Currently at a conference in Prague. I had forgotten quite how vile Becherovka herb liqueur was until I was invited to try a shot before dinner. As an aid to digestion, it works best in reverse!
For all the Islay haters on this forum I took a special side trip from Glasgow to Islay prior to a conference. The flight on a 24 seater turbo-prop is spectacular and the whiskies from Laphroaig, Bowmore and Bruichladdich even better on site.
We stayed in the same B&B as the Thirsty Traveler, Kevin Brauch, and had dinner in a restaurant with over 200 single malts.
I own a square meter of Islay, thanks to Laphroaig, and would love to go back there. Anyone who hates Islay single malts, Lagavullin, Ardbeg and Bunnahabhain is welcome to send them my way. I'd also accept Jura, Talisker and Highland Park from islands other than Islay.
