Did a Scotch tasting at Doug's. Doug, his neighbor John, Doug's cousin Jordan, Brook, and Brook's friend Leon.
Leon and Jordan were newbies, and Jordan had trouble with the amount of hard liquor.
We had Glenlivet Nadurra (me), Balvenie Doublewood (Leon), Macallan 12 (Jordan), Macallan Cask Strength (John), Cardhu 12 yr (Doug), Scapa 14 yr (Brook) and Laphroaig Cairdeas, Ileach Edition (Brook). Brook brought the limited edition Laphroiag and also the Scapa, since we already had five Speysides. I usually like a sweet Speyside whisky, when it stands out because it's the only one, but this time, the Laphroaig stood out.
Doug was a friend of mine, and Brook was a coworker of Cyn's, but it turned out they knew some people in common (we learned last year that Brook knew the guy who married Doug's brother's wife's sister). Brook had a similar one degree of separation with John, since I-forget-who grew up in the same area of the south side.
