Lew Bryson: Tasting whiskey (2014) 4 stars

“There’s another feeling I get when I’m in the presence of an ancient and rare Scotch whisky. It’s awe, and something close to reverence. As long ago as 200 years, an acorn took root, grew into an oak, and was cut, seasoned, sawn into billets and staves, and shaped into a barrel. Bourbon or sherry was aged in the barrel, for however long, after which the barrel was shipped to Scotland, reassembled, and filled with new whisky. After at least 10 years, the barrel was emptied again, and more new whisky was put into it, somewhere around the year I was born. Then here I am, say 40-odd years old, and I’m handed a glass of it, drawn from the cask. My grandfather hadn’t yet been born when the whole process started. And it tastes marvelous.”
