Additional Information edit
My first experience with scotch was not a very pleasant one. An uncle of mine was an avid blended scotch drinker and insisted that I become one too. As an 18 year old, rum and coke was my beverage of choice; scotch was just not my thing. In every respect, I was a lightweight drinker. His last ploy was to suggest diet grape soda as a mixer. As I recall, it took quite a while to recover from this introduction to the world of scotch. Fortunately, some memories fade quickly.
Some time later, my career landed me in Boston and I was able to rediscover this magic elixir. It was custom and tradition at one particular institution of higher learning to end the workweek in the Provost's office around 4:00 PM. “Happy hour” went till 6:00 PM. Scotch was the only beverage served. It was not of the highest quality but it served its purpose. Thank goodness for higher education and New England winters.
But I was forever a Virginian and had the good fortune to return. Don Creamer and I became colleagues in the mid 1980s and we have been close friends ever since. As part of our work together, we had the opportunity to visit Oxford and London some six or seven years ago. While we very much enjoyed visiting the historic pubs and sampling ales of all variety, I was immediately drawn to the single malt, for it has always been the “water of life.” Indeed, before Don and I knew it, we were cataloguing our tasting notes and tracking our preferences. Our new hobby was rapidly approaching a passion.
Our first tasting notes were produced in hard copy but it became a tedious process that was difficult to share with our friends and colleagues. In 2001, we decided to produce and electronic version of our notes as Steve and Don's Single Malt Scotch Journal. We are now well beyond some 300 web pages and it has become a real labor of love. Thanks to my son, David, we have transformed a rather simple web presence into something much more comprehensive and dynamic. We hope our efforts will inspire you to begin your own quest to find the perfect single malt. If you visit this web site often, you can learn and grow right along with us.
