Almost two weeks have passed since The Cabinet met to enjoy a liquid tour of The Peated Isles, so I am afraid your correspondent will once again have to excuse the brevity of the post and instead point to the photos. It's been too long. I've been busy. But look! Over there! Pretty pictures. Pretty pictures of scotch whisky. Delicious scotch whisky. Such delicious scotch whisky.
As I have often commented before, The Cabinet leans coastal. We can appreciate a well crafted Highland, Lowland, or Speyside, but peated malts from within sight of the sea are what makes us smile, and sometimes even giggle, with delight. Well, ok, not exactly "giggle", but definitely make inarticulate but unmistakably positive noises.
"The Peated Isles" featured were Skye for the Talisker 10 year old, Orkney for the Highland Park Valfather, and Islay for the Bowmore 15. All retail for around $100 here, so it was a fair fight, although ultimately not really a fight because we loved them all. Possibly the Talisker the most, but this is somewhat hairsplitting.
Note below the Sargeant-at-Arms' careful measuring of each member's pour. We are men of science, not dissipation. Not much dissipation anyway. Not that night. And never in the presence of cameras.
Slainte!
