Sampling the Scotches
Sep. 17th, 2006 10:01 amThe 2nd Annual Scotch Tasting party that we held last night was a resounding success. Thanks need to go to the lovely and talented ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarahcarotte who prepare a delicious spread to accompany the multitude and variety of Scotch we had. Also, a heartfelt shoutout to knotty_mark who held me move some extraneous stuff into the basement.
After everyone showed up (there were about 20+ people in the end), our Scotch table consisted of the following Scotches and some not so Scotch:
Jameson 12 year
Scapa
Glenmorangie
Highlander Park 25 year
Laphroaig
Lagavulin 16 year
Ballantyne
Sortilege (Canadian whisky mixed with Maple Syrup)
Jura Superstition
Talisker
At the end of the evening, we had a vote and the Scapa won as the best Scotch of the evening. My thanks to the Gryphon Cafe for the pound of shortbread they donated for the event which we award to Jim and Laurie for their Scotch contribution (the Scapa).
There were also a few bottles of fine red wine and Porto floating about as well. Mr. Wheeler arrived with some cigars which were consumed on the balcony (I didn't participtate). Also, Ms. DragonMoone showed up with my newly adjusted kilt, which I wore immediately and wowed the party-goers.
Everyone was dressed-up in full regalia, especially the Franco bros. who looked exceptionally snazzy. I was pleased to see my friendsbastdanica and moniqueg, as well as Jim, Laurie, and Dave who trekked in from the Ottawa area to join us. My apologies to photogeek_mtl because some of their party-goers stayed later at my party before going to his. We really need to stop competing like this...
All in all, it was a tremendous success. I'm defnitely making this an annual event. I really needed this evening after the horrible week I had just gone through.
