    最近拜读的一本书,给我以新的角度是观摩这个激情但又有点失常的社会。。。
    越是深入了解这个社会,越是感觉被深深地吸进去了。虽然实体上还没有,但是思想上。。。

    《货币战争》的专门博客,刚找到还没时间研究(似乎里面满是经济哲学相关内容)

    那个谁说过:知道的越多懂得的越少。
    我现在也许已经摸到这个概念的一点边边了。
    这种惯性是无法消除的,不太明白自己吸收这些东西的根源。
    但是为了各种各样的原因,我们都会惯性的坚持下去。
    For me, 只是为了更靠近“博物学家”这个小时候的理想而已。
    Discovery里的博物学家,更多的是在大自然方面展现自己的才能。
    我呢,则希望能在更多方面。。。人,果然贪心。

    Very Old Scotch Whisky


    昨晚尝试了下“苏格兰之魂”,确实有点不同凡响。
    还有牙签插迷你番茄做的高尔夫杆和尽头杯夹有黄瓜的炮弹。。。
    不小心又尝鲜了哈~~ 不过还好,我一向能撑得住。这次也能回忆起得回家的过程了。

    呵呵,介绍下”苏格兰之魂“啦~ 想办法慢慢品一下(现在依然没有掌握细腻的品酒技巧 :)

    Scotch whisky is Whisky made in Scotland. In the United States, it is often referred to as "Scotch". In the UK, the term whisky is usually taken to mean Scotch unless otherwise specified. 

    Scotch whisky is divided into four distinct categories: single malt, vatted malt (also called "pure malt"), blended and single grain.

    Legal definition

    To be called Scotch whisky the spirit must conform to the standards of the Scotch Whisky Order of 1990 (UK), which clarified the Scotch Whisky Act of 1988, page retrieved 22 December 2006</ref> and mandates that the spirit:
    1. Must be distilled at a Scottish distillery from water and malted Barley, to which only other whole grains may be added, have been processed at that distillery into a mash, converted to a fermentable substrate only by endogenous enzyme systems, and fermented only by the addition of yeast,
    2. Must be distilled to an alcoholic strength of less than 94.8% by volume so that it retains the flavour of the raw materials used in its production,
    3. Must be matured in Scotland in oak casks for no less than three years,
    4. Must not contain any added substance other than water and caramel colouring, and
    5. May not be bottled at less than 40% alcohol by volume.

    History

    “To Friar John Cor, by order of the King, to make aqua vitae VIII bolls of malt.”Exchequer Rolls 1494–95, vol x, p. 487

    Whisky has been produced in Scotland for hundreds of years. It is generally agreed that monks brought distillation with them along with Christianity in the fourth and fifth centuries. The first taxes on whisky production were imposed in 1644, causing a rise in illicit whisky distilling in the country. Around 1780, there were about 8 legal distilleries and 400 illegal ones. In 1823, Parliament eased restrictions on licensed distilleries with the "Excise Act", while at the same time making it harder for the illegal stills to operate, thereby ushering in the modern era of Scotch production. Two events helped the increase of whisky's popularity: first, a new production process was introduced in 1831 called Coffey or Patent Still (see in section below); the whisky produced with this process was less intense and smoother. Second, the Phylloxera beetle destroyed wine and cognac production in France in 1880.
