Tommy, memories, writing, and whisky.

Hi Dave, I just poured three fingers of 3.148, sat down by a fire (it's 10 degrees here) and thoroughly enjoyed the Greece travelogue. Thanks so much for taking the time to put pen to paper and creating a lasting story of our wonderful trip. I really enjoyed reliving our experience. It is quite remarkable what we have done over the last decade. The 3.148 whisky, an Islay, had a nose of damp ashes. The taste was tarry with hints of ammonia and the scent of granny's armpit. I really appreciate what you are doing and plan on binding the finished product for my home tasting room table. Do you find like me that some of your best writing occurs while sipping whisky? Thanks again. Slainte, Tommy Maaltman

Tommy goes west to the Tetons to taste whisky in a rarefied atmosphere.

Dave, I will be tasting numerous expressions of single malt whisky in Jackson Hole, Wyoming beginning January 16-23, 2010 at the Moose Trail Lodge. I have plenty of room and you and any other of the Californians are more that welcome to join me. The Lodge sleeps 18 and so far I am the only one going. I realize it's early for planning. Slainte, Tommy Maaltman
