What do you say to an old friend who lives on the other side of the country when he reports some good news? In the old days I’d send him a bottle of J&B Scotch. But that doesn’t seem like the most appropriate gift for such an event.
Yes, my partner in crime, J of J&B on the ROX, is now a father.
I can’t send him a bottle of that crap.
His son, Julian, deserves better.
Julian’s mom, Day, deserves better.
Definitely something single malt. Not that I can afford much.
Maybe The Dalmore?
MIchael Collins Irish Whiskey. Good stuff, and named after the founder of Sinn Fein. Apropos, non?
Yeah, the baby will love single malt.
The thought of J with a kid makes me smile.
Wow! J’s a dad! Wow!
You can get the dad some whiskey, and the baby a bottle of port from this year that will mature when the kid is 18 (or 21 if you are that way inclined).
