| Me at the Royal McGregor in Edinborough. drinking scotch 🙂 |
The cooler mornings and nights and the semi dreary weather makes me miss Scotland. I really do believe I left part of my heart there. I tend to move into sippin’ whisky around this time of year. This picture of me is after my 3rd flight of whisky, I believe I was on the Island hopper and currently tasting the sweet slam of the isle of Skye in a whisky called Talisker. This is probably my favorite one out of all of them I tried in Scotland. Apparently I really dig the Peaty Punch and smokey flavour of the Isle of Sky Scotch…
So much so, fast forward about 6 months and back in June I was at my big continuing education seminar (as I didn’t learn enough in all those years of school) getting my CEUs for the state. I partook in a scotch tasting that went from The Highlands, The Lowlands, The Isle of Islay, and Campbeltown. And behold what was on the menu?? None other than Talisker… I was so excited! but, no one else liked it.. and I drank everyone at the table’s tastings because they all poured it into my glass… then they were having an auction and I usually never buy into this crap because if it wasn’t for bad luck, sometimes I’d have no luck at all.. but, There was a bottle of Talisker up there staring at me… calling my name even…. I was thinking all throughout the tasting.. and as I sipped I decided to slip money out of my purse and buy 40 dollars worth of tickets… I mean, It seemed logical… 79.99 at the liquor store.. plus probably 5 dollars in fuel to get to the city and then the aggravation of the peoples in the store… I figured 40 dollars would be a good investment.. and low and behold… they called my number… man I felt like I had just won a beauty pageant.. I walked up to the stage all slowly smiling and waving.. thanking everyone.. haha… So, It takes me a while to go through a bottle of scotch.. I usually drink Dalmore as my “table scotch”. The other night I wound up sitting by the fire and sipping on some talisker with whisky rocks in a yeti like cup.. nothing says redneck quite like drinking fine scotch out of a polar ice yeti knock off.. haah
