Walter, I'd assumed, clearly in error, that your post was written during a
time of inebriation due to excessive whisky consumption. I dribble sometimes
too. No offence was intended - you'd certainly know if that was the case -
but if the characterisation was received as a slur then I apologise and will
go back to sleep for a few weeks.

Quoting Simon Ward <sedward@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Walter dribbled:
I'm not clear on the grounds of this characterization of my text. Perhaps

wishes to clarify his meaning here.

"On a tangential note (ouch), I am intrigued by the
question of how Oregonians go about "preparing" for the Tasting. Does it
involve particular techniques and exercises preparing the tongue, nose
and
palate for maximal identification of whiskey qualia? Deep breathing
exercises?"
Whiskey drinkers I've known - including myself - would tell you that
'tasting' lasts for just half an hour at most. Preparations for the time
after that include waterproof trousers, a pub close enough to crawl back
from and a very good excuse.
