Another scotch-filled night last night - Andy, PaulG and I went to the Spirit of Toronto at Roy Thomson Hall.

Fortunately I found a list of the distilleries/products represented, which helps trigger my memory. :)

We started off at The Macallan stall and worked through the 10 year old, 15yo, 18yo and cask strength. I'm not sure of the exact order, because we visited some people more than once, but here's a list of (some of) what we tasted:
  • Isle of Jura Superstition
  • Isle of Jura 10 Year Old
  • Johnnie Walker Blue Label
  • Oban 14 Year Old
  • Talisker 10 Year Old
  • Yamazaki 12 Year Old
  • Yamazaki 18 Year Old
  • Yoichi 10 Year Old
We also enjoyed the food (by Daniel et Daniel, same as previous years) and chocolate paired with a variety of scotch (by A Taste For Chocolate).

A good time was had by, as always. I tried to take some photos but they didn't come out all that well - you can find some on my Flickr account.

All three previous Grands Prix at this circuit have been won from pole position, so qualifying was very important. ( My notes on the race are here )

Next race: Monte Carlo, Monaco in 2 weeks (May 22*-25).
*Remember the first practice session at Monaco is on Thursday, not Friday.

Danica Patrick was famous for not winning a single IRL race in 3 years until her recent victory at the Indy Japan 300 last month ... but yesterday she hit the headlines for running over someone in the pit lane at Indianapolis!
