Single Malt Scotch

"E" ?

Mick - you surprise me.

The structure of the original discussion was very clear.

When I told you of my experience at the Talisker distillery, you said I was wrong, and gave your 'absolute' version.

My position was never of attacking a statement you had made, but in defending against an attack you made on my statement.

The debate reached somewhat of a crescendo when you stood up and screamed across the room :

"you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong"

... much to the amusement of the gallery.

This 'broken record' debating style seemed to leave little room for misinterpretation.


Choosing to 'recall' odd snippets of conversation from two different meetings whilst ignoring the rest is disingenuous at best.
Particularly as your 'recollection' is of the words you tried to put in my mouth, and your attempts to redefine the argument.

As others will recall, I didn't allow you to do this then, and I certainly won't now.

If you had been prepared to accept my point, (one based on personal experience), at the time, the massive thread at the other forum could surely not have taken place. You were, in effect, calling me a liar - something I clearly couldn't allow to go unchallenged.

your now saying that 1 of the 3 ways that whiskey get its colour is from the cask

Nope - I am not 'now' saying it - it was always consistent with my argument, as you are well aware.

I am still saying that I saw Talisker being distilled to a clear liquid and then diluted to cask strength using a less distilled version of itself that still has some colour from the malt and the peaty water.

Are you still shouting

"you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong"

.. to that?

If not, then fine .... but please don't try to redefine the argument again - there were plenty of witnesses to the 'shouty' bit at the start of the debate - in fact, I think most of the population of Shrewsbury heard it.

... and for the record, I am not right all the time... but it does seem that I am often right when I argue with you

I'm getting awful darn thirsty!
