I owe you a pocket square. I was confused because it had Single Malt all over it but a reading of the fine print revealed otherwise. <br /><br />I wish Cecil would do a sample of each belt's design with each option of surcingle base. If I had the dough I'd do it. I could see some of the combinations, (the Wallace and turquoise) being either brilliant or train wrecks. Purple base with the Houndstooth? Menzie Black and White on Pink? <br /><br />I'd be happy to have anyone share their belt combo with me and I'll post it as a Friday Belt guest. <br /><br />Anon- My closet? I'll think about it.

I remember browsing over very old issues of Vanity Fair in which they carried a series of famous celebrities closets. There were only two issues in the used book store and I was too young to appreciate what I had in my hand. I do remember one belonged to Gary Cooper. Mirrored sliding doors and all his suits beautifully arranged. Sir, please.

He packed a bottle and he and his guide hunted for several days before they killed a nice one. They were pretty high up and to celebrate he cracked the bottle and they proceeded to drink it around the fire that night. All of it. The altitude took care of the rest. I've never seen a bottle but that has to do with Washington state's communist liquor regs, I'm sure. <br /><br />Whatever you do do not try Redbreast.

Left unsaid generally, though, is that a blend has other alcohol as well - it's not pure scotch.<br /><br />A "pure malt" contains only scotch (like a single malt, unlike a blend), but from different distilleries (like a blend, but unlike a single malt). <br /><br />So, it's neither a blended scotch or a single malt. Hope that's not too unclear!.<br /><br />My personal favorite and perhaps the best known of this variety is Johnny Walker's Green Label.The People's Businesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397781935048864087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-77562494704712660362009-12-18T12:12:08.364-05:002009-12-18T12:12:08.364-05:00Hey J.P.
