Even though we’re both vaccinated and boosted, Liz and I have continued to stay in/home more often than not. Tonight, we celebrated Valentine’s Day with a home cooked meal and hung out with one another (and the bunnies in the distance).
“Sir, the truth is, I talk to God all the time, and, no offense, but He never mentioned you.”
It was a fun thing to revisit, stepping through our vacation and all the various places we went. We used a mixture of receipts, notes, blog posts, and regular old memory to try to revisit the whisky we’ve tried, the ones we’ve forgotten, and the ones that still stand out to this day.
While I’m not documenting all our gifts, I wanted to point out that among the things I received… I got three bottles if whisky! Liz said she felt that I missed some tasting opportunites during our Scotland trip – partly due to me being the designated driver, partly due to me discovering a little late that I had a preference for cask strength bourbon barrel whisky.
The place I was talking to was The Strong Water Company. I decided to just buy the bottle (since it was their last), and we’d figure out the shipping somehow. And that’s when I heard some magical words: “My friend is actually flying in to Chicago tomorrow.”
It was an inevitability: Liz and I are now officially members of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society (more specifically, the USA chapter).
