It's amazing the taste differences that they have with their different distilling areas. I'd love to go on one of those tour of Scotland's distillery's (with a stop in Ireland) but I'm afraid I wouldn't come back.

Up that way in the second half of April, might just have to put my Quality Auditors hat on and do some spot checks.
Here's a drink I love that's in the process of fermenting. It's homebrewed Cyser, fermented cider and honey with some raisins tossed in for good measure (and a bit more alcohol). I started the fermentation yesterday and it should be ready to drink sometime this spring. It will be ok then but it will be great in about a year. I drink last year's batch now and try and keep a year ahead of myself. It's a love it or hate it drink. About 1/2 of guys like it and maybe 10% of the women that try it. It will come in around 15% alcohol. When my parents visit, Mom gets mad at me if she catches me giving Pop some. What's floating on top are some of the raisins. The muck on the bottom is honey and raisins. It has a muddy look that will eventually become a clear golden color.
