Scotch & Luxury!

“Luxury is attention to detail, originality, exclusivity and above all quality.”
                                                                                     -Angelo Bonati

Luxury is about enjoying finest things life has to offer. Experiences so rare that only a few selected ones can get the opportunity to enjoy them. Not only enjoying such an experience is rarity, even creating one is a work of rare craftsmanship.

One such experience is that of Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve. Some of the finest aged malt and grain whiskies are meticulously selected and nurtured to age slowly in Bourbon casks in the conducive climes of Scotland. A blend is then crafted from these finest selections to create that perfect work of art.

What makes an art a rare one is the test of time. That’s where the Triple Gold Reserve is a rare art in itself. After the finest whiskies are blended together, they are matured and married in Oloroso Sherry Butt, the most sought after casks for maturation world over. It is hence, after this unique triple maturation process, a scotch so refined comes to you. Its when you experience the complexity of its flavors and depth of its characteristics, that you realize the true worth of this luxurious masterpiece.

Best reading companion Scotch! - Part 2

Sitting in my sofa, chair with Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve Scotch poured in glass I get a hold of a book “All Our Yesterdays” by Cristin Terrill highly recommended by friend.

The Book is about, Em and Finn have run out of all possible options when it comes to destroying a time machine that they know has made the world a dark and dismal place. All Our Yesterdays alternates between past and present as the two converge together to bring truths (the painful and the triumphant) to love, friendship, and the future of the world.

In order to prepare yourself for reading All Our Yesterdays, I suggest you 1) have a book buddy on hand who has read it before you (Sasha from Sash and Em was mine) because you are going to have a lot to WTF about and 2) an undisclosed amount of time (even if it is on a street corner near your grocery store) to read this book as close to straight through as you can.

There are very few things I can say here without revealing too much of the brilliant plot secrets contained within this book. What I will tell you is this: there is a Dawson/Joey/Pacey vibe rooted in this story, it’s okay to reread paragraphs until you understand the smallest of details because Terrill has intricately (and painstakingly) made her story feel so real even down to the most scientific explanations, and third of all: your brain might explode a little bit because the emotional and physical impact of reading as two time periods are lined up and brought head-to-head? Hard to fathom.

Time is a funny thing. There are some of us that are so accepting of its whims, but there are others who are obsessed with the past. “If I could change one little thing, that tiny tiny thing, everything would be alright.” You’ve heard it before. I read about it previously in the fantastic 11/22/63 by Stephen King this year. Even though King’s book and Terrill’s are totally different, the sentiment felt similar to me and just as scary and just as heartbreaking. Because changing even one little thing, even if it makes it better for you, affects countless more than you can even imagine. So think about a machine that was created from the best intentions to change the world for the better and all of it just blowing up in your face; how a beautiful person can turn so ugly because of power and those good intentions.

Terrill has done an amazing job of telling such an epic story. All Our Yesterdays started a little slow for me and I wished there was more dialogue throughout the novel, but otherwise, it is completely addicting and so well plotted, that I’m anxious to reread it from the beginning and discover those details I may have missed the first time around. So even though science fiction isn’t a genre I frequent a lot, I know a good story is what is important when reading and THIS is a good story from all angles: the intrigue, the suspense, the romance, and the enormity of having the future of the world on your shoulders (whew, it makes me feel tense all over again just thinking about it).

Best reading companion Scotch! - Part 1

Books have always been part of my life from my childhood till date, recently I have become addict reading always go to the library grab a interesting book and start reading, recently my friends have been giving me books to read at home and told books best read with a compliment of Scotch, that is an interesting combination, apparently the imagination factor goes many fold when reading and drinking.

Thus I was in the market in search of best Scotch in the Market that could help me in this new experience of reading books, enter a supermarket with line of Scotch Bottles in a row which really makes it difficult to choose.

Post spending good 30-40mins and numerous questions asked to the store manager and couple of stares from Uncle’s and Auntie’s in the supermarket I finally close on Premium Scotch name Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve from the House of Black Dog India’s best Scotch Whisky provider.

Why have I chosen this you would say?

Well first of all the packaging, one of the best packaged Scotch’s in the shelf, the Golden Box glowing in the slightly dim lit showcase with the logo Black Dog – Triple Gold Reserve standing out in the box.

Then the Bottle, typical Black Dog Scotch bottle with mild wood with hint of rose color floating around, now imagine the same in a glass with 2 cubes of ice…..

Then the manager who seems to be quite educated in Scotch explains some things about the Scotch which just made my decision to buy BD – Triple Gold Reserve very easy, he told the blend is made in Scotland under close supervision of Sir Richard Paterson. The Scotch is goes through triple maturation process, that is Single mal, Matured Grain Whisky and the final maturation is done in Oloroso sherry cask this lends maturing spirit a heavier body and a deep amber color and flavour and delicate finish…. Now that is a very surprising description by a manager about Scotch!

Well with all this new found knowledge of I go back to reading my book and I truly thank my friend who recommend me to have Scotch while reading books it really does help in increasing the imagination factor!

Scotch and Kilt Connect!

The kilt is a knee-length garment with pleats at the rear, originating in the traditional dress of men and boys in the Scottish Highlands of the 16th century. Since the 19th century it has become associated with the wider culture of Scotland in general, or with Celtic (and more specifically Gaelic) heritage even more broadly. It is most often made of woollen cloth in a tartan pattern.

Although the kilt is most often worn on formal occasions and at Highland games and sports events, it has also been adapted as an item of fashionable informal male clothing in recent years, returning to its roots as an everyday garment.

The kilt first appeared as the great kilt, the breacan or belted plaid, during the 16th century, and is Gaelic in origin. The filleadh mhòr or great kilt was a full-length garment whose upper half could be worn as a cloak draped over the shoulder, or brought up over the head. The filleadh bheag or philibeg or small kilt, also known as the walking kilt (similar to the modern kilt) was invented by an English Quaker from Lancashire named Thomas Rawlinson sometime in the 1720s for the use of the Highlanders that he and Iain MacDonnell, chief of the MacDonnells of Inverness, employed in logging, charcoal manufacture and iron smelting, for which the belted plaid was "cumbrous and unwieldy".

Kilt is very strongly embedded in Scottish culture, Scottish men wear their Kilt and come to blend one of the best Scotch in the world Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve, it is made from carefully guarded secret which is revealed only skin deep. The Scotch is goes through triple maturation process, that is Single mal, Matured Grain Whisky and the final maturation is done in Oloroso sherry cask this lends maturing spirit a heavier body and a deep amber color and flavour and delicate finish., all this under a close supervision of Master Blender Richard Paterson.

As the famous quote for happniess from Scotland says "Secrit ay happiness is scotch in a body hain an' lecht in anither!"

Enjoy!
