What's a Celt doing in OZ?

I thought the dialects were diametrically opposed? Tongue

..just polished off a 30 year old Highland Park last night - found it 10 years ago in a very old and musty small shop in Kirkwall, Orkney (amongst other very enticing bottles) during a business trip..... sad to see the last drip go.... spose I could decant some BLACK famous grouse back into the bottle & look big when I dish out to my dinner-party guests! ..or is that dishonest?

Depends how you look at it.  Many might consider this dishonest, rude, and indeed a sign that you are, shall we say, overly cautious when spending money.  The alternative view is that this would be a highly informative experiment in human expectation bias.  Science!  So there you have it, a handy excuse.

Any Laphroaig lovers out there?
10yr, quarter cask, cask strength?
All perfect to relax my neck enough for a long headbanging session with some Meshuggah!

I think devialet's new WAM technology (Whisky Accentuated Music) could be a big hit from what I've been reading here.

 I have a Celt sitting next to me here in the shack at work and he's had a look at the photo. He reckons they're all very expensive and very good whiskeys. Well, I think that's what he said. Who F-ing knows  Tongue

Are we talking about a new product launch ? Try GlenVialet with its brand new Water Acceptance Factor : a stream of new sensations that can drop anytime  Angry (I am really sorry for that one).

I think we are on to something here!

Challenge:

Whoever comes up with the best new Marketing strap-line that they think Devialet would use to promote this New WAM Technology, gets a good swig of Celts88 'Glen Grant 1964' ! since Celts88 is contributing the prize, he gets to choose the winner!

Up for it?

Cmon...

' No boards to have fitted, no setup needed, (pillows recommended though).....You too can float away on the fluffy clouds of our new WAM technology, where nothing matters... but the music'

right.. there's my admittedly sad contribution for starters.... now where's that bottle of 1997 Glen Ord (my fav tipple)?

"Hand of God"... 30 Years later we are still talking about it. And the guy who made it possible (the ref) gets no mention, while the guy who executed it has basically one or two brain cells still working.

Then again, the second goal was worth two... :-D

I'm happy you tried the combo, thanks for the kind words on it! Cheers!
