Tommy introduces Snoop Dogg to Uisge Beatha.

During a recent business meeting I got stranded in Detroit at the International Airport due to weather so I did what I always do and headed for the Delta Club Lounge for free booze. Low and behold Snoop Dogg and his posse had the same idea. Granted, Snoop Dogg's favorite refreshment is weed but since we were in a "No Smoking" lounge I introduced myself and offered to share a dram of my favorite refreshment, scotch whisky. To my surprise he had never heard of my Blog, Tommy Maaltman's Malt Musings but never the less said, "sho.". So I went to the bar and returned with several glasses of Chivas Regal Blended Scotch Whisky. Snoop said, " Wha dis?" I patiently explained that it was uisge beatha, aqua vitae, i.e. Scotch malt whisky from Scotland. He said, "where dat?". I said that Scotland is a country over the big pond in northern Europe. Malt he knew but nothing East of Haarlem seemed to exist in the Dogg's world. Why don't you give it a nose and take a sip? I assured him I was not making fun of his nose as he took his first sip and said, "shawizzle, dis drizzle is nizzle." For those of you who are not bilingual I fortunately speak Ebonics and will translate. He said something to the affect, dis shit is good! Yes I replied, the color is a dark gold like Snoop's oversized bling, the nose is fruity, the taste is sweet and mellow and the finish is vanilla and caramel. "Now dis I can pimp." Snoop Dogg high fived me and I slipped him my card. As he was putting my card in the front pocket of his pants located about a foot below his knees I encourage him to follow my blog and learn more about Scotch malt whisky. As we departed he said, "Aye Dee Os my brother, next time the blunts are on me." I responded, Slaintezzle my man. Slainte, Tommy Maaltman
