     Kommentar till en text av Nancy Backus
Ärende: RE: How was your Christmas?
===================================
Hi Nancy!
-> 
->  ->  -> My youngest brother brought those of us who enjoy a fine single 
malt
->  ->  -> a Christmas present to share, a bottle of 17-y-old Rum Cask 
Balvenie. 
->  -> 
->  ->  hn> I have a friend in England who has some and he paid
->  ->  hn> 65pounds for it, that's about $130 or so U$. Not the 
->  ->  hn> priciest, but not a bargain hunters's delight either! 
->  -> 
->  -> I rather gathered it might be in that range... :)
->  ->
->  hn> It's sort of the dividing line between the 
->  hn> good stuff, and the "really" good stuff (grin).
-> 
-> Good to know.
-> 
I have found some quite nice single malts
in the lower price ranges, but it's hit or miss
whether they will strike your fancy or not.
Of course that's the same risk you take when
you pay more I suppose! (grin)

->  hn> Single malt prices have come down in the last
->  hn> 5 years or so, my glenmorangie used to be 
->  hn> over $100 and now it's down around $60 or so.
-> 
-> As I don't buy very often, it seemed to me that prices were still going
-> up.  Of course, the price I "remember" paying for mine is probably the
-> one more like 10-20 years ago... (G)
->
(grin) I buy a bottle a little more often
than that (grin)!
 
->  hn> Here's an experiment for you; next time
->  hn> you plan to have some good single malt, also
->  hn> plan to have a really good quality dark chocolate
->  hn> to enjoy with it. The chocolate and the scotch
->  hn> really seem to enhance each other. I try to look
->  hn> for chocolate that is 65% or higher.
-> 
-> I'll keep that in mind for the next time.  :)
->
You'll be amazed!
  
->  ->  hn> he must have loved you all very much to share that much
->  ->  hn> single malt with everyone! I generally only offer my singles
->  ->  hn> to those who express an interest in single malts. Everyone
->  ->  hn> else gets offered a blend.
->  -> He got it specially, knowing that his other brother also greatly
->  -> appreciates the really good stuff... and that that is just about my only
->  -> drink.  The fourth person that was making inroads was the sister who 
was
->  -> hostessing the event.  :)  Those that came in and wanted to taste
->  -> probably wouldn't have even tried a blend, but the single malt intrigued
->  -> them enough for a taste from one of our glasses...  ;)
->  ->
->  hn> The first thing I tell folks is "it's still SCOTCH"!
->  hn> If they don't like scotch, they more than likely
->  hn> won't go crazy over the single malts.
-> 
-> Well, that was certainly made clear right along... some of the tasters
-> were the "just become legal in the last few years" crew, that have known
-> all along that we of the older generation were Scotch, especially single
-> malt, drinkers... so now they can be more than just curious and
-> sniffers.  Mind you this was all family...  (G)
->
(grin)
 
->  hn> Dale is a good example, he tried one of my single
->  hn> malts when we had the last great crab Jacuzzi, and 
->  hn> while I think he was intrigued by it, I think he'd
->  hn> have traded the single malt for just about any
->  hn> decent bourbon (which he does like). 
-> 
-> I brought a new bottle of Glenlivet 12 to the latest Picnic at Janis's,
-> particularly since Dale, watching the conversation here in the echo
-> beforehand about the single malts, said he'd be willing to taste it if
-> it showed up.  :)  Again, he seemed appreciative, but not converted. ;) 
-> He did, however, connect it to what he probably had had when in England
-> and visiting a certain older Scottish friend there.
->
I have not had any glenlivit in years, last time
I had it I didn't care for it much anymore. 
Perhaps it's time to give it a try again.
 
->  -> As I came in the door of my sister's house, this brother came right over
->  -> beaming at me, put his arm around me, and told me I had to come see 
what
->  -> he'd brought as a special Christmas present...  He, Mary Grace and Rob
->  -> already had glasses going...  :)  And, just for the record, the party
->  -> started at about noon, and didn't really break up until well after 6 pm.
->  -> Plenty of time to sip away the whole bottle... ;)  I do think that my
->  -> brothers got the lion's share of it, though.
->  ->
->  hn> I am not really much of a drinker, but when I'm
->  hn> going to have a drink I'd at least prefer to have 
->  hn> what I enjoy. I probably only have about a shot
->  hn> or less of scotch every couple of weeks or so. 
-> 
-> I guess I'm even less of a drinker than you... and I certainly agree
-> about IF I'm going to drink, I'd prefer it to be what I enjoy.  :) 
-> Normally I wouldn't have anything for months on end... unless one of my
-> brothers comes to visit (which is not that frequent) or it's something
-> special, like this Christmas's offering, or perhaps when the whole
-> family is doing their annual camping.
->
(grin) I know, I'm a lush ! (chuckle)
 
->  hn> Every now and then I'll go on a "binge" and have
->  hn> a shot three or four days in a row, but that 
->  hn> never really happens very often (grin). I think my
->  hn> next bottle will be the maCallan 18. It will more
->  hn> than likely last more than a year.
->  
-> I think I had 2-3 doubleshots total of this Christmas present, and then
-> I did kill off (maybe a half shot or less) my old bottle of Macallen 12
-> to celebrate the New Year coming in.  But the last time I had anything
-> was in August, at the Picnic and then at my family's camping that next
-> week.  My bottles generally last for years... 3, 4, sometimes more. 
-> Once in a blue moon I have a hankering for a wee drap without the usual
-> stimuli, but that's about it.  ;)  I've still got most of that bottle of
-> Glenlivet I bought for the picnic, for that matter.  :)  Won't be buying
-> anything for quite a while, I'm sure.
-> 
I'll buy if I see something interesting on sale.
It will always be there when I'm ready for a
wee dram!
Chat with you soon!
