Warm response from a dedicated whisky man

I am a whisky man. For the past several years, I have been drinking at least two glasses of Johnnie Walker Black Label - with ice and water - every day.

Whisky is a liquor one can drink alone, in one's home or at a counter in a bar. It doesn't need company, although it can serve as an effective social lubricant at gatherings like any other spirit.

I have been pretty much a recluse since I turned the big 6-O. I don't go to the cinemas or to pubs and clubs. I watch movies on DVDs at home, and I read. And there's always time set aside for the slow enjoyment of whisky - in the mid-afternoon or in the evening just before dinner. It often takes me about half an hour to finish two glasses. One ruminates while one drinks.
