whisky from your glass. IF water is required, then drink it seperate from the whisky - as a palate cleanser.
Whisky sip, water sip, whisky sip, water sip, whisky slup, water slip, whisky slurp, water slosh -- where was I ......

Perhaps you should dilute it a bit.

Taylor514ce · 06-03-2008, 05:07 PM

When it comes to my own humor, I'm sufficiently deluded already. That is what you meant, I assume that "dilute" is a misspelling.

No, that's my field of excellence and I claim delusional supremacy in this lounge. Your humor (and other talents) are desparately needed elsewhere, PH. Particularly with today's poetry effort. I fear we've hit a dead end and need a spark of brilliance the size of a planet to get it going again. So run along now.

Sorry to scotch the "discussion", but here's your tall Zany Carter Deluxes. Now shut up and enjoy (Do you like the coloured twirly straws I've put in them? $5 a dozen down at the $2 Store....wait....those bastards ripped me off!).

Cheers!

This week's question is a day early, because I may not be in tomorrow, much:

If I kill my son and bury him in the compost heap, do I still have to pay for all the wedding crap that we have scheduled for Saturday?

Happy day on ya, pshrynk! Good for you and your son. Oh, and the answer is yes. Death row is not an escape. But your compost might be particularly good this year.

pshrynk · 06-05-2008, 02:51 PM

Better flowers....life in prison....still gotta pay for it...

All sorts of dilemmas here.
