|
|
Another most enjoyable evening was had by all last night at my single malt scotch club tasting and dinner.
The drams presented last night were in order:
Aultmore 12, 46% abv.
Tomatin Cu Bogan, 46% abv.
The Ileach Cask Strength 58% abv.
(This is not the 56% abv. that is listed on the Independent Bottler's website but what I believe to be an older bottling which was their best according to my sources).
***My taste notes for these are now posted in the Single Malt Tasting Notes section of the Forum. _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."

Enjoy your tasting notes as always, not sure if it was deliberate about the Tomatin but I agree it is Boggin, which I would use to describe something disgusting. Originating from
BOGAN, Boggan, Boggin, n. “A boil, a large pimple, filled with white matter, chiefly appearing between the fingers of children in spring†(Bwk., Lnk., Ayr. 1825 Jam.2).
Arg. 1882 Argyllsh. Herald (3 June):
The wins was awfu cowld an' he tok a boggan . . . in his chokes.
Rnf. 1788 E. Picken Poems, etc. 172:
He coud hae cur'd the cough, an' phthisic, Burns, boggans, botches, boils, an' blisters.
[Gael. bogan, anything soft, from bog, adj., soft (MacLennan).] _________________ Putting the func in dysfunctional. |
