have decided that in order to be a single malt aficionado, i have to possess more than one bottle of single malt -- my collection doubled yesterday with the purchase of an ardbeg 10yo, which i only found after poking through about 10 stores on the lower west side. pennsylvania, as think i've mentioned before, only has state-licensed liquor stores, which means glenlivets, macallans, and a whole host of other undrinkable shit. i would dearly love to get my hands on some stuff from this list, although that probably involves actual trips to the distilleries and spending more money than i have in my bank account. fine, it would be nice to lay eyes on them, for a start, or for a multi-millionaire in deerstalker and tweed jacket to have me over for tastes and genteel conversation.
