@d1 I think so, and I've never even gone to a peat meeting before

If you like it, try Lagavulin, or for milder experience - Caol Ila

@ey2 For the first glass, I put in an ice cube and let 1/2 the cube melt. I assume that's a similar approach

It's at room temp so cooling it with ice

Has anyone taken part of the education reimbursement program?
