A colder climate calls for a warmer and this to me and my Dad is probably a single malt aged no less than 16 years .. a Bowmore 18 year old is the perfect antidote to a frozen mind and body … this is the sophisticated and extremely enjoyable way of warming the cockles with an after effect to the novice, that occasionally invokes what an ole college buddy Jamie would call the ‘Faliraki shuffle’ a laymans term granted but he knew what he meant, and this has rang true with me for over a decade now … this basically incurs the whisky hitting the point about 3 inches from your jawline inside your throat and a uncontrollable spasm occuring that involves a sort of shudder from the toes to the temples … wonderful and fearsome all at the same time … aftertaste however is like someone lit the best campfire ever and it just keeps crackling inside the stomach … i urge you to try it, one of my heroes, Rick Danko sings in the track by The Band .. ‘Stage Fright’ – “now i got fire water right on my breath” and folks, yes this may be the down fall of many a man but in small appropriate doses this is nectar, this is heaven … www.whiskyshop.com
