=========================
Hey Michael!
-> 
->  -> For a blend, you might not want to detect many of the nuances!
->  HN> well, a blend is comprised of any number of single malts, so 
->  HN> there should be some nuance's in there somewhere!(grin)
-> 
-> Most blends contain a large proportion of grain neutral spirit,
-> which although not supposed to add any flavor actually imparts
-> a character of its own, usually manifesting itself with what I
-> think of as a taste reminiscent of almond extract. The better
-> blends actually use a higher percentage of the good stuff,
-> sometimes enough to actually impart a distinctive flavor. As
-> you know, a blend made up exclusively of single malts is called
-> a "vatted malt" and tends to command a much higher price than
-> the regular blends. To complicate things, I was told by a
-> distillery representative that Bowmore Darkest, which I enjoy,
-> is a vatted malt made up exclusively of single malts all made
-> by Bowmore: why it's different from any other single malt
-> that is a blend from various casks from a single distillery
-> I don't know. Perhaps Bowmore has more than one facility?
-> 
Wouldn't surprise me, Not sure I've ever had Bowmore Darkest.

->  -> I dunno, maybe the 23 or 24. My schedule isn't set quite yet.
->  HN> Well, keep us posted, the welcome mat is out!
-> 
-> Thanks!
-> 
->  -> I'm sure I could take the 194 bus
->  HN> 574 bus from airport to tacoma, 594 bus from tacoma to Seattle.
-> 
-> The problem would be the suitcase; I recall other ballparks having
-> a 16x16x8 rule and no facility for checking larger stuff. This would
-> solve itself nicely via your route if someone could pick me up at
-> the Tacoma Dome or at the park & ride. If I had only an overnight
-> case or less I could take the the 194 from the airport to Seattle
-> and just endure the bag check.
->
give me some idea of your itinerary and we'll see what
we can work out. Not sure what bus you could take from 
the airport to the ballpark...will check on that. There are 
always storage lockers at the airport. If you arrived on 
game day, too late for me to pick you up at the airport, 
I could drive to the ballpark and we could swing by the
airport on the way home. 
chat with you soon!
