A Boy Named Glenfiddich

So that’s why I’m called Glenfiddich

A MAN named after his father’s favourite whisky has travelled 4,000 miles to see the distillery that makes it.

The American, Nicholas Glenfiddich Lahren, thought to be the only person christened Glenfiddich, made a pilgrimage to the Speyside distillery where the single malt is made.

Hmmmm… How does Sazerac Dietsch sound?

SPOON!

Why should it be that when I search for “bar spoon” on Amazon.com, I get this little bit of creepiness?

New cocktails!

I can’t reproduce the image without paying a damn expensive license fee, but Cartoonbank has a fun little mixology-related cartoon that was recently in the New Yorker. It’s worth a click. Thanks to Emdashes for the link.

(I know, I know–from a computer-nerd standpoint, I could easily reproduce it, but I don’t want lawyers after me. And is it just me, but does Tunatini sound less weird than some real drinks out there?)
