I’ve tried Longrow, I’ve really tried. But I’m afraid this relationship isn’t working. We should be very compatible. I like Springbank. I like peat. And yet, there’s something about the way you combine the two that colors me ambivalent. Maybe it’s because I like my smoke meaty, and you’re often on the sweet side. Or maybe it’s that yeasty mid-palette flavor that leaves me cold. Don’t get me wrong, you’re good for a one-night stand: that yeast is redeemed with a dash of cream and your soy sauce and mint chocolate notes are welcome in my mouth. But I don’t see us moving in together, no matter your age. Anyway, I’m in love with the girl next door — Kilkerran. Sorry.

@LeeEvolved : those are the best types 😊
She's a fiery lassie, that's for sure. No smoke without fire.
Richard, you better hope this girl isn’t a Stage 5 Clinger. I’m certain she has a particular set of skills that make her a nightmare for people that don’t like her. It’s probably better if you tell her she’s wonderful and be done with it. Otherwise, she will look for you. She will FIND you...and she will kill you.
Nice little storytelling!
