Uisce beatha "Water of life" is the Gaelic pronunciation for whiskey in Irish.
Any road this morning the lads were clearing out the kitchen press/cupboard to make room to put a vent in the wall for the tumble dryer.
Look what they found:
Only a bottle of my favourite 15 year old Scottish Malt whisky: Dalwhinnie. They hid it there last Christmas and we forgot about it.
The whisky is now 16 years old.
Aren't I lucky?
Now that's real find. I love it when you find something unexpected. Enjoy and toast in the new year with it.

Cupboard treasure Briony. Hope you have a very prosperous 2024.
ReplyDeleteNice one..and coincidence that loads of cars were stuck in the snow by Dalwhinnie yesterday....
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice GZ. We once visited the Dalwhinnie whisky distillery and Culloden. I would like to visit the Highlands again some day.
DeleteOoh what a lovely surprise.
ReplyDeleteIt was JayCee. You will have to look in your wine cellar for a nice vintage tonight.
DeleteI guess your family are in the habit of hiding alcohol from you Dave. They know you very well.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice find YP. Don't be eating those wine gums they're very strong.
ReplyDeleteYou should be patriotic and stick to Irish whiskey! To me it's more palatable anyway.
DeleteIrish whiskey is not in the same league YP. Give me a Scottish Malt any time.
DeleteWhat a fortuitous find. Just the thing to toast out the old year, and see in the new one.
ReplyDeleteI will be glad to see the back of this year River. The 2000s haven't been good ones.
DeleteExactly Tigger's Mum. If we don't open the bottle sooner.
ReplyDeleteI guess you'll have finished it now.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even opened it yet Tasker.
DeletePerfect way to end this year and it's an omen for very good luck in the coming year. Enjoy your toast to the end of the old and the beginning of a new year.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is a good omen for 2024 Linda. I hope you have a prosperous year next year.
ReplyDeleteVery Lucky. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWell, by golly, luck like that needs to acknowledged with a toast.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it just Debby.
ReplyDeleteI can tell that you are not an alcoholic. Having said that, maybe you forgot about the Dalwhinnie because you were so blotto?
ReplyDeleteI think you only know that you are an alcoholic when you stop Tom. I got two bottles last Christmas and one was put away and forgotten about it.
