Scotch Tasting

Tonight trimguy and I had tickets to a Scotch tasting seminar at the Walton Arts Center. The evening was facilitated by Robert Sickler, a Master of Whisky. The name whisky is derived from from the Gaelic, "Visage Beatha," which translates as Water of Life. The Irish learned about distillation and in the 12th century the Scots picked it up.

What a hoot! I have to admit, the idea of drinking scotch makes my mouth pucker, but what lovely names for them all.

I gave up on developing any taste for good Scotch, because the stuff is expensive and my Scotch-drinking friends really shouldn't waste it on me. I went to a Scotch party once at Pennsic, and I allowed as to how I could grow to tolerate a couple of the ones they brought out late after the crowd had gone, but it just didn't seem worth the trouble and expense.
