??? You ok?

:(

[skitten.livejournal.com]

Sounds like something happened.... :(

[elliesam.livejournal.com]

Are you OK? Or do we just need to help you beat someone?

[pixel39.livejournal.com]

For some reason the link didn't post. Try it again. *shudder*

[envoy.livejournal.com]

*rolls his eyes*

Do me a favor and post the *whole* thing first next time, ok? some of us were legitimately worried.

[envoy.livejournal.com]

Ok, now I'm confused. I thought blended whiskeys were on principal *bad* and single-malts were *good*. This article is saying that they're not going to make the blended whisky anymore. But this is a *bad* thing? Was this an especially good blended whisky or somesuch?

Diageo, heee. I did a gig for them a long time ago.

[pixel39.livejournal.com]

Read the last paragraph very carefully. Blendeds aren't bad, really, they're just consistent, which can be boring.

Hey, anything effecting the scotch whisky market is a reason to be legitimately worried. *smile*

[belmikey.livejournal.com]

You should be legitimately worried. The loss of Cardhu single malt from the US import market is one of the biggest tragedies since the 2000 election.

[envoy.livejournal.com]

Ah. So you like the single-malt cardhu and you're probably not going to be able to get it since you live in the US. Ok.

I wonder if they'll still sell it in the UK?

[envoy.livejournal.com]

Ummm, without the link I was thinking that something had happened along the lines of you being killed in a car accident or something, but if you want to make the case that the loss of Cardhu is *more* worrying, don't let me stop you.

As long as there's good single malt available for the wake, it's all good :-D

Personally, I'm a Laphraoig fan. But then, I'm also a rodent... no accounting for tastes. Drink more single-malt islays.

[envoy.livejournal.com]

"Did I remember to decant the 18-year-old Laphraoig? N.. no. I'm a bloddy squirrel!"

[gina-gwynne.livejournal.com]

We're tough little nuts. Just make sure we have good mocha in the morning.

[phaedrus3.livejournal.com]

Now I have to find a bottle or two of this stuff before it's all gone.

I'm not sure why folks were so worried about your post, though. I've seen you in actual distress a few times, and you don't tend to be all that loud about it.

Not to diminish the significance of this, of course, since Scotch & Port are about the only things I drink these days. At least now I have some idea of what to get you for Christmas...

No.....More.....Cardhu??? No more of it's single malty goodiness.....AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! *sound of head danging on wall* We will have to have a going away party. On a side note, try Isle of Jura. The ten year is a very precosious offering, and 16 year old is better( in my opinion) than some older offerings from other label names.

[verymelm.livejournal.com]

Jura has lately been my house scotch. Has been fairly consistently since I stopped being able to regularly find Dalwhinnie. Oban is a close second, though..

On the note of a going away party, I do believe Cardhu has just become my drink of choice for Gulf Wars. Especially on St. Patty's day.. *grin*

Scary

I have no idea who you are, but if you're ever in need of an twin... Laphraoig, daily mochas, sca, a public identity as a squirrel... it could work. pixel39 must collect them. Er. Us.

On St. Padraig's Day, you should probably be drinking Tullamore Dew!

Anyway, as long as I can still hop over to Knockando and get another bottle of Cardhu's 27-year cask strength malt when the bottle I have is gone, I worry much less about broad availability of their 12-year, fine stuff though it is. (Any of you who come visit may try that and the other astonishingly good items that came back from Scotland with me.)

Meantime... I hope http://www.globalwhiskyshop.com/ can provide it. If not, they have other fun malts to try.
