Taste

As I get older, my love, and appreciation, for good whiskey, and whisky, grows stronger.
I bought four drams on New years eve for the band, a tradition I started many years ago. And still two of the guys threw it down the gullet like a shot. Some people never learn!
Whiskey/Whisky has to be respected, like a good friend. I learned a lot about the Golden Stuff from my good friend Jimmy. A great teacher, and not just about the delights of warming refreshments. Every trial I am put through in this life I hear your words speak to me.
Until we meet again dear friend, I will continue to raise a glass of something from the top shelf to the good health of you, Sinéad, and your family. Slàinte from your Limerick family.

  1. Same place here. The older I get the better the whiskey tastes. The good stuff, at least. Been doing my best to share the knowledge with those who keep with me.

  4. Although I am not a whisky drinker myself, I do understand the taking of time to savour the flavour. As I savour your friendship, and that also of our absent tall friend. Warm hugs to both of you. xoxoxo
