I was more worried that she would break into my liquor cabinet and drink my Port Dundas! <br> <br> Where some women hide hand bags and shoes from their husbands, I hide bottles of wine and Whisky!&nbsp; Port Dundas is very special.&nbsp; It is a grain whisky, most are made of barley.&nbsp; AND the best part is it is aged in a sherry cask, most are just an used wine barrel.&nbsp; The price difference of purchasing a barrel to age the whisky in is about £300.&nbsp;A sherry aged cask makes the whisky sweeter. <span>&nbsp;</span>For some reason this did not convince my husband the bottle was worth the £77 price tag.<span>&nbsp; </span>However, one sip and his soul was warmed and filled with the sweet essence of caramel, butterscotch and oak.<span>&nbsp; </span>He still thinks I am crazy, but then again, I think it’s crazy to spend £1000 on a handbag... I think my priorities are in line. Anyone want to disagree, feel free to reply to this blog.<span>&nbsp; </span>In fact I encourage you to add as many comments as you like to the blogs and tweets, as it feels more like a two way conversation and I want to know more about you too!</p> <p>Speaking of souls, has anyone seen the movie Cold Souls?<span>&nbsp; </span>It’s about trading your soul for another.<span>&nbsp; </span>Do you think my Port Dundas has a soul?<span>&nbsp; </span></p> <p>Well it’s a bit naughty but I had to pour myself a little taste, but it is Christmas this week (and Santa knows how nice I’ve been this year).</p> <p>It would be lovely for you to be sitting with me savouring this winter soul warmer, but instead I will raise my glass and wish you a happy Christmas and may 2010 be the year which all your dreams come true!<span>&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp;</span>(cheesy but I’m American, which is not an excuse, just an explanation)</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Kelly</p><br> http://www.tastour.co.uk/blog?mode=PostView&bmi=260137 http://www.tastour.co.uk/blog?mode=PostView&bmi=260137 Kelly
