Whisky and green tea

I read about a new drink which is popular in Asia called whisky and green tea. It is described as taking the harshness out of the scotch. Well I wasn’t really sold on the idea until the weekend of Tyler’s farewell, when I was talking with Jeff about it. He thought the flavours of the tea would add to the complexity of the scotch making it surreal drinking experience. Now after some advertising like that I was a fool not to try.

I had organised some different types of green tea and a bottle of Glen Fiddich. I was really excited after the discussion with Jeff and a little sad that he was not here to enjoy it. The night before Hendrik had told us he had never had Glen Fiddich before and we thought we might as well let him have some on his last day in LX. After the unknown farewell party, Eric and I headed back to the ER to try the drinks.

After what seemed a long time to we were able to dispense with the photographing ceremony and proceed to open the bottle. The first drink we had was with the traditional Japanese green tea. Eric searched the web to see if there was a special way to do this yet we came back empty handed.





So we just mixed them as you would any drink with whisky and proceeded to drink it. The taste was all green tea. It overpowered any of the delicateness the scotch had. We both decided that the next one had to be different.

The next one was the honey green tea. Now I thought this would compliment the scotch due to a drink known as Drambuie, a scotch liqueur. So this time we measure a lot less tea with the scotch and proceeded to taste. This was about equal parts and it still just tasted like tea. I was disappointed and wondered why does anyone want to do this to scotch, especially one like this.

Eric and I had one last chance, tonic. Of the drinks so far this was the best one. It had a citrus taste which was not so dominant. If there was one thing I learnt that night, is the best way to drink Glen Fiddich is on the rocks. Oh yes there was some left when Hendrik arrived back as well.

Most of us could never imagine having one like we see on different television programs.
As long as the mobile device has the viable screen that
can display TV channels it will be possible to watch television on a phone
in any country. While this program requires a Windows Operating System to function, it is easily runs on a Mac (or Linux) computer via
virtualization software.

Though the PS2 version has some bonus features, there’s nothing to
celebrate because the gameplay has nothing new except a very easy combat system
and some new modes. Sure, maybe you haven’t even been to a bowling alley since that PE
field trip in junior high, but it’s like riding a bike.
