Scotch.... Mr.Connery's fav

[wondersofwine]

KC,
We toured Auchentoshen factory when I was in Scotland.
I can't remember if my father's former boss (Cliff Hillegass of Cliff's Notes fame) prefered Glenlivet or Glenmorangie so a day or so after his death I drank one pour of both Scotches to his memory at a hotel bar where I was staying on Cape Cod (Dan'l Webster's Inn--you may know it--very nice place). I don't normally drink Scotch but can see it's attraction. I did try some of the peaty ones while in Scotland. At a hotel in Edinburgh when I was 21 I asked for a single malt scotch. The bartender asked if I liked a peaty one. I said "I don't know--I'm still experimenting." He selected a peaty one and said "Do you want it neat or on ice?" I said "Neat" and he said approvingly "You can come back again tomorrow night."
