The Rolls
Our writings, kept as written, the scribe having been neither sober nor sorry.
As gleaned from the BBC News: JimMurray, in his 2008 edition of his best-selling Whisky Bible, has awarded the Ardbeg 10 year the coveted top title of “World Whisky of the Year”. As the BBC News reports: <Murray> said in his guide: “To me Ardbeg is – and always has been – the most complex…
A close friend recently asked if I had any good quotes surrounding Scotch Whisky which he may use on a sign at an open Scotch bar for another friend’s funeral. I so quickly took stock and realized that, oddly enough I really hadn’t any which I could provide easily. Of course, being the connected…
It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows a 3 Drunken Celt, that John Glaser is considered a friend of the group. Raz, Fergus, and Seamus all met John for the first time at the Whiskies of the World in 2006, where he had presented a tasting class surrounding his blends. The next…
I knew there was a reason I was drawn to the Pacific North West. In the latest issue of Food & Wine magazine, I ran across an article highlighting “America’s Best New Whiskeys” which, to my surprise, focused entirely on four Portland area distilleries. The full article can be found here: Food & Wine America’s…
After a series of unfortunate events resulting in loss of some configurations and some regressions in features, we have redesigned the www.3DrunkenCelts.com website to provide an easier, more user-friendly approach to the 3DC. We are very excited about this new iteration of the 3DC website and hope this redesign will inspire increased usage and contribution…
I received my bottle of Lucid via UPS on Monday afternoon… After waiting for Jean to get home, we worked our way into the kitchen and began the “ritual” of la louche’. Not having ANY of the absinthe specific tools, we had to improvise as best we could. We found two wine glasses which would…
Greetings all, Well I know it’s many months away, but Jason, Adrian, and I would like to extend an early invitation to you all. We would like to have some of your company for our now yearly San Francisco trip to Whiskies of the World Expo (http://www.celticmalts.com/events.asp?page=2) this upcoming year. It will be held March…
Dead, mostly… Here’s the skinny. Due to Great Western War 2006 being canceled and 2007 being moved to Bakersfield (something we are none to pleased with ) we are not offering an official tasting at GWW, preferring moving the event to Estrella this year to serve the greater population. We don’t expect a large turn…
Hear ye, hear ye! It is upon supreme declaration, constant questioning, and unanimous decision (highly rare for this group of misfit toys) that the 3 Drunken Celts do present the “officially” official Requirements for membership. The following is to be used by all 3DC members during any induction. This way neither Raz, Fergus, nor Seamus…
Well, another fine 3DC trip. It’s a shame no other 3DC could join us but I under stand. Here is my hazy recollection as since I was burdened with an abundance of sobriety (for one of our trips anyway) thus my memory is a bit suspect this time around.Day one; Seamus and I wake at…
