Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I’m quite sure he enjoyed the drink.
So my question to the community, what’s the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?
I’m trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they’re waiting for.
To me a good Scotch Whisky is an event drink. Drink it to celebrate, drink it to mourn, share it with friends, or hoard the whole bottle to yourself, just as long as there is some some triggering event that warrants it.
