Angels club Member story; by James R. Miller Jr. Fort Worth, TX

Prior to my wife and I leaving for Scotland, my wife commented that we needed to try some Scottish Whisky since this was supposed to be the Gold Standard. We went to the liquor store and came home with a bottle of a 10 year old Glenfiddich. Instantly I fell in love and must say it hasn’t been the last bottle I’ve purchased of Glenfiddich. During our visit to Scotland I had several “Wee BITS’ of Whisky, mainly Glenfiddich, but an occasional OBAN. I have yet to meet a whisky I didn’t love. Our Travel Agent/Friend, Liz Gillespie (mcleanscotland), told us Loch Fynne Whiskies in Inveraray was a great place to get an education on the different whiskies. We walked into Loch Fyne Whiskies, the gent behind the counter asked if he could help us. I responded with “I was told that you were the man to teach me about Whisky. He chuckled, then began to do his magic. He chose 4 different whiskeys and I began tasting each one. I ended up having 6 bottles sent home to be added to my bar. My new additions are: Glenfiddich 21 year old Gran Reserva Rum Cask Finish. Auchroisk 20 Year Old. Bruichladdich Cuvee 407 PX 21 Year Old. Longrow 18 Year Old. Caol Ila 1982 30 Year Old Cask #6487 Signatory. And of course we had to buy a bottle of the Loch Fyne Liqueur in honor of Loch Fyne Whiskies.

Two of the bottles I had sent home will be put away for safekeeping. The other 4 bottles will be enjoyed and when the bottle is empty I will re-stock with the help from Loch Fyne Whiskies. I enjoy all types of whisky. The younger whisky because of picking out the individual flavors and the older ones for the richness and singular great taste. My new drink of choice is a nice ale with a wee bit of whisky or wee bit of whisky with a nice cigar.

Paul’s note; A lovely couple, we arranged their Scottish tour, including a renewal of wedding vows in a castle! I think, apart from whisky, the castle was a highlight! see more; www.mcleanscotland.com/james&nicole.asp
