Another unwanted bottle of Laphroig languishes in Portland. I like Scotch, but
not the ultra peaty variety. Isley, yes. Chivas blend, absolutely. Afraid you
describe it too well. I missed the diesel oil note. Spot on.

With apologies to Kant who claimed in the Third Critique that aesthetic
judgements are also universalizable (sort'a).
Don't know if Kant drank scotch at all them soirees at the mayor's house,
accompanied by the baker's daughter, his heart-throb.

Somebody gifts you a bottle of Laphroiag in appreciation of your beneficent
efforts? What would they have given you had you caused them hurt or harm?
But then, they may love the smell of diesel oil, old bandaids, rotting
seaweed, (all official notes in the Michael Jackson Bible - not THAT
Michael Jackson) and the taste of OMSW* chicken wings.
Pumpy. Alas, it didn’t get a mention, honorable or no.
And yes, I like peaty whiskies with weird smells. Ancestors from the
Western Isles may be partly to blame.
I shall enjoy the Wodehouse reading.
