All your recommendations have piqued my interest. I'm a sucker for a black bird so that will likely be the first one I look into further. As a migraineur, I've spent much of my life avoiding scents as they can be a trigger. But I've lately been having a love affair with Scotch whisky - the nose is part of the joy and discovery! Thanks for sharing. As part of a book club I've been reading Middlemarch (I'm very behind) and plan to reread Frankenstein soon.

Hi there. Isn’t that cover just amazing. And the bird has a powerful role in the book.

This book made me long for scents and think about them differently. Oh the nose of Whisky… I tried to learn about during Covid isolation. Thanks for mentioning Middlemarch. I haven’t read it. But mean to, thank you!

Now that I know the bird is more than cover candy, I’m even more interested. :) I was in Scotland in the spring for a milestone birthday and was blessed to experience whisky not on the shelves in the states. Delish!

Do name drop the Whisky's you discovered. Canada has a few treats on offer unavailable elsewhere too.

Morning, Patti! The hubby was the one who took notes on all the drams we tasted, but I remember some standout expressions from Ardbeg, Tomatin, and Bruichladdich that we haven’t seen on shelves or menus here.
