@matigo Per 500ml. It'd have to be a once-in-a-lifetime limited edition whisky for me to pay that much per glass, especially as most bars don't even have good glassware. Far from the most expensive whisky I've ever bought, and I had no expectations for a no-age blended whisky, so it's a pleasant surprise that this is actually not just going to be relegated to cocktails.
This past week, I've spent an obscene amount on alcohol. But for spirits, this may well be my last purchase in Paris — I'm not entirely convinced I'll be able to finish 5 bottles in 3.5 months anyway. For wine…well, we'll see. When I have more funds I'll order some more port from a shop I visited in Porto — literally half the price of Paris' wine shops.
White Oak's Akashi Meïsei blended whisky is quite the comfort drink. Jasmine, plums, spicy cereal, quite purple in character, though ultimately a simple dram.
At 33€ I'm not complaining… :o
@matigo The beauty of watches that last forever. I'm actually considering consulting a Seiko dealer to see if I can have the chipped glass on my quartz chronograph that I bought in 2005 replaced, because that's the only thing that's wrong with it. It was my first really nice watch and it'd be a shame to waste it, if such a repair is possible.
Ordered a few NATO and Perlon straps earlier tonight, which will no doubt be more comfortable than the leather strap.
@indigo @matigo had the same thing happen when he typed "day".
Sounds like the foie gras situation here — jars of lard are available at any time of year.
Tonight's task: convert the CV to LaTeX and update it (which I haven't had to do in over a year).
