Not burning styrofoam, more like burning cormorant feathers. > Fortunately, I did not pay for the bottle from which > this was discovered. > : ) Islay malts, like rangefinder cameras, are a specific taste. As to camera equivalents: The Glenlivet: Canon (rebel) It's the one everybody knows about, you can buy it anyplace, and I'm just not particularly fond of it. Glenfiddich: Nikon (d5000?) Nearly as ubiquitous as The Glenlivet, but I like it just a touch better. Laphroaig: Leica Quirky, expensive, only appeals to a few, but they really like it. Lagavulin: Fuji X100 Very similar to Laphroaig, but with a bit more complexity and character. Someone who doesn't know them wouldn't be able to tell them apart. Aberlour: Pentax Similar in many ways to The Glenlivet and Glenfiddich (actually made in Glenlivet) but less expensive, and to my taste a lot better. Glen Morangie: Sony Another very common one, that is very easy to find. They go off in their own direction a lot with the double wood aging. > -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
