Sometimes the Cabinet Secretary's inspiration fails him. Sometimes the Cabinet Secretary forgets that a meeting has been scheduled. Sometimes the Cabinet Secretary scrambles at the last minute to select the whiskies for tasting. But then he peers in there and sees that the bottles in the bottom right corner, at the end of the alphabet, have been accumulating dust. Literal dust. But metaphorical too. And then he looks outside and notes the apocalyptic orange sky and the dead tree beside the Cabinet Summer Quarters, on the banks of the Assiniboine River, and thinks to himself, "end of the alphabet, end of the world". Sometimes it all works out anyway. And it did.
As it happens, the five bottles at the end of the alphabet originated in five different countries: Sazerac Rye (USA), Sexton (Ireland), Penderyn Sherrywood (Wales), Paul John (India), and Scapa 10 y.o. (Scotland). Some of you will be keen to hear about these in more details. You are out of luck. Sometimes the Cabinet Secretary is lazy or busy or both (an oddly viable combination). Sometimes the Cabinet Secretary will decide to give the blog entry over to the photographers in the group. Before doing so, he will make one comment: whoever you are, avoid the Sexton (generic "likker") and seek out the Scapa (a scotch lovers ambrosia). The rest depend on who you are.
