Every month we award a bottle of Glengoyne 10 year old single malt – the finest whisky available to humanity – to a commenter who tickles our fancy…
One thing we like about this place is the way you get introduced to characters you wouldn’t otherwise come across. Till Lindemann (bottom), for instance, lead singer of Rammstein and an artist who, in our equal favourite description of 2012, “is inspired by the thought of Snow White enslaving the seven dwarves and doing coke, before dying of an overdose in the bath”. This from Daniel Kalder’s brilliant appreciation of the band last month. You just want to know more.
Jon Hotten, in the comments, told us more. He related an encounter with the band and their metal milieu before rounding things off with our other favourite description of 2012:
Till Lindemann descended from the ceiling on a metal globe dressed as a hunchback. You don’t get any more heavy metal than that. They were fucking brilliant.
Jon, enjoy a bottle. Rock and roll.
I wonder if a bottle of Glengoyne has ever been poured over a groupie and licked off.
It will be.
After setting fire to the television and pouring the bottle over the groupie I hope you’ll take time to pause and savour the medium sweet aromas of Glengoyne, suggesting malt, oak, and a hint of Sherry.
Rammstein might also have used it as a propellant.
