Getting the Itch

Not that kind of itch - I use seat covers.

It's been quite a while since I've last enjoyed a nice dram of whisky (and yes that's spelled correctly Canadians!). While I haven't realized quite how much I've missed it until I caught up briefly with my Penguin Friend (she is not a penguin, rather a friend of penguins) who recently went to a whisky shoppe in New Zealand and has I think 4 bottles to tide her over in Antarctica. All I can think of is how my lack of foresight is catching up to me. Why didn't I bring a bottle!

Also, I just found out that my little brother is a member of a whisky society and has nightcaps of Laphroaig occasionally! What am I doing??

This weekend we went into "town" (a street with some shops on it) to get some bread. I convinced our driver to take us to a store that would sell whisky. He did, but the selection was quite limited; all blendeds with nothing higher than green label. I found some rather affordable ones but I have never heard of them so I decided to do some research before committing. It looks as though White Horse may be the brand for me. Next week I plan on hitting up downtown where I hope the prices are low and the selection is high.
