A Toast to the Kilt - Monday at 7:00 PM

**English Bloke** · 31st July 11, 03:52 AM

Do both Jock. 19:00 and 23:59

**OC Richard** · 31st July 11, 04:18 AM

I haven't had any alcohol in around a year now- blame my doctor.

But at 7pm Monday I'll raise my glass and have a tiny sip of Macallan 18 year, the only thing I have left. (I've given away the rest of my scotch collection.)

Well, I'd had in mind a "wave o' good Scotch whiskey splashing its way around the globe along with the settin' sun..." but the idea of doing both is, I confess, rather appealing too!

To be chinking with Jock you'd have to have your first shot at 14 o'clock Father. Your congregation will start talking about you...

I'm in, and will be raising a glass of Lagavulin.

I'm in!

Torn between Laphroaig (a.k.a. "Holy Water"), Highland Park, and The Singleton of Glendullan.

So many here seem to like Laphroaig that, as a matter of solidarity, I'll probably go with that.

Laphroaig= liquid dirt!!

Highland Park= delicious!

No contest! (As my grandpa used to say- if we all liked the same things, life would be boring!)

I like my whiskey stong, smokey, and peaty, so Laphroaig it is for me, and a quarter cask at that!

I bought a flask a year ago in Inverness, with a lovely Celtic Cross on the side. She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed questioned whether a cross should go on such a profane vessel (my words, not hers) and as Dale has pointed out, I explained that it was for Holy Water!

The "waves" subsided.

If I'm at home at 7pm local time, I'll be enjoying a glass of Glenkinchie 12 year old and wearing my SK Black Stewart.

Count me in! The malt of choice is "Uisge beatha gu leoir (Whisky Galore) - a Duncan Taylor 2003 bottling of a 15 year old Glen Garioch - a bit of peat, but still wonderful, and worthy of a celebration. My crystal is a small Mason jar.

OC Richard: You're a role model for us all. I will toast your self-restraint and wish you good health.
