Scientists crack the case of “screeching“ Scotch tape

Micro-cracks travel along the peeling tape at supersonic speeds, producing shock waves and sound pulses.

Treating myself to supper and a glass of Scotch before walking a couple blocks to r&b band rehearsal.

Ich hab mir heute die Peated Malts of Distinction Tasting Collection gegönnt.

Probiere gerade The Ardmore im nosing glass. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Bin sehr positiv überrascht - der Geruch ist rauchig/torfig, Geschmack ganz leicht süßlich und sehr weich.

Vom Geruch ausgehend habe ich ihn mir stärker vorgestellt. 👍

Another great weekend to look forward to, but not for those who hate sports 😃
Scottish Championship football tonight, Olympic Curling and 6Nations Rugby tomorrow and more of the same on Sunday.

Starting off the weekend with this fine offering from Deanston.

Deanston 2008, 12 yo. 58.1% ABV, NC, NCF.

I always like a wee bit of water with this one. Buttery almonds wth vanilla and dark fruit, plums and raisins. Familiar waxiness, green apples, citrus and sweet toffee. Dark chocolate and a little spice to finish. No sherry bomb, but the PX is most definitely there 😃

A wee Woody's midweek sipper whilst watching Olympic curling.

The Scottish men destroyed the USA Team earlier, and two magnificent wins for the Scottish Women, gubbing the USA Team and then the Japanese Team, put both teams with a slim chance at medals.

Woodrow's Highland Park 7, Whisky Bar of The Year 2025, 58.9%, NC, NCF.

Finished in 1st fill Oloroso firkin. Orange peel on the nose with subtle almond and slight smoke. Silky smooth mouthfeel, chocolate, and mint. More citrus on the tongue, which lingers into a spicy finish of nutmeg and cinnamon.

I spent the evening of Valentine's Day with three gorgeous ladies. It was quite a Hedonistic experience, with their distinct personalities. One of them is a little spicier, another luscious and sweet, and the last a but more mature, smooth and silky. I was very satisfied.

There are advantages to being polydramorous. ;-)
