Single Malt Scotch!

Found an interesting website, some of it from way back in the ARPANET days. Looks like it might have been the source of info on whisky at one time. Not sure if any of you have seen it or not.

Of particular interest were these tasting notes from '96 or thereabouts; compare the ratings then vs. now. Some tings haven't changed a lot, which is probably good! Confirmed a few things I've found out in the last couple of years, anyway.

PS, I remember using the Usenet; all that stuff is still probably out there somewhere, I bet.

I recently purchased 1969 Gibson EB3 that had been sitting in a Pa attic for 45 years. Yes Jack Bruce and Co. Today is the clean up day. I brushed and lubed the tuners. I then approached the 2 point bridge and discovered there was sticky dust infused gunk in the string slots and the mute tray and the mounting screws. Now here is the point of this post in this particular thread. A damp sponge didn't touch this gunk. I went to get our bottle of rubbing alcohol and it was gone. Going to the store was not a option. So I came across my bottle of GlenLivet 12 year old single cask and figured what the heck. Worked like a charm. Cleaned that gunk right up. Polished the Pickup covers gleaming and since it is Single Malt was used very sparingly so not a drop got on the 50 year old Nitro finish. And boy does it smell purdy. Now to a finish restore and polish, slap on a set of D'Adarrio Short Scale Flats and it will be ready for my best friend who will be playing bass for the band opening for BOC this Thursday. Thank you Scotland I am very Appreciative.
(Hmmm if it cleans the gunk that well what's it doing to me in there?!)

We'll spot you the smell part, but you have to show some pics of that!!! Nice find!
Here ya go
No pics were taken while I was cleaning and I just drank what was left in the glass.
It had been stored in an attic in Pennsylvania for 45 years. Yes that is a 1972 Dimarzio Model 1 and there has been some wiring modifications.
Dare I say it?
What Scotch is best for cleaning heavy metal basses?
And should one serve it with a side of tort, or not?

Well I went out with a bud for my Birthday and sampled a Talisker 10 at a local club, I forgot how good that stuff is. Also tried a Ardberg An Ona and Ugedahl. I liked both, I had tried Ugedahl and Corryvekan years ago, but I was new to Scotch and not an Islay guy then. I'm glad I got a chance to re-experience. Also does anyone know any good mail order USA scotch dealers, in MI the state sets liquor prices and in some cases I have been able to find good stuff 30-40% less on mail order, but the dealers seem to have disappeared. Here's the current lineup.
I would personally choose a Glenfiddich 12 for this application, since it's obviously not fit for human consumption.
I ran into something interesting while shopping today:
anCnoc Cutter
It's a peated variation of their usual Highland tastes. There's a sharp smoke, spice, and citrus right up front, almost briny but veering toward a bittersweet floral taste. This fizzles out and is left with a smoky spiced honey that lingers for a half minute, leaving your palette feeling like you just finished a cinnamon mint.
It's rather fetching

I'm enjoying Ardbeg Corryvrecken tonight and unfortunately it's raining men.
An excellent choice! I almost bought another bottle of Uigealdail today, but forced myself to branch out instead.
