busy week

Monday night was the big Scotch whisky tasting at the St. Andrew's Society. This one was a lot of work! The three of us used to do one meeting to prepare, plus a few e-mails. This time we did three meetings, many e-mails, and at least one more meeting would have been nice. We really had to do a lot of research to be able get across our points. It went well though. It might not have been our best, but we are happy with it.

Tuesday night was the CoPA meeting, our photographers' group. Kinda dull, but oh well.

Wednesday was Whisky Head. the theme was Irish whiskies. Educational, since I'm not too familiar with them.

Thursday and tonight I worked on my photograph for the show.

Tomorrow is Drammit. I need to write tasting notes.

Whisky groups... St. Andrews, we present two tastings a year. Whisky Head is put on by my friend Doug, five times a year. Drammit is a group of friends (we all bring bottles) which meets four times a year. November is when they occur in the same month, and this year they are all in the same week!

So I take it you're a whisky fan? I've only recently-ish started getting into it. Haven't tried that many yet --- some are quite pricy and I'm a bit hesitant to spend that much on something I may not enjoy too much? Still figuring out my preferences!

You could say that. :-) Others would say I'm obsessed.

Single malt Scotch whisky, mainly. Not as big a fan of bourbon, Irish whisky or others.

The best way to find your preferences is to find a bar that has lots to choose from. Not sure if there are many of those where you live. And I know your liquor stores aren't the best.
