Losers, without a doubt. Not in the pejorative Merkan sense of the term,
you unnerstand. It's just that the British excel at losing at Sports.
And, roping in the scots, there's whiskey, of course.

And the Greeks and Italians eat garlic in bed?
Acshirly, I missed out three verses on the perfify of the Welsh,
Irish and Scots, din't I? Summat like:
The Welshman's dishonest, he cheats when he can
He's little and dark, more like monkey than man
He works underground with a lamp in his hat
And he sings far too loud, far too often and [flat] flat.
The Irishman now, our contempt is beneath
He sleeps in his boots and he lies in his teeth
He blows up policemen, or so I have heard
And blames it on Cromwell or William the 3rd
[can't unforget the bit about the scotsman, prolly
involves kilts and meanness...]
Someone (austin?) mentioned, sadly, that they'd encountered someone who
hadn't quite realised that this song was actually taking the piss out
of rabid nationalists...

I thought the jury was still out on that one...now Potcheen, mind...
personally, I rate the Jameson as a good regular whisky, better than Bells,
and while the bushmillls malt is very good, I think some of the best scottish
ones are genuinely better, e.g. Bowmore 17-y-o, Laphroaig 15-y-o (never got me
mitts onna 21...) and some others, and that's without getting into the
seriously expensive stuff. (mind you, some people would call 30 squid a bockle
expensive, i fhccbfr (yay, a vowelles rot))

All the Islay single malts are good [1], Bowmore, Bruchladdich [2],
Laphroig, Lagavulin. A visit to the island can be one nice hazy week
[3].
[1] at least all those I've tasted
[2] can never spell that even when I've visited the place
[3] especially since the island only has 4 men in blue and no radar
traps [4].
[4] except when they send someone over from the mainland with one and
then the locals can warn you to keep clear of it [5].
[5] since there's only one road where its straight enough to use a radar
trap and drive fast enough to break the speed limit.

Thing is, I've subscribed to alt.drinks.scotch-whiskey (sic) for over three
mumfs now and there have hardly beeen any postings, and certainly only one
intelligent one apart from me own.
Then I come inter the shed and find much more info about whiskey.
So I'll arsk the same question here that I did on a.d.s.
Has anybody comer across an Orkney malt called "Scarpa". Does antbody know
anything about it.
I saw it for sale on a crosss channel ferry's duty paid shop. Before that I
believed that the only Orkney malt was Highland Park.
I bought a bockle of Scarpa, but haven't tasted it yet since it hasn't been
whisky drinkin weather.

Cheap and nasty far eastern 'sealed' bearing went all disintegratededed
on me in the middle of the North York Moors. No gear shifting
available, so shortened chain to make single speed mountain bike to
finish the ride. Great fun in the end. The pendant reminds me of the
day, and looks nice too, made out of the bit that remained. Lovely
asymmetric wear on the anodising.

According to Michael Jackson (no, not the weird one) there'm a "1983" and
an 8-yo called "Scapa". prodooced by Allied Distillers, wot are indeed
an Orkney.
He says, and I quote (for educaional porpoises, and it's only a small
excerpt, etc.)
"Scapa Flow, a stretch of water linking the North Sea to the Atlantic, is
famous for its roles in both World Wars. The distillery, near Kirkwall,
fails to be the northernmost in Scotland by only half a mile. It was
founded in 1885, and was powered by a waterwheel that has now been
restored. Two of the original warehouses survive, accomodating empty casks,
but most of the present fabric dates from 1959.
The water supply is very peaty, but the distillery uses wholly unpeated malt.
It has a Lomond wash-still, which may contribute to a slight oiliness of the
whisky. Maturation is in Bourbon casks, and that may account for the vanilla
notes, sometimes suggesting very spicy chocolate - or licorice of the salty
style made in the Netherlands.
House style: Salt, hay, oily, spicy chocolate. Aperitif.
Scapa 8-year-old, 40 vol, Gordon and MacPhail: After a hearty walk, before
dinner.
Colour: Amber
Nose: Fresh, sea-breeze saltiness, new-mown hay, heather, some bourbon
character.
Body: Medium, silky.
Palate: Salty, slightly sharp, tangy.
Finish: Oily but dry, appetising.
Score: 76
Scapa 1983, 40 vol, Gordon and MacPhail
Colour: Amber
Nose: Salt, hay, chocolate, Bourbon
Body: Medium, silky.
Palate: Smooth, vanilla, chocolate, tangy towards finish.
Finish: Chocolate, toffee, licorice, salt.
Score: 78
Scapa 24-year-old, 46.5 vol, Cadenhead (distilled 1965, bottled 1990)
Colour: gold
Nose: Salty and sharp. Appetising.
Body: Medium, soft, smooth
Palate: Salty, hay-like, heathery, perfumy.
Finish: salty, appetite-arousing.
Score: 77
Scapa 1963, 40 vol, Gordon and MacPhail, a nightcap
Colour: full amber
Nose: powerful, wonderfully briny
Body: medium, soft, smooth.
Palate: Salty and sharp, but also with caramelly Bourbon and bitter-
chocolate notes.
Finish: Bitter-chocolate, long, sustaining.
Score: 79 "
By way of comparison, he rates Bowmore between 82 and 90, Bunnahabhain
gets 77, Aberlour gets 83-85, 10-y-o Jura gets 71, 21-y-o Jura rates 78,
Highland Park gets 85-93, and Bladnoch gets 85 (Eccles). 16-y-o Lagavulin
he rates at 95, 12yo gets 89, Laphroaig gets 86 (10yo), 89 (15yo), 81 (16yo)

That's the one, and well worth avoiding in the hour before the Port

Tell me about it. Saturday night I ventured into the wicked metropolis of
Basingstoke to celebrate the barfday of a (22 years younger than me)
colleague. The early part of the evening was spent quite agreeably in a
reasonable facsimle of an Irish bar, but then I got persuaded to carry on
into *the* most notorious nightclub in town. I have to say that
Basingstoke's most notorious nightclub is about as exciting as it's most
notorious Santa Claus grotto (Owen Owen) in mid November. Any road, as the
evening wore on the effects of music an alcohol made me start to feel quite
jolly, 'til I had to go to the loo and caught meself in the mirror.
Arrrrrrgh! Lbooyd good wbo I'd remembered to take a sack with me, innit.

I guess here would be as good a place as any to announce that over on my AOL
account (yes we still have it, the medieval battlegroup has a website on one
screen name, too much trouble to get everyone who links to it to change, so
I guess we're stuck with it), I added a new screen name. I was spending way
too much time guvaxvat in the lorry the other day, and decided to try a
"Buck Rogers" screen name, and it was available. I can now be reached at
bdbdb...@aol.com under the name of Twiki, unless I misspelled it (Twiki,
that is)

HP is another ov me faves. I'm drinkin it now, there's a glars standin on me

Um, in me 'aste I missed a page - Bowmore Legend gets 80, a score it
shares with the 29-year-old Cadenhead 49.4vol Bowmore. The 90s are the
43vol (1972) 21-year-old and the 50vol 1964 Black Bowmore. The other
Bowmores are: 30yo Anniversary - 88, 25yo (1968) 43vol - 89, 10yo 40vol - 82,
12yo 43vol - 87, Bicentenary (15yo) 43vol - 87.

Same applies to me 16yo Lagavulin. Ver nearly not at all full, that one.
Evaporates, it does. Global warmin, that's the culprit.

>Wow!
Yers, I fort it were nice, I were quite pleased ter see mr Jackson fort
so too, gives me more faith in all the "slight hint of dried bogpaper
with a dog/squirrel nose" obloskc. Mindyou, the lowest score I can find
is 57. 8yo Glen Mhor gets 64, a couple of the "connoisseur's choice" range
at 66 (Coleburn and banff) while a 5yo Glen Grant lets the otherwise
high-scoring Glen Grant side down with a 65. Old Rhosdhu gets 65 and the
comment that it's a "luxurious malt to drink in the bath". 20yo Kinclaith
only gets 65, and 20yo Tamnavulin only 64. The absolute pits, though,
accordin' to Jackson, is Ladyburn, at 57, another 20yo Cadenhead
bottled, which (in fairness) was never intended to be sold as a single.
>> 12yo gets 89, Laphroaig gets 86 (10yo), 89 (15yo), 81 (16yo) and 87 (1974

just looked up glenmorangie, wot gets 80 (10yo 40 & 57.6vol, 18yo 43vol)
or 85 (21yo 43vol and '72 46vol single barrel vintage) or 87 (port finish
47vol)
I find the number of varieties quite fascinatin'.

Yeah, but I have to agree. T'only other 95 is 25 yr old Macallan,
which is not an everyday tipple for me.

Great little book. Local whisky emporium uses it for writing his
prices in, so he can give you a quick sales pitch if you ask for a
price. Very individual taste, the water of life, but I can follow most
of what Mr. J says about most of them. Whisky, Port and Ale, I can
make sensible comments on when I taste 'em. Bockle of vino, and all I
can say is whether or not I like it. Strange, that.

Yer, why not? Me Birfday's in November, when's yours? How many other '44ers
could make it? We could have a '44ers whisky tasting shedmeet.
Did I see Scarborough on yer sig? I were just down the road in Bridlington
larst monday and it rained all day. Was mostly fine in Leicester 9(I'm
tolled).

What about 17yo Ardbeg, which IIRC is the youngest they sell? The
distillery's just up the road from Lagavulin. Must try some sometime.
I agree about the Lagavulin. Another fave. Unfortunately out of stock at the
moment, and I'm almost out of Laphroaig too.
I quite like Talisker too. How do they rate that?

That name rings a bell. Ar yerst, I've got some in the back of the whiskey
cupboard. It says 10yo on the bockle but it could be 20yo by now. One of
those that sits in the back of the cupboard and gets forgotten.

So less than half of the range of possible scores is used. Why don't they
just rate them 0-50 instead?

10yo Ardbeg: 85, 18yo: 90 (Master of Malt) or 91 (Cadenhead). 1974
(Connoisseurs Choice) gets 88.

8yo: 89, 10yo: 90. Described in glowing terms, much use of "huge".

You did, but its Arj Scarborough [2]. Confuses quite a lot of
people who phone up from Scarborough [3] yelling, 'Well I've got to
Scarborough, where are you?' Quite ipssse them off to be told they past
our turn off 2 hours back.

just for the fun of it and November sounds as good a time as any

A friend, whose judgement in such matters I trust, spent 2 weeks in
Glencoe doing comparison test of the various whiskies in the hotel.
She declared HP to be the best.
The important question, though, is;
what is a yardarm and when is the sun over it?

I guvax you'll find that if you squeeze it with both hands for a while,
it'll go soft and useable. Contrary to popular belief.
Aksherley panel pins take a lot of beating as GSs [457] - better still
(or better yet (for merry kins)), are veneer pins [%].
<End>
[%] I just found a arj cynfgvp tube of them in the kitchen pshed
cupboard Lower Right Number 1 [139]. Heaven xabjf when or why I obhtug
them, but they seem kwite a possibility for all sorts of things.
[139] That cupboard can tell some stories. I've just had another look,
and there's (inter alia) a pot of Technical Agar (1.5%), a glass funnel,
a roll of swing-bin liners, a bottle of patent knotting, a jar of "Lord
Sheraton Beeswax Balsam" (it smelt gorgeous once I got the lid off), a
paintbrush glued to the bottom of a jamjar (screwtop but the top isn't
there), a tin of somesortofbrilliantwhitepaint, and a tin of dried-up
shoe polish.
[457] I se that even glass isn't even fbyq in proper units nowadays. I
unq gb ohl some the other day and I see it's measured in "zz" instead of
the proper "oz" measurements. Sad.

I guvax you've got to follow suit if you can, provided of course that it's
proper linseed oil putty and not that acrylic muck. I'm sure I had the 10
of Glazing Sprigs here just now, on closer inspection it seems to be the
seven of Rusty Veneer Pins though. Buggrit.
