Really Bad Boat Ads

[Gene S]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love reading the ads that list the 4 cockpit wenches. Boy oh boy.

Here is a winner

Where's the boat?

 

[rgranger]

Uhg... I think that is dirty laundry under the V-berth

Well I got board today and went nosing around eBay

Saw this really bad boat ad photo

Hahaha... so the cute little shelf all made up home-like.... And what happens to all of your sh&% when you start heeling ... hey but it looks nice. At least they took the time to stage the photos.

Good time spent if you're bored @rgranger. That boat reminds me of the inside of my 1970 chevy conversion van...aka Shaggin' Wagon.

It definitely has a "dude" vibe.

Some dude was selling this thing on CL. No interest at all in the boat, but I like his style.

What boat??

Empty Scotch bottle! Oh the horrors! Flag it as inappropriate!

That scotch is a horror. Give me Oban or a Glenmorange any day not that swill. Almost rather have boons farm wine

Is that (er, those) appliance self righting?

 

[rgranger]

Some light reading to fill your head while you fill the head..... I like it! I'll have to remember that trick next time I sell a boat.

JWR swill??!!! I think not. It's key componet is Cordhu - another, well regarded, single malt from the Speyside area. For half the price of the Cordhu you get a single malt quality whisky. If I'm paying (Too much) for single malts make mine Lagavulin 12 year old. Never had the 16. I'm guessing I'd like it.

Lagavulin

Mmmm, Lagavulin.

You'd be wrong. You'd LOVE it. But don't tell anyone, we don't want a Scotch bubble like bourbon has been having for the past 5 years.

 

[rgranger]

Bourbon..... blah

Even bad Scotch is better than any bourbon YMMV

No, bourbon is good whiskey. They've been making whiskey in the US almost as long as in Scotland. Their different but both good. Malt whisky made in Scotland uses the ingredients available there (Barley), and the water available there, and the techniques of distilling and aging available there. In the US, it's analogous. The ingredients are local (Corn), the water is local, the wood for barrels is local, the distilling is local and, most importantly, the climate for aging is local. They make different whiskies, but both are crafted. In Scotland, aging barrels are re-purposed American bourbon barrels, or Portuguese Port Barrels, or Sherry barrels and the climate for aging is pretty steady. For Bourbon, the barrels, by law, have to be un-used oak. They are charcoaled, and the aging occurs in Rickhouses which see temperature variations from 100 degrees to below freezing. What I'm saying is that each are crafted from the materials at hand, with traditional or new techniques, in different climates, and are deserving of respectful tasting - just like a wine or craft beer.
But it's absolutely true that the Bourbon Bubble in prices has gotten out of hand, and other spirits like rum and tequila are following suit.

Scotch has many fewer of the aldehydes and ketones that give bourbon its fruity taste..... unfortunately those same compounds add to the hang over the next day.... if I drink bourbon it has to be a small amount or my stomach does not feel right the next day... but if I want a warm buzz... I drink scotch... and the morrow is just as it should be

I love how this thread went from bad boat adds to Scotch tasting. I tried Glenmorangie for the first time at a Robbie Burns supper this past January and I'm hooked. I like Lauphraig but for a smoother, more subtle taste I like the Glenmorangie. They both pale in comparison with Johnnie Walker Blue but that is out of my every day price range.
