Over at Dent’s Glacial Erratics Single Malt Tasting is underway, via a clearly unorthodox method employed by Queer Barney.

I’m a longtime Laphroaig man (when I gots the cabbage and some quirk steers me away from the Mark), but Barney’s endorsement of the Balvenie Doublewood will certainly move me in the direction of the liquor store.

Barney has access to one of the all-time great liquor stores: Big Red Liquors, in three or more convenient locations all over Bloomington, serving first-time drunken sorority girls as well as snobbish alcohol-dependent academics for over three generations.

I see that the feature of the month is a $42.99 bottle of Glenfiddich 15 year.

Mmm, I can still smell the store today. Mmmmm.

Barney, it should be noted, is a groundhog. Is that like a woodchuck?
