Well Written

June 21st, 2006

Couldn’t sleep on the red eye back from Hawaii last night/this morning. So I read. Came across a quote from a Daniel Handler short story Delmonico, that sums up my feeling about scotch drinkers.

“what kind is there?” the tall one said.
“There’s cheap, there’s good and then there’s pretentious”
“I usually drink Walker Black”, he said.
“Pretentious it is,” she said and his friend smiled.

    I remember from your Blues Bouquet bartending stint when, following discussion about the benefits of smoked-malt based beverages, you provided me a blind test between Johnny Walker Red and Johnny Walker Black. The taste that I enjoyed more was the Red;
    I was surprised when you noted it was the less expensive of
    the two.
    (I just looked at the ISLD price list and discovered
    there is now also a JW Green and a JW Gold.
