I love Talisker, Dogpatch. Robert Louis Stevenson, in his poem, The Scotsman's Return From Abroad, called Talisker the "King O' Drinks". I will be having the privilege of visiting the Talisker distillery on the Isle of Skye in September.

From Seattle Weekly:
Cop Who Shot Native Woodcarver Can Expect to Skate
AAA Comments ( 0 ) By Rick Anderson Wednesday, Oct 13 2010
On Monday, King County Executive Dow Constantine ordered an inquest into the August 30 shooting of Seattle woodcarver John T. Williams by a Seattle police officer. Officer Ian Birk says Williams came at him with a knife and refused his commands, forcing him to fire. Even though Williams was hard of hearing, was shot in the side, and may not have realized he was bringing his carving knife to a gun fight, Birk is certain to testify he felt his life was in peril by a man with a weapon. Under the county inquest system, that has historically swayed jurors to almost always find cop shootings justified.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How was the officer supposed to know that Williams was hard of hearing? Williams CAME AT the officer WITH A WEAPON and refused to drop it after three clear warnings. I'm not trying to say that the incident wasn't tragic, but clearly, justified. Seattle is a violent city. I live here. I know. I'm sure most police officers are on edge, on high alert. It's got to be a tough job.
It's illegal to walk the street brandishing a weapon. Period.

Were you a JW trophy wife? Not necessarily a serious thread.
by FlyingHighNow insal, it's funny but things were much more shallow in the dubs.
i noticed some of the ugliest blokes getting pretty little trophy wives so long as they had a job or were the sons of elders.
my dad (an elder) even went so far as to encourage me to come back to the dubs because i would easily pull a good looking wife .

Who On This Site Would You Like To Meet?
by minimus inthere are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".
and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.
simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.

How do you know he was shot in the back? If you approach a police officer brandishing a knife, expect to collect some lead.

Tough question, OTR. Alcohol, in and of itself, is a complex sugar. But as far as individual whiskey types go, I would have to say that American whiskeys (bourbon & Tennessee) would likely have the most sugar content. A federal law that governs American whiskey production is that it must be aged in brand-new, American white oak casks.White oak is quite high in sugar content (much like maple). These casks are charred prior to being filled with raw whiskey. This charring process carmelizes the sugars in the wood. The whiskey pulls the sugar out of the wood as it ages. Tennessee whiskey (Jack Daniel's/George Dickel) goes even a step further and filters the spirit thru sugar maple charcoal before going into the barrel. This carmelized maple sugar adds even more sugar to the whiskey.
I would recommend sticking with Scotch & Irish whisk(e)y. MOST Scotch & Irish are aged in ex-bourbon casks. These ex-American barrels have had most, if not all of their sugar content leeched out by their first fill of bourbon or TN whiskey.
Fermentation itself converts grain sugar to alcohol, so the raw sugars are changed. But, I'm no doctor.

After my second Johnnie Walker Black this evening, I am inclined to declare it my favorite whisky, overall. I am always asked what my favorite whiskey is, and my answer hs always been "different whiskeys for different days", but, if I have to pick one, I think this would be it. So deep. So complex. So delicious. A true work of art.
Here's a great video on the history of the Johnnie Walker brand:
