What does the fine print say?
We talked about it but then got distracted by chocolate at the Godiva store.
You can be armed with chocolate, yes the case is included. :lol:

Dammit, you would have to go and mention Glenfiddich. Now I'm all thirsty. Fortunately, its legal to OC in ABC stores.
(Thanks for the info on Glenlivet.)
I was about to go do some open carrying, but now ya got me riled. The above quoted heresy must be addressed!
Average the bad and the good in order to wind up with adequate!?!?! The bad!?! Adequate!?!
Oh, my.
For all readers, even single-malt whiskeys are blended from multiple barrels. Yep. The distinction is whether a bottler blends whiskeys from multiple distilleries, or whether he blends only the stuff he himself produces. A single-malt scotch means all the scotch in the bottle came from the same distillery, even though the bottle contains whiskeys from multiple barrels from that distillery blended together. A blend scotch means the scotch in the bottle came from multiple barrels from more than one distillery. The only scotch that would be unblended at all is called single cask.
Now, there is a reason all this blending is going on. It is definitely not because they are blending bad and good to achieve adequate. It is because they are aiming for some uniformity of flavor. A number of things affect the taste of a whiskey. For example, what went into it (barley, corn, rye), what the storage barrel held previously (American bourbon, spanish wine), etc. So, every barrel of whiskey tastes different. And, they reach maturity at different rates. There are people whose sole function is to sample the whiskey from multiple barrels and write the bottling instructions for which barrels are to be combined for a bottling run in order to come reasonably close to that product line's core flavor profile.
Otherwise, you could buy three bottles of any one brand of whiskey bottled across a month, and all three would taste dramatically different.
So, even the single-malt scotches are blended. They're just blended from all in-house barrels. Whereas, brands that are blends, for example, Johnny Walker, Chivas Regal, Glenlivet, are blended from barrels supplied to them by multiple distilleries.
Ed's country no less!
Looks like a temporary sign put up in haste. Any background on the reason, Ed? Or have guns always been banned at the fair?
And, since it's the end of a hard week and I don't have to leave the house again tonight, I'm about to settle in with some Elijah Craig 18 Y.O. Single Barrel. Ah.I'll gladly take a Kentucky Bourbon over Scotch any day

I'm a Bourbon guy, but I wouldn't turn down a nice Glenwhatever.
Open carried for the first while interacting with someone (as opposed to pumping gas or at the range) at a small Dunkin' Donuts in Fairfax off 29. I was clearly more nervous than the cashier. Only unusual thing was that when time came to give me my change she typed some keystrokes in the register then said she would have to wait until the manager came to give me my change....I said "Okay" and waited...Then she paid me my change from the tip jar (no receipt).
Maybe my paranoia but just wondering if she didn't open the register for fear that I was going to rob her? Hopefully that was just my imagination working overtime.
A fun-filled day for me. Helped out at Steeler-gal's Basic Pistol class this morning, followed by taking 7 of my fellow DAR members to the range to shoot - several for the first time. A good time was had by all.
And just to torture Citizen, range time was followed by dinner at Anita's. I'd never eaten there before, and it was excellent. And yes, I was OC - sitting strong side at the door (so everyone who entered got a look). No issues or comments.
I hadn't, but I sent off a private message to the author of that post (Henrico's a bit far for me, but I know someone who might fit the bill).might be of interest?

O/T Does anyone have any opinion on the Henry lever action .22 youth rifle as a gift for an 8 year old?
