They expected a group of the cognoscenti appreciating subtle noses, hints of honey, smooth palates, whatever. Unfortunately the normal JD product is seen there more as a working class hard drinking tipple, especially beloved by bikers and those who aspire to that image. The urbane and elegant lady visiting from Tennessee couldn't understand why the customers would treat each sample as a shot to be thrown down in a single gulp nor the repeated requests for coke and ice from the ladies attending. I would have thought that the proliferation of tatoos and piercings, leather and denim might have given her a clue. 2009/5/10 leo wesson <leowesson at gmail.com> > I was told that dallas is the fastest growing market for scotch. macallan > is hitting it hard, trying to pick up a new demographic. > > Leo Wesson > Photographer/Videographer > 817.733.9157 > www.leowesson.com > > > On Sat, May 9, 2009 at 9:04 AM, Jayanand Govindaraj <jayanand at gmail.com > >wrote: > > > Leo, > > That is extreme, even for the USA (-: Especially as nobody can afford > > it nowadays, unless they work on Wall Street (-: Finally the shortage > > of Lagavulin should ease! > > Cheers > > Jayanand > > > > > > On Sat, May 9, 2009 at 7:04 PM, leo wesson <leowesson at gmail.com> > > wrote: > > > yes, ice and sugar, you are in the usa. > > > > > > Leo Wesson > > > Photographer/Videographer > > > 817.733.9157 > > > www.leowesson.com > > > > > > > > > On Sat, May 9, 2009 at 8:09 AM, Nathan Wajsman <photo at > > > frozenlight.eu> > > wrote: > > > > > >> Excuse me for a minute while I go and throw up ;-) > > >> > > >> Nathan Wajsman > > >> Alicante, Spain > > >> http://www.frozenlight.eu > > >> http://www.greatpix.eu > > >> http://www.nathanfoto.com > > >> > > >> Books: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/search?search=wajsman&x=0&y=0 > > >> PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws > > >> Blog: http://www.fotocycle.dk/blog > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> On May 9, 2009, at 2:47 PM, leo wesson wrote: > > >> > > >> so i guess that i shouldn't mention that they were serving a mixed > > drink, > > >>> 12 yr with gingerale and a slice of lime.... > > >>> > > >>> Leo Wesson > > >>> Photographer/Videographer > > >>> 817.733.9157 > > >>> www.leowesson.com > > >>> > > >>> > > >>> On Sat, May 9, 2009 at 1:17 AM, Jayanand Govindaraj < > > jayanand at gmail.com > > >>> >wrote: > > >>> > > >>> Nathan, > > >>>> The event was in the USA...(-: > > >>>> Cheers > > >>>> Jayanand > > >>>> > > >>>> On Sat, May 9, 2009 at 11:41 AM, Nathan Wajsman > <photo at frozenlight.eu > > > > > >>>> wrote: > > >>>> > > >>>>> Nice, but what are they doing putting those ice cubes/balls into > the > > >>>>> > > >>>> single > > >>>> > > >>>>> malt??
