If I were to play word association with most people, the first word that would pop into their head when I say October would most likely be Halloween. Not so for yours truly! Whenever someone mentions the month of October, the first thing that pops into my head […]
Recently, I attended a Scotch Malt Whisky Society event. Once you examine the program, you need to develop a strategy for the evening. Do you go after a favorite distiller and “run the table”? Do you seek out only those bottles that are over 18 years old? Do […]
