This past weekend was atypical for me: I went out with some friends and was social with people I barely know.
( Cut to appease my length challenged friend(s) )
All in all, the weekend was fabulous. Though I only -feel- as if I had a single day, it was well worth it. Again, Raz Fergus and I were all affirmed as to why we do what we do. Through whisky, we have met some of the best people this life has to offer us. For essential strangers to open their house to us and accommodate us for the night is truly something special. While our love for Scotch and Whisky are indeed unparalleled, the true motivation for our continued involvement with the tastings and the SCA in general stems solely from the people we are able to meet and befriend. And THAT, my friends, is worth the cost of a nice single malt 10 times over.
