Subject: QOTD for Monday, November 15, 2021

The following quote is from A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 15, “Stakit to Droon.” Copyright © 2005 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘How is it, then, a charaid?’ Duncan greeted him genially, gesturing toward one of the basketwork chairs. ‘Ye’ll take a dram, perhaps?’
‘I will, and thanks.’
He sank gratefully into the chair, which creaked amiably beneath his weight. He accepted the glass Duncan handed him, and tossed it back with a brief ‘Slàinte.’
The whisky burned through the strictures that bound his throat, making him cough, but seeming suddenly to open things, so that the constant faint sense of choking began to leave him. He sipped, grateful.”

[> Whisky as medicine. All through time. But what also struck me is that Roger is in the company of men that like and accept him. There’s the thing going around about men not having friends (snl was so funny) and I think Roger can relax around them more than Bri right now. -- Kathy in PA, Mon, November 15 2021, 3:13:32

[> I think the coughing helped as much as the whisky after the first gulp - tossing it back is disrespectful of a good one. I'm finding quite a few that are just right for sipping late in the evening while listening to a book. Not fond of the really peaty, smoky varieties - they remind me of Chloraseptic throat spray. -- kgp, Mon, November 15 2021, 4:18:16

[> [> [> I don't like tthe really peaty/smokey Scotchs, either. Love a Speyside single malt...was at Abelourd Distillery when I visited Scotland with my mother. We were there on a Sunday, and couldn't buy Scotch, but could taste it. I got mine, my mother's, and several from the other ladies on the tour. I may or may not remember the rest of the day....... -- Janet, Mon, November 15 2021, 10:36:09
