Talisker Storm
Aug. 3rd, 2013 08:37 pmThe scent actually reminds me of sea breezes and it's awfully smooth for Talisker, clean and less charged than other varieties I've tasted, though I'm not sure that I'm too keen on the heady nature of the bite. That said I like my scotch so smooth that you barely notice it going down so that's an ongoing complaint of mine. Mixed with coke it adds a soft spice note to the mixture, enough so that I find myself drinking it far quicker than I ought.
All of which suggests that I'm definitely a fan of West Scotland regions and that I should probably investigate something from Campbeltown next.

Apr. 11th, 2013 09:30 pm12 year old Cardhu single malt reminds me why I'm not the greatest fan of Speyside scotch. It's very distinctly weighty and a little bit acerbic, though, granted, I'm not taking my time over it this evening. Having made the quick trip to the local Tesco, in the nearest town, I'd decided that I was going to spend the coupon I'd picked up last week, so was apt to pick up a single malt of some variety, along with the roasting pan I'd been after for a while. At the checkout the cashier, evidently making conversation, asked if the Cardhu was a special present for someone, to which I responded that no, I'd just had a bad day at work. Though, considering my locale, and what I was wearing, I'm sure I could be any variety of country living type who'd at least have had the good sense to lock up the ratting guns before I hit the scotch.

And a new demotivational poster which just about sets the tone of things of late.
This track also reminds me of Metropolis, in particular that scene where Freder falls to his knees in front of the machine that eats workers, for some reason.

Jun. 5th, 2007 01:23 pmPhiladelphia with garlic & herbs turns out to be a viable substitute for a distinct lack of parmesan to be had for my salad. Also, vinaigrette sans grainy mustard isn’t bad at all. It just needs a bit more pepper and a little less honey.
And having just seen a recipe for a vodka cocktail involving elderflower cordial, I have to say that I’m somewhat dubious because it makes me think of that dandelion & burdock malarkey. Vodka, pomegranate juice, sugar and a dash of lime cordial suits me fine anyway. When it doesn’t choose to wield my cocktail shaker shut that is.
Additionally, I’m not at all sure about this because it just sounds like some sort of variant on Bombay toast.
