bra sagt om whisky

[MacNilsson]

Jag håller på med ett litet projekt där jag behöver bra och kul citat om whisky. Nån som har något på lager?

personligen tycker jag att blendern på Ben Nevis slog huvudet i spiken

"Whisky is like sex, when it's good it's great, and when it's bad it's still pretty good"

"We frequently hear of people dying from too much drinking. That this happens is a matter of record. But the blame is always placed on whisky. Why this should be I never could understand. You can die from drinking too much of anything ? coffee, water, milk, soft drinks and all such stuff as that. And so as long as the presence of death lurks with anyone who goes through the simple act of swallowing. I will make mine whisky."

(W.C. Fields, 1880-1946)

"Whiskey is for drinking; water is for fighting over."

When you are cold and wet what else can warm you?"

(Ernest Hemingway)

Irish shamrock"What butter and whiskey won't cure, there is no cure for."

(Irish Saying)

"If you mean whiskey, the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean that evil drink that topples Christian men and women from the pinnacles of righteous and gracious living into the bottomless pits of degradation, shame, despair, helplessness, and hopelessness, then, my friend, I am opposed to it with every fiber of my being.

However, if by whiskey you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the elixir of life, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer, the stimulating sip that puts a little spring in the step of an elderly gentleman on a frosty morning; if you mean that drink that enables man to magnify his joy, and to forget life's great tragedies and heartbreaks and sorrow; if you mean that drink the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars each year, that provides tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitifully aged and infirm, to build the finest highways, hospitals, universities, and community colleges in this nation, then my friend, I am absolutely, unequivocally in favor of it. This is my position, and as always, I refuse to be compromised on matters of principle.

(Address to the legislature by a Mississippi state senator, 1958, "Whiskey Speech")

"The proper drinking of Scotch whisky is more than indulgence: it is a toast to civilization, a tribute to the continuity of culture, a manifesto of man?s determination to use the resources of nature to refresh mind and body and enjoy to the full the senses with which he has been endowed."

(David Daiches, Scotch Whisky 1969)

"There are two things a Highlander likes naked, and one of them is malt whisky."

(Scottish proverb.)

Irish shamrock"May the enemies of Ireland never eat bread nor drink whiskey, but be tormented with itching without benefit of scratching."

(Irish toast.)

Tobias Smollett on Scotch Whisky(Commenting on a funeral in the highlands of Scotland in the eighteenth century)

"Yesterday we were invited to the funeral of an old lady, and found ourselves in the midst of fifty people, who were regaled with a sumptuous feast, accompanied by the music of a dozen pipers. In short, this meeting had all the air of a grand festival; and the guests did such honour to the entertainment, that many of them could not stand when we were reminded of the business on which we had met....

The body was committed to the earth, the pipers playing a pibroch all the time; and all the company standing uncovered. The ceremony was closed with the discharge of pistols ; then we returned to castle, resumed the bottle, and by midnight there was not a sober person in the family, the females excepted. Our entertainer was a little chagrined at our retreat, and seemed to think it a disparagement to his family, that not above a hundred gallons of whisky had been drunk upon such a solemn occasion.

(Tobias Smollet in Humphrey Clinker.)

"Beer does not taste like itself unless it is chasing a dram of neat whisky down the gullet - preferably two drams"
