Beer?

[Noodley]

Someone was informing me last night, about the difference in single malts, according to whether they are from the East part of Scotland or the West? Something to do, apparently, with the peatiness of the water, or is it more to do with how much you have consumed?

I cannot stand whisky. But I know someone who does. As in it's his job. He reckons that it's mostly hockum built up by some stupid twats in pubs...yes, some people may know a bit, but they make out to know more than they do.

Stupid person in a pub, making out to know more than they do, yes that sums up the person in question. She went on to tell me all about pubs in Ireland, then admitted she had never been to Ireland.

The same person argued with me about what language is spoken in Iceland, when she had not been there, and I had just spent two (very excellent weeks) there. That's Iceland next to Greenland, not the one next to W H Smiths.

Much as I would like to continue this conversation until the very small hours, I think it is time for me to not be here. Good night

 

[Chuffy]

'ere Sticky, gis' a snog.! I reckon that'll get me scootered quicker than swigging from the bottle!

 

[sticky sherbert]

[Chuffy]

Oooh, sorry Spikes, a snog for you too. On account of it being your burpday and all.

It's true what your friend told you about single malts!
The peaty ones come from the highlands and Islands, The most peaty are Talisker from skye, and most of the Islay whiskeys Bunnahabhain, Laphroiag and the most peaty of all Ardbeg. O h and also Lagavulin.

Some of the other Islay whiskeys have some peat in but not such a dissernable amount. Bruichladdich I cant drink with out water in it? Caol ila is lively on its own and some of the ones from the Bowmore distillery and there have been many! are just delicious, espacially the sherry casked one!

But if your not really in to whiskey and want to give it a try then go for An Islay blend called black bottle! It is nectar and can almost beconsumed at breakfast.

O ' the other little known malt whiskey fact is that alot of them use a Bourbon cask for the maturing process 10, 12 18 years etc.

As previously mentioned sometimes a sherry cask is used also. thgis gives alovely sweet flavour.

Oh how I miss a decent ale. Super Bock stout is about the best I can find in Portugal, mind you, at 50 cents a pop I don't mind buying a round if anyone's interested?

 

[longers]

Hey Brock!

How goes it?

I'll have a SuperBock please. Do we get a small plate of beans with that?

It goes well thanks Longers. Just spending a day relaxing on the plush white leather look armchairs in the day room of a deserted campsite and making use of their wi-fi. Great weather down here

No beans but if you'd asked sooner you could've had a bit of the chickpea and spinach turkey piri piri curry Kez cooked up on the trangia for lunch.

 

[dan_bo]

Asahi anyone?
