    Only one... After that we got into the feast!! Real good BBQ!! Not something I would like to mix with scotch.. I think the BBQ would drown out the flavors I wish to savor in the scotch..

    First kilts, then single malt. Yeah that's about right.

    Glenlivet is very nice, but if you want really hard-core whisky, try Ardbeg or Laphroaig....your tastebuds will cry out with delight!

    You need to try try putting a bit of Scotch in the barbeque sauce. Not the good stuff of course, but an inexpensive one. Good eating!

    Another really nice whisky is Lagavulin - probably my favourite just in front of Laphroaig which is strange as the distilleries are about 1/2 mile apart. Another nice whisky is Highland Park from Orkney.

    A Wee Dram

    I used to be very partial to a wee dram in my younger days - single malts at high days and holidays but otherwise blends. Glenlivet was one of my favourites. I stopped drinking whisky due to liver inflammation ten years ago but still drank wine for about seven or eight years after that. Now I don't drink alcohol. Enjoy - in moderation it will do you no harm, and will give you a nice glow, but Scotch Whisky is nice stuff and it's all too easy to gradually make that wee dram bigger and bigger and then suffer for it in later years.

    A Wee Dram

    Had a day out on the 'plane to Islay last summer and here is a picture I took of Bowmore distillery. There are several distilleries on the island. Islay malts are smokier in flavour because of the peat content in the soil through which the water has flowed on its way to the distillery and because of this some people find Islay malts laxative.

    We are working on some McClelland "Highland" at my house. I have a bottle of Glenlivet 12 in reserve that was a gift from one of my employees who is also a single malt fan, he felt I needed to try it. The Glenlivet is good and smooth, definitely one of the best I have tried.

    Still have some of the Dalmore in reserve as well, I'll have to to invest in some thing different this weekend, I've got to get my stock built up. I haven't decided what it wil be yet, I am open to suggestions.
