Glenfiddich 15

 


This isn't something for the faint hearted.  I found it to be bold and exciting.  Yet it was smooth.  Glennfiddich 18 has always been a favorite among my group of friends, probably because it was flavorful, very smooth and easy on the palate.  For gift-giving, I've always chosen the 12 year old bottles, and for years, I've skipped the 15 year old expressions altogether.  That day, the Puregold shop was out of the 18 year old bottles, and I settled for this one.  Not bad at all, I'm happy with the choice!

Veritasium

Derek Muller's Veritasium is a very popular YouTube channel that gives audiences quick insights into science and engineering issues.  Whether he talks about fantastic new materials, black holes, flight trajectories, light, math equations--the subject matter becomes interesting and easy to understand.  I've always been a proponent of idea simplification as a means to stimulate learning with younger audiences, and I think Muller's channel is doing a fine job!
