in a strange turn of events, drove down to Rumford, RI last night
needed to catch Elliott before he headed off to WhiskyFest in NYC
carried an Ardbeg Lord of the Isles in my lap
and we opened it in the store
my goodness. tasty. tasty.

i found one or two things i simply could not live without.
including an unfiltered Brosh, which hasn't been available in years.
years, i tell you.
Elliott let us sample about 12 new scotches that the store would be getting in
over the next few weeks.
from a 11 yr old to a 36 yr old mixed bottlings
it was quite an undertaking
i employed the fine art of spitting
lest any of you think i condone or even consider driving after such a tasting
