[Sca-cooks] Is it just me, or when did they start doing this???

[S CLEMENGER]

Yup.  My scotch-savoring friends (all of whom seem to favor single-malts) all say the same.  I just shudder, and use a "designated scotch drinker" in peers' circles.  ;o)

  Whereas, the older and peatier they are the better... I used
  to absolutely loathe scotch until a friend introduced me to
  Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Bowmore.  Oh my good god... You could
  spend a lifetime trying to guess all the flavours rolling
  around on your tongue with those babys! 

  Engine cleaner, hospital floor cleaner, seaweed, marshy
  bits, tar, roast lamb's crunchy burnt bits, floral, peppery,
  heather, salt, slate, all those notes are loved and
  savoured....
