I was surprised to discover I liked whisky neat. I'm not sure why I thought I disliked it. And reading the wikipedia entry is confusing the hell out of me at the same time as clarifying my spelling/nomenclature issues. I'm sure I couldn't tell Scotch from whisky at large. Also, Opera doesn't like my spelling of it, but it can bite me. ::adds to dictionary::

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I like Scotch tape.
My food snobberies are tea and Italian food.
We have a wee bottle of absinthe at home that I was given as a stocking stuffer. But I keep defering the drinking of it as I am convinced I'll flub the preparations.
Our found kitty, is not chipped. and one of the vet assistant was also planning on taking him in - she would have fostered him. And she agrees with me - very lost or abandoned. Not anymore.
My food snobberies are rum (but that's jingoistic--I let it play out in a very small arena), Jamaican food (naturally, also jingoistic), tropical fruit (uh, I may have a bit of a thing going), tea (but I don't let it affect my day-to-day), and one day I want to achieve proper sushi snobbery.
The rest is just me knowing what I like and not caring what anyone else thinks.

I bet you could. A friend of ours hangs out with her boyfriend at Jon's bar. He drinks Jameson. I like Jameson just fine, but when you're expecting a sip of scotch, mouth, face and brain scream "WRONG!"
Looks like Matt will be starting a new job soon. He gets to talk to his boss soon.
Would a high-end Irish whisky really taste that different from Scotch? I ask in all ignorance. I have really enjoyed Oban, but my assumption has been that my palate is pretty unschooled.

Hurrah!
