Is it worth the risk?

I'm usually not so bashful when it comes to perusing such a fine delicacy. I may observe it from afar for awhile before I decide to one day just jump right in and tear my way through it.

But this one seems different. I've been watching, waiting, for just the right moment to make my move.

It feels so wrong, it's just a normal day. Nothing special, no moment to commemorate or milestone in site.

Just me and a beautifully full 17 year old staring back at me, begging me to just rip off the wrapping and have my way with it.

I don't know why, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I want to reach out, grab the neck and just tear into it. Maybe it's because I can still see the 12 year old behind with plenty of fun left in it.

What a horrible decision to make, I think in the end I can't go wrong with either.

Any other scotch drinkers on here?

I hope your talking about wine.

Edit: Ohhhh I see what ya did there!

I always thought scotch tasted like old shoe leather.
Still tastes better than gin though.

Tonight, you will be in my prayers.

I love a good martini, not as much as scotch, but it's still good.

I make mine from an old family recipe.

You take a martini glass, fill with gin, then consume.

Do it.

Just take it neat and in a bulb glass with a narrow neck for concentrating the aroma.

I whisper the word "vermouth" over my martini's.

It makes me feel "dirty".

I leave the fridge door open when I make my martini. I like to make the vermouth watch.

Although I don't agree with your taste in 17 yr olds or 12 yr olds for that matter, I say go for it. You only live once and it would be a shame to let somebody other than yourself touch such a delicate flower ripe for the picking.

Now you lost me.

Vodka is for teenage girls and potato farmers.

I feel like you could have made the OP a little less rape-y sounding.

Just sayin'

I'm not following. Seemed pretty clear to me, maybe a bit wordy but I've been taking a creative writing class at the Y.

I couldn't come up with a good pun for Bombay Sapphire.

Sorry.

oooooOOOOOer.... that just doesn't sound right at all!

Just give me a 17 year old Tullamore DEW in a proper straight whisky glass with no ice...

Then the world is my oyster.

True story. . . as a bartender in college, I once had someone ask me to put coke into a single malt.













They never found the body.

I tend to keep to myself up in the highlands.

I've drank singles and blended scotchs with water, with ice and even in a mixer with cola.
