Is It Wrong???

[Dork Lard]

A few chums are due round 'ere shortly as it's my turn to host our weekly meeting of the Rogue's Vagabonds & Ne'er Do Weller's MCC.

Is it wrong to decant 1l of Bells whisky into an empty bottle of Laphroaig 10yr single malt?

At the beginning of the evening it is wrong and detectable deceit

Towards the end of the evening no-one would know the difference

With chums like you who needs enemies.
Deceiving chums just shows your true metal.

You noticed you weren't invited then?

I'm not sure they would know whisky enuff to be able to detect the difference, even when sober.

Should I start with a few drams of genuine Laphroaig, just to lighten the mood?

Didn’t think a man of your means would do such a thing for a saving of less than a tenner.

Have fun either way!

I used to have a boss who was Scottish. When he had a dinner party the guests would 'receive', (if they wanted it), a glass of good quality single malt straight from the bottle. In actual fact they were getting a blended whisky and never knew the difference except for a fellow magistrate who did know the difference and was given the genuine single malt. His dinner parties were always enjoyed, and well attended, because he was 'so generous with his single malts'.

Laphroaig is bloody good. I'd know it wasn't the real thing!

And I haven't had it for at least a decade!

Is that the same as mettle?

 

[Tigercubrider]

If they can’t tell the difference choose different mates.

Yes, it doesn't taste like any other whiskies; so, if you'd had it before you'd know you were being cheated.

I like a drop of Laphroaig.

I can't imagine that anyone who'd had whisky more that half a dozen times, wouldn't know the difference immediately.

Leapfrog(sp) is good for a change, we always have a bottle on, though I've not tried those posh ones.

Fave is probably an old Aberlour or Dalwhinnie cask strength- very smooth, and they come to life with a dot of soft water.

Bourbon on the rocks can be nice too, though very much not the same !

That shoite from the US - Jim Beam and Jack Daniels - tastes similar to petrol.

 

[Dork Lard]

Pointless exercise overall. 5x bottles demolished, gone forever & lost to this world.

Men don't gossip but much BS was discussed.

& 3 of 'em are still here . . . .
