Spirited Research

There is no bad whiskey. There are only some whiskeys that aren’t as good as others.

Raymond Chandler, British-American novelist and screenwriter (1888-1959)

One benefit of the new job is an on-site cafe/bar hosting a broad selection of whiskeys. I have set a goal to work through the list sequentially to assess my favourite. I sampled the 12-year old Glendronach tonight and then spied a similarly named bottle on the shelf. Searching the menu, I did not find the "peated" Glendronach listed, suggesting that there may be several more additions to my research. While I'm not fond of peaty whiskeys, it was good for a peated varietal, substantiating Raymond Chandler's thesis that there isn't a bad whiskey.
