How to get sidetracked...

[elisi]

Try to spend a few minutes writing fic, and instead end up trying to work out which whiskey your OC Time Lord prefers in his different regenerations.

1st - Bunnahabhain
The Bunnahabhain is one of the milder single malt Islay whiskies available and its taste varies greatly from other spirits to be found on the island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland.

2nd - AnCnoc
anCnoc is a single malt Scotch whisky with a mind of its own. Even the name (pronounced ‘a-nock’), defies convention as it’s Gaelic for the nearby Knock Hill (this is unusual, as most whiskies are named after the Distillery).

3rd - Lagavulin
The connoisseurs choice when it comes to Islay whisky, with the Lagavulin 16 hailed as one of the finest whiskies available. Rich, smoky and elegant.

4th - Laphroaig
One of the most divisive Scotch whiskies, loved by those who enjoy its medicinal, smoky flavour and looked on in amazement by those who don't, it remains one of the most popular.

(And no, I have not yet written any 4th Seeker. But I have plans.)

It is not entirely your fault that I had a bottle of Lagavulin 16 in the kitchen.

It *is* entirely your fault that I went and poured myself a small tumbler-full, and am now trying to remember the scene of Roger Delgado as the Master drinking whiskey, and wondering if in the purplefringe and such_heights video they followed that shot with the shot of Peter Capaldi with the decanter from “Deep Breath”, like they did the montage of the Pertwee and Simm and Capaldi red-lined capes. One way to find out, I suppose. Gah, it’s not there any more? That’s no good.

I am very, very jealous right now. (We have whiskey, but not Lagavulin.)

I HAVE ONE ON MY DESK TOO! (Not Lagavulin. But. *g*)

The download is still there. And it works on Tumblr. Also I shall go check for you... :D

[enevarim]

Ah. Still on tumblr, yes. Just watched. Gosh that was well done.

[elisi]

It was everything I could want.

<3 I'm sorry there is no parallel whiskey drinking in the vid! If the song was about three times as long it's possible we may have been able to include all the clips we wanted to...maybe.

[elisi]

Don't worry, you did an amazing job! ♥

*Grins* Tis RESEARCH, dammit...

[elisi]

These things have to be done...

Then it got complicated because I wanted each of them to reflect the drinker.

Sudden headcannon of Roda buying him whiskey for Christmas while on her, uh, 'hiatus' and it arrives out of nowhere and he never figures out who the whiskey fairy is.

[elisi]

omg

This must happen.

(Was busy working on the thing for you btw. Or rather the thing I have to finish before I start on the proper thing for you...)

EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT! XD

[elisi]

And whiskey is ESPECIALLY important. Whiskey and Tea. *firm nod*

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Indeed! :D

Hahahahaha. Excellent way to get sidetracked.

[elisi]

I aim high.

I suspect this list would be even funnier if I was a drinker, but Hee! Back in the day I remember making a chart deciding how each of the scoobies would vote in the 2004 election. Good times!

[elisi]

If you were a drinker you would either a) be drinking whiskey right now or b) be wishing you had some whiskey. It makes you ever so thirsty...

And oh goodness, I think I remember that!

What, no Octomore? XD

I dunno, sidetracking this may be, but this sort of small detail is the kind of thing that can imply a lot about a character, even if you only keep it in your head and it doesn't literally wind up on the page.

Fond of Macallan, myself, although I'm open to just about anything. (And pleased that there are more Irish single-malts as well as Scotch available in the US these days than there used to be.)

I'd never heard of that one! Although apparently it's very peaty, so I'll have a lookout. :)

Oh absolutely. I couldn't proceed with the story until I knew!

I like most everything too... Only wish I could afford it more than occasionally.
