"The world can be beautiful and have gorgeous things in it.  Today’s pageant winner is the new Octomore Comus 4.2....

... If you have nothing to celebrate – make something up…  It could be national “That’s what she said” day for all I care.

This whisky is so worth your time.

Truthfully, one of the best whiskies I’ve had year [sic] to date."

Bruichladdich’s Octomore “Comus” – Ummm, wow., Jewish Single Malt Whisky Society, May 9, 2012.

We may not have pictured Comus as a pageant winner - the offspring of solemn Islay peat dancing with a delicate French mistress wasn't obviously destined for the traditional beauty stage. But when we conjured up the notion, this matching of antonyms, we were pretty sure she would turn heads. Why? Why not?
