Mrs Elliott held a movie night over here for some of her lady friends last Friday night.
One of her friends pulled out a flask when she got here, asked for a whisky
glass. "Talisker," she explained. Graciously shared some with me. A fine single-malt.
I commented on her excellent taste. Unusual, in a woman, to appreciate such a whisky.
Well, it turns out that last year she
and some friends did a walking tour of distilleries on Islay. In 2015
they are returning for a walking tour of Speyside distilleries.
After the film, I said that there was a bit of music in it that I liked. It was not identified in the credits.
The whisky woman said that surely there was a soundtrack available. I
did a brief search and found nothing. She stuck to her guns -- there has to be one, she said.
So I pitched it back in her court, and
wagered her a glass of whisky at O'Kane's if she turns up a soundtrack. She
asked whether they had good whisky there. I said sure, The Balvenie,
for one. "The Balvenie," she sniffed. "A woman's whisky."
Maybe she's too manly for me.
