Part of our Scottish distillery trade team, this was provided by Ryan. I was so looking forward to this. It's like back in high school. Graduation day. You go to the podium, give the valedictorian speech, collect your awards in math and science. And then then comes the real fun, you've been looking forward to the night post ceremonies. You go out with all your friends , pocket full of singles, to your first strip club. EXCEPT...you're only 17, and your friends are all 18!!!! And you don't have a fake license. (sure...get a scholarship to University of Michigan, but can't get a fake license). And oh..thanks mom and dad for making me skip that extra grade in grammar school...now I'm stuck in Joe's Diner having coffee and pound cake, while my friends are inside the strip club. Yes. That's what this felt like. Was looking forward to my first Tomintoul, especially with a name like Peaty Tang. But, instead it's more like a watered down Lagavulin or Ardbeg. Save yourself the money, and instead pour a dram of Ardbeg, and top it with three drams of water. Voila, there's your Peaty Tang. What's the lesson learned in all this? DON'T MAKE YOUR KIDS SKIP A GRADE.

Pranay, your background is the opposite of mine. When I was 5 my elementary school interviewed me to see if I could start school at an early age. When I got home my mother inquired about their questions, so I responded with, "They asked stupid stuff like, ""What color is an orange?"" She then asked, "Well, what was your answer?" and I replied with, "Yellow, of course!" Needless to say, I didn't get in. True story, according to my mother. :)
Pranay, I do recall that you enjoyed the 16 year, which is rather decent.
He lost me when he started talking about valedictorian speeches and college scholarships, lol. I remember my old man saying something like “get a job and start thinking about getting out of my house”. 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃
See... who ever said whisky isn't therapeutic? 😊
Well Pranay, I think we made some excellent progress today. I'd like you to take some time and reflect on what was said in today's therapy session. I think we are getting to the route of your animosity towards your parents.
