So, I was poking around locally and found....

Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Heavily Peated Islay Barley at a store near here. Guess where I'm headed tomorrow evening, after the sessions are over.

How many guesses do I get?

As many as you need, which should be... One!

GIANT store with all sorts of wonderful things in it, both wine and spirits. And good prices, for this state. They had both the Scottish Barley and the Islay Barley, so I went with the Islay, since I hadn't had it. (Not sold in BC.) I'm looking forward to getting home and tasting!

Last tea of the day.

Starbucks Pikes Peak. A 'medium' blend. Not remarkable, but better than the usual run of event coffee. And a glass of definitely NOT fresh squeezed OJ.

I'm not much of a coffee drinker unless I'm on the road and I don't usually stray from simply ordering "coffee" when I'm at Starbucks, but Starbucks coffee always strikes me as tasting a little bit burnt.

Then you'd probably not be a fan of Peet's Major Dickason's Blend, given that it's a dark roast, full-bodied blend. And not burnt, but definitely dark. Most of Starbuck's blends are on the darkish side, though their Pike's Peak blend is what they call a Medium blend. To me, it feels a bit bland.

Currently drinking the last little bit of my Talking Rain.

Port Charlotte with Islay Barley ...

[I do like the Scottish barley variety too]

Well, now that I finally have the Islay Barley, I'll have to do a side by side comparison. But my first taste last night was definitely delicious.

Tonight, just faux San Pellegrino.
