OFFTOPIC:
If you leave an empty glass used for Double Wood long enough to dry, it smells exactly like maple syrup.
Also have developed an affinity for the Dimple Pinch; a blended Scotch and less subtle than the Balvenies (those that I have tried) but also excellent IMO. About the same price as the less expensive Double Wood too so not awful. Not a swilling Scotch but a very nice treat now and again at my house as is Double Wood. I try to keep a bottle of each on hand for me and those who like the stuff.
Yep, after the 14 year old, single malt Double Wood, the price goes up fast.
I did not know you were a Scotch drinker Chuck. If I did, I would have bought you a wee dram of the version of your choice for 'stepping up to the plate' for the OTP fund raiser back in TN. Which ever one you wanted up to ~ 21 year old stuff; some of that stuff is just out of my reach.
https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/18354/balvenie-50-year-oldAmusing story: an older gentleman was touring a Scotch distillery with a (or the) manager. At the end, the tourist was offered his choice(s) of Scotches to sample as he wished: He selected one and said he would like it on ice, with a splash of water: the distilling master became quite irate and say 'You will have it the way man and God intended, in a glass, as taken from the keg!".
By the way, I am enjoying a Newcastle Brown Ale as I type this.... You remember those, right?

My favorite for some years now. I DO like Dalwhinnie [sp?] and the 17 year doublewood is even better. BUT, it costs more than twice as much so I don't recommend it. I feel about Scotch research the same as I do seeking the perfect Margarita recipe... it's painstaking but rewarding work. CHeers!
