I'm a single malt whisky
from Take a Walk in the Enchanted Forest
Yes - really! Most whiskeys are blended, from several different malts, Johnny Walker is supreme at this, but for me the very best whiskeys are the single malts. A single malt is a whiskey that is not blended. It comes from a single malt, the mash of a single growth of barley, brewed with the particular spring water of that distillery, and using its own yeast. I like the ones from the Isle of Islay best, especially Bruichladdich and Lafrohaig. So how am I a single malt? I come from my own family and heritage, I was brewed in that family tradition, I'm authentically me. That can be a bit challenging for some people, sometimes, but it's what and who I am. And we can all be like that. we can all be our own single malt, not a blend of what other people think we should be. And yes, that will challenge some people. Is that such a bad thing? I like particular sorts of music, books, food, furnishings, clothes, wine, places to live, all that stuff. I don't follow trends , though sometimes I find I'm actually fashionable LOL. How do you feel about all that? Are you - or would you like to be - a single malt too? Catch me @elensentier.com And subscribe to my Substack https://elensentier.substack.com/
