In which I meet someone who knows a lot, learn interesting things, and then do the Scotch connoisseur’s equivalent of a face-plant. Not literally. Though given the Scotch drinking part, that might also have been a possibility.
A couple weeks ago I posted about tasting a $660 bottle of Scotch with Peter Gordon, the chairman of the company that makes Glenfiddich (William Grant & Sons). That interview was one of the highlights of my November. The article I wrote about the experience of tasting Scotch with an expert just came out and I’m pretty proud of it. If you want to know what I learned about Scotch, or how I totally embarrassed myself at the end of what was mostly a great interview, you can check it out here.

That’s a fantastic article Hanne, makes me want to start trying new things that I’ve always been afraid of.

Straight scotch would probably kill me. But I’ve tagged you with a meme and an award, participate only if you want to: http://cooking-books.blogspot.com/2008/12/two-tags.html

As far as ‘faceplants’ go… that was not too tragic! Great article.

Ooh, lucky you. I’ve seen the bottle of which you wrote. We have some good stuff in our collection. You may have started down the road of a good addiction. I know what I’m having before bed tonight!
