Scotch Whisky Testing Night at The Junk

Last Friday , me and my friends went for the Single Malt Scotch Whisky Testing Night at "The Junk" Restuarant generously organised by Riche Monde . They are here to promote the Glenmorangie Single Malt with its finest which is handcrafted to its origin dated back since 1843. There were not many invited whisky lovers just about runs up to 10 guests which I consider an exclusive invitation.


The night started with the opening presentation by the Scotch Connoisseur , an outspoken plumb chinese guy from KL whom in his 30's on the three types of Glenmorangie namely , The Original ,Lasanta and Quinta Ruban poured into 3 individual sherry-type port glasses meant for every of the invited guests. Anyhow, I was thirsty , be it testing or not I succumed to 2 shots of "The Original" before everything started........ and here are my observance and perceptions on the three Glenmorangie's as follows.


It is a humbleness drink ,good after when you get sick of the "crockroach-smelling " Black Labels and Chivas Regals. Its is also on the lighter side, considers good for all whisky lovers who has had hangovers and who are in need of a chaser.............
This I won't recommend as I have mentioned for those whom has the intend and looking forward to a whisky-spree night or had one the night before. Its has a very strong woody smell so therefore any first consumption of it would result in throat coughing like jet's after burners!!! However, I think its good with cigars........


This is another drink with humbleness .....I like it very much as in fact it seems to be the most poured drinks on the table ,that I have to insists for it constantly before it runs dry!!! It is also a good whisky which blends with almost everything including food. During dinner , I had salmon and lamb which its compliments very well.

In light of the amount of scotch whiskys I had ,its was about time my bladder had triggers my sensory alarm to head for the washroom and to my surprise when I was there.......!!!

After my relieved I was trying to find the washing bowl to wash my hands....and for awhile I couldn't locate it . I looked around the washroom and damn ,not one in sight.......in my mind was thinking ,the owner had forgotten to put one or simply disrespect hygiene !!

After closed scrutiny , I noticed a brass looking metal object somewhat like the one used by the roman soldier as bodyshield in the medieval times.
As it turns out after unlocking the clip , it was the washing bowl...unique man unigue!!!!


Also in the washrooms , I can't help but noticed this old bus stop sign which many would remember been used in the early 70's ................dejavu!!


When I couldn't find the washing bowl at that time, I had nothing better to do so I had my own picture taken.....creepy dude i am!!!!
