I would happily collect single malt scotches if my partner could drink alcohol or if I weren't averse to drinking alone.

Suleiman: I trust you've seen Planetary/Batman? Nice appearences by the Bronze Age as well as the Dark Knight incarnations of Batman. The Golden Age incarnation is nicely drawn but sadly misinterpreted based on scurrilous fan rumors.

so we all have a "geeky" thing we do as a hobby, or a collection of something (other than bills).

ME ? I collect vintage 1980's TRANSFORMER toys, and GO-BOTS (Machine-Robos for you Brits). Yep ! Autobots and Decepticons....



Good LORD but I thought I'd put Transformers and go-bots behind me! My kid was INTO them when they were hot, so of course I was one of the desparate mothers grabbing for the hard to get ones at xmas time (his bday is also Dec. 27!)

Having said that, I like fans, especially antique hand held fans.

Need to turn ya on to Single Malts :) smoooooooooooooooooooooooooth



Oh MAN, don't get me started!!!!!

My son was a typical over drinker of whatever was cheap. I recently turned him onto single malts and he has turned into a conservative (in consumption) monster (in his exploration of the various single malts).

Hey, he's learned the meaning of "less is more" and with alcohol that can't be a bad thing!

I'm partial to the MacCallan 18yr. Yeah, I know there are sooo many, but it's the one I tend to default back to.

I also collect glass & cast iron candle holders, fairies and shot glasses. My son used to "help" me collect rocks, of course this was his passion not mine, I just played along.

Hmm, is it safe to say that I don't stick with anything long enough to call it a hobbie?

One of the benefits of 'upgrading spirits' indeed. I drink maybe a few fingers a week.

MacCallan is good, their 25 year old isn't that much better than the 18 to justify price difference :) I'm n Islay guy.. the peatier the better... lagavulin, Laphroiag mmmm maybe awee nip before bed... :)

I'll bring a few to taste (The Balvenie,Lagavulin, Oban for sure) to taste as we down the martoonis :)

Best,
Joshua

How right you are regarding the 25 in comparison to the 18. I like the 18.

I haven't tried Islay, but I have to be in the mood for a lots of peat. I like the Balvenie's (they have a triple wood, don't they?) The other two I haven't tried but am looking forward to!

As for the tastes, I'd love it, but I'm not sure my stomach would tolerate the scotch and the martoonis. I'm SUCH a light weight drinker. ONE of sherri's martoonis finishes me. However, if you bring scotch to taste I will elect that over the martoonis if my stomach is cooperating that day.

YUMMY.

I collect antiques, Americana, advertising, fairies, pigs, Belleek and anything else Irish, tins, old kitchen stuff, candles and I have a thing for old wood boxes and trunks.

Guess I am building my nest.....lol.

Laphrioaig definitely has one of those unique tastes... one that I happen love.. mmm that peat combinded with the medicinal, iodine qualities some have compared to original Listerine. LOL

My favorite is the 15 year.. a bit smoother than the 10...with a longer finish. I only had the opportunity to try the 30 year once - and it was incrdibly full.. but way too expensive to justify. If I won the lottery though lol.

My favorite Islay is still the Lagavulin 16... nto quite the iodine content as lapghraig - though the distilleries are in fact neighbors. It's flavor to me is more rounded, with abit more fruitiness peaking around the peat smokiness.

Nice gift to the synogogue! A Mitzvah indeed :)

Best,
Joshua

MisSuz

Not sure about the Balvenie triple wood, though I enjoy their double wood tremendously. I hear they also have made a islay malt - though it is unavalable throgh PA's state iquor board. Very interesting for a speyside distillery, I can only imagine what it would be like. I usally buy the single cask batches - 15 years. Wow! Yummmmm.

Have you tried any of the Glenmorangie wood cask bottlings? The Madiera is perhaps the most unique, but I tend towards the Sherry often when I'm p for something sweet. The oak is my least favorite of the three.

and I'll gladly take your martoonis while you focus on the scotch tastings lol I never seem to be able to make a martini (vodka or gin) that I could atually enjoy.. but I do love drinking other's concotions.. looking forward to it for a myriad of reasons :)

best
Joshua

Not to sound ignorant or anything here but I am. What is a finger? Is that like a shot?
I've never drank alcohol in my life. It just tastes crappy to me. Now, if there was some grand drink where you could not taste it, I would.
I do however microbrew beer for Doug though. It's real hard when he doesn't want to be brutally honest with me when I make some. Not knowing how it should taste I have to rely on him. I absolutely love to experiment. Adding this and subtracting that. Hehe.
