Yesterday was day 2 of the gathering and we went into the talisker tent to sample some Scotch...yes me and Sami too. Brett actually went in the first day as well. For 5 pounds you got a gathering scotch glass and 3 nosings. so we all went for the deal, Sami and I included, only to find out yuck we really do not like this stuff, that left Brett with 7 samples which he eventually shared with my brother. After we were done at the gathering we went on to tour Hollyrood Palace, which the Queen still resides in when she is in Scotland. Actually Prince Charles did the opening ceremonies for the gathering and he was in the Palace the night before. It was actually a very informative and worthwhile tour. Today we headed up the Aberdeen where we toured the Fraser Castle and are spending the night and tomorrow we are off to Loch Ness then back to Edinburgh tomorrow night.
Ok, so whats 3 nosings? Are you coming home with an accent? I bet you will. Hey P, what kind of wine r you drinking? Oh and I bet all the running you have been doing before you left has put you in terrific shape for all the scottish hills...yes? Are you leaving Brett and Sam in your dust? As you sleep, this post is loaded with questions. Blow Nessie a kiss for me!
ReplyDeleteA nosing is just what they call a tasting, so if you get 3 nosings, you get 3 tastings.I am drinking red wine mostly Australian not many of my regulars here so I'm trying to stick with ones similiar and its not working out to bad so far. The running sure did help for all this walking and all these hills, Sami told me to slow down a few times over the week. Time to enjoy a glass of wine with Brett, Cheers!!
