B.O.W.W.O.W.

Beer of the Week:

"Blackfriar" scotch ale from Inveralmond brewery - at 7.0% ABV - is a smooth, malty ale (though surprisingly light on body and mouthfeel) with roasted, chocolate, and caramel notes balanced with a dried apple and raisin fruitiness. And hoppy for a scotch ale.

Whisky of the Week:

"Singleton" 12-year from Dufftown distillery (Speyside) had decent malt and spice up front, warm and chewy with some smokiness, finishing bitterly and somewhat abruptly with a harsh burn for a whisky at 40% ABV. Imbibed at our local whisky pub, "Uisge Beatha" (ISH ke bah), along with the folk songs of local singers and musicians.
