Scotch Whisky

Now, I didn't drink much alcohol prior to having kids, and whisky was definately not something I would ever CHOOSE to drink, however being in Scotland, I had to try it. My first time...so painful. Burned the whole way going down, and I couldn't force myself to take a second sip.
Fast forward two years.
Paul is having a small dram of 10 year old Jura while reading in bed. He turns out his bedside lamp, and goes to drink the last little bit in has glass... he underestimates the amount in the glass and it spills down his chin and onto the bed sheets.

I smell the whisky all night long, but instead of a strong alcohol smell, it's a lovely scent of Vanilla, and honey, and cinnamon.... golden honey dripping off a vanilla blossom in the morning sun while the cinnamon fairies since and an angel gets it's wings... it was lovely.
The next time he had a dram so did I, and since then, I've been sold. I've never met a whisky I haven't liked.
For my birthday, Paul took me to Jura so I could visit the distillery there.

We have a book called the "Whisky Companion" or just "THE BOOK" as we call it, that has all the single malt scotch whisky's listed there along with all the information on it, history, distillery location, tasting notes, whisky score.
 We're drinking our way through the book! I love learning about it, and it's a wonderful little hobby that Paul and I enjoy together!
