    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    C'mon, be honest. You ate paste, didn't you?

    I am not a fan of scotch, as my palette is not refined enough to appreciate the flavors of Jolly Ranchers and dirt. I'm a bourbon guy, because I like my liquor in the same way I like my women; brown and a bit harsh. However, my boss loves Scotch, so we got her the Mac 20 (21?) for Christmas last year. She seemed to like it.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    One of my least favorite scotches. I was contemplating throwing the bottle out and a friend said he would take it. I still feel bad about giving it to him.

    Johnny Walker Gold and Platinum are good but I actually like Green better and didn't care for Blue.

    A couple others to consider.

    Macallan 18 year (my favorite)
    Dalwhinnie 15 year
    The Dimple Pinch is a good blend

    Note: I drink my scotch on the rocks which changes the flavors a bit.

    LOL, I can only drink that stuff when it's freezing cold outside at elk camp.

    I do the same. The melting ice actually brings out the complexity of the flavors within the scotch. I used to get invited to the annual Johnnie Walker events and they had us try various single malt scotches from the different regions neat and with a little water so we could really notice the differences. Pretty cool stuff.

    fitterjohn, I think your buddy will enjoy that gift. Maybe he'll share some with you?
