January 1st, 2011
The first day of the year was memorable, although not necessarily a memory that I had any interest in photographically reliving. Suffice it to say, that in the heat of the moment, I may have ungifted this excellent bottle of scotch from a good friend.
It took my multiple visits to liquor stores and endless online browsing of scotch reviews to choose this particular bottle. I had wanted a McCallen 18, but without the hefty pricetag that comes along with it. In the end, I settled on the Balvenie 15 Year, Single Cask. Hand-numbered from a single distillation, Speyside with vanilla, honey and oak flavor.
It will eventually be returned to its intended owner, but it did not lead in any toasts to the New Year.
