Do you drink when you listen?

Well, I tried to join the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society w/ sdcampbell but couldn't make the cut. I joined the local Old Milwaukee Club instead. No limited edition stuff but we get volume discounts on cans. Not bad either if anyone is interested.... Have you ever noticed how bright your speakers sound if you get 20-30 folks in you listening room drinking from aluminumn cans? We've taken to using those foam can holders from walmart... really good results.

Sincerely, I remain

Absolutly enjoy drinks while listening - sometimes in fact I enjoy ABSOLUT or Vox Vodka - hey tireguy Booker's is the best bourbon in the world, arguably anyway, Booker Noe is Jim Beam's grandson - the Beam family have been making bourbon for 207 years! Try Knob Creek sometime - makes an outstanding manhattan :)

Clueless, you need Can-a-pods (tm) Can Dampers, or you have to get your guest to stack granite on top of their cans.

Only when forced to listen to someone's Bose system...

Hey, Clueless -- just use my name as a reference if you still want to join the Society. Hell, we admit anybody as long as they have the money (grin). 4 readers have contacted me to get the info on how to join the Society, so I decided to post it here for anyone who is interested.

As you will see if you access their Web site, there is a membership fee, but the initial fee includes an introductory 750 ml bottle of whisky. I have found the bottlings offered by the Society to be extraordinary. And, if you ever get to Edinburgh, Scotland, the Society has its own small hotel for members which includes a private bar with REALLY special Scotch whisky.

In addition to offering limited edition bottlings, the Society also sponsors "tasting" evenings annually throughout the U.S. I attended the one in Seattle two years ago and had a terrific evening.

The U.S. office for the Society is located in Sunrise, Florida. Here is the contact info:
