Scotch Pronunciation guide

I have no idea why I have two drinking posts today. (Actually, I do. It's called procrastination)

In this one, Brian Cox pronounces pretty much every Scotch Whisky.

Really pretty pictures of scotch dregs:

VANISHING SPIRITS – THE DRIED REMAINS OF SINGLE MALT SCOTCH

The idea for this project occurred while putting a used Scotch glass into the dishwasher. I noted a film on the bottom of a glass and when I inspected closer, I noted these fine, lacey lines filling the bottom. What I found through some experimentation is that these patterns and images that you see can be created with the small amount of Single-Malt Scotch left in a glass after most of it has been consumed. The alcohol dries and leaves the sediment in various patterns. It’s a little like snowflakes in that every time the Scotch dries, the glass yields different patterns and results. I have used different color lights to add ‘life’ to the bottom of the glass, creating the illusion of landscape, terrestrial or extraterrestrial. Some of the images reference the celestial, as if the image was taken of space; something that the Hubble telescope may have taken or an image taken from space looking down on Earth. The circular image references a drinking glass, typically circular, and what the consumer might see if they were to look at the bottom of the glass after the scotch has dried. A technical note about this project. The images were titled with the specific Scotch that the rings were created with. The number is a 3 digit number that has nothing to do with the age of the scotch. Merely a number to help differentiate between images.

I'd like to say that the Lagavulin Distillers Edition that I just got is spectacular. It lives at the shop, so stop by whenever you want to have some.
