So each year, for my friend’s birthday, I bring him out to that pub I won’t shut up about[1] and buy him and myself a flight of Scotch. Suffice to say, I enjoy his birthday almost as much as he does. If you’re following my posts closely, you’d be creepy…. also, you’ll remember I did this last year as well.

This year we did the Highland/Speyside flight:

• Glen Garioch 15 year[2]
• Glenmorangie 10 year 100 proof
• Brora 1981 18 year Douglas Laing Old Malt Cask[3]
• Macallan Cask Strength Sherry[4]
• Glenfiddich 15 year Solera
• Glenlivet Scott’s Selection 1977

Each dram is 1/2 oz, and we both ensured to take breaks between each one, with water, and both of us ensured that what we had for dinner was not overtly strong in spices (I had the bangers and mash, and seriously, the bangers were like butter). I didn’t…
