Last night we attended a scotch tasting. How timely! It was a very informal affair at the home of the Dutch consul and her husband, who is a Scotsman. His collection was quite impressive. And all the guests brought a bottle to add. Apparently, they have established a sort-of club, getting together once a month or so to taste whiskey. So the stash actually belongs to the group. Baboo was happy to contribute the Edradour he bought during our trip. http://www.edradour.co.uk/enjoyframe.html There were some interesting things presented, but I'll let Baboo elaborate on the scotch. I did taste several, and still like Glenmorangie best, which was one of the first ones I ever tried in Scotland.
I especially enjoyed meeting so many nice people including a gentlemen in the shipping industry and his wife from Denmark, an oil man from France, the Deputy Chief of Mission and her husband from Britain, the Consul from Canada, and, of course, lots of our new friends from the American embassy. Our group went together in a big armored van and, as often happens, we were the largest contingent - even more Americans than Dutch, on whose compound the party took place.
No photos this time. One of our colleagues took lots of pix; maybe I can get a few from him.
