for Laphroaig cask strength
Were you a woman, oh glass
of Scotch, I’d puzzle over your
dank and peaty stink—then
throw caution to the wind and
enjoy your delectable funk
just the same.

SEXIST LOOKSIST HOMOPHOBIC HETERONORMATIVE ASSHOLE
/Ilyka Damen
1 hour and 2 bottles later “SOD OFF, SWAMPY!”
I slay, you slay, we all slay for Islay.
must be a foot man
I am am both appalled and intrigued by this “Islay” of which you speak.
Rhymes with “nice lay”. Not.
Might have to give that stuff a try, I love hippie chicks.
That isn’t the one that tastes like BandAids[tm], is it?
How’d the peat get in there?
Maybe it is like making love on the beach…. sounds nice until the sand shows up
We’ve decided to name him Sandy.
No, it’s the one that tastes like Vicks Vap-o-rub.
I will, however, agree with Jeff’s paean of The Balvenie. Simply perfect.
If it smells like fish, have a dish.
If it smells like cologne, leave it alone.
If it smells like peat, what in the everloving fuck is that!?!
How about: I lay, you lay, we all lay for Islay
Just so’s we’re not talkin’ bout no He-brides.
Yech!
Points for that pun, Dan.
hater.
I almost wrote a similar homage to a very warm bottle of peppermint schnapps that I found on the floorboard of a used Nova that I bought in high school.
I threw up before I got the chance.
Your treatment is far more timeless, Jeff.
Robin–
The Chanson of the He-brides.
It’s a lay, man.
(Prolly cause I had to sing Orff tonight.)
I think that I shall never see
A Scotch that doesn’t taste like pee.
Like amber urine in a glass,
it smells like sh*t, and tastes like ass.
Odes to Scotch, Lord may they cease
Lest lurker’s numbers soon decrease.
Sorry, I don’t know what came over me. Slinking off the enjoy a fine Australian table wine (for those of you keen on regurgitation).
Och! Ye’ve been tuppin’ Peatreek Annie, Aye? Dinna fash ye’self, laddie, it’ll wash off….
Dan, more than one pun is a war crime – what we call “an Andrew”.
Oh, no! Kirsty Wark rhymes!
O fortuna
Sorry Dan, but I’m having a difficult time trying to envisage what part a healthy MALE part you would be singing
O, for tuna!
That’s what my cats tell me every morning, man!
Tuna! Salmon!Trout!
Any fish you got.
My keeshonds too!
Who knew?
I’d write a poem about my jug of Val-U-Rite vodka, but it thinks poetry is for sissies.
Sean M.
Don’t forget, poetry is for faggots too.
You must acknowledge that, else the core group will ostracize your non-conformist scotch tasting ass.
I don’t drink the hooch, and that is fine
But I really miss the taste of wine
If only I could have some more
Silver Oak from ‘94
Napa, of course, not Alexander Valley.
You know, I’ve never actually tasted my ass, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t taste like scotch.
counter-tenor. ;D
SEXIST LOOKSIST HOMOPHOBIC HETERONORMATIVE ASSHOLE! FEAR MY VAGINA!
/amanda marcotte
The fact that you feel that you can make Strong Vaginist Amanda a mere “tag” shows how insecure you are as a post–Aw, fuck it all…
I’m listening to Sid Vicious’ cover of “My Way” right now. I’m pretty sure he was just fucking with Sinatra when he covered that song.
Plus, there was probably a bunch of skag involved…
To my sixer of Miller Lite
You might not be good
But at least you’re not heavy
Well, let’s do this thing.
WEIGHTIST!
/some nutcase
INSANEOPHOBE!
/another one
“If only I had teeth down there.”
Dang it, Pablo, now I’m gonna have an NC-17-rated version of Timon and Pumbaa’s song running through my head all day.
Laphroaig, the hippy chick of Scotch whisky.
Works for me, B Moe…
ee cummings would be proud.
SB: any16 year old left?
I bought a bottle of Balvenie Doublewood last night. Disappointing.
If you’re into Islay malts, and I am, I highly recommend the 10 yr old Ardbeg, which (in my opinion) utterly kicks the ass of Laphroiag. The 15-yr-old Lagavulin, though, is another thing entirely. But about double the price.
Any Scot knows that Islay is pronounced eye-la, just as Dalziel is pronounced dee-el and Menzies is said ming-us. If you’re smart enough to drink it, you should be smart enough to say it right.
Slart, I have bottles of the Ardbeg 10, the Laphroig 10 (non-cask strength) and the Lagavulin 16. All wonderful, imo. Taste is sunjective, but I prefer the Laphroig over the Ardbeg and the Lagavulin is the the best. Yeah, the Lagavulin is pricey, but it is so smooth and so good, it really is worth it. However, it is my once in an every great while dram due to the price.
Disappointed by the Doublewood? Personally, I love the stuff. It’s my second favorite behind the Lagavulin. I also like the Highland Park 12. I’m looking to get the Highland Park 18 as I have heard great things about it.
