Don't use single malt myself but thought you lovers would appreciate this
from a devoted connasure{ could not come close enough for spell check to
help}
:"
For the uninitiated, if you can olfactorize (as opposed to visualize) the
smell and flavour of wet shoe-leather, you've got a fair approximation of
Lapsang Souchong."[

Or maybe this is a tea ? Am sure Wolfgang can help me.

Wife wants to visit Nova Scotia area this August-----anyone with info or
suggestion for lodging etc please sent--plus is there any reason I should
take a fly rod?

Reading a collection of stories by Ernest Schwiebert who is advertised
as " America"s Best known Flyfisherman "!!!Book is called A River For
Christmas---I think Lefty would be best know fisherman and Genrich as best
know author

So i said my **** and will return to my book

Yeah, that's a tea, Joe. We like it to finish off a Chinese dinner.
It is to tea as Laphraoig is to Scotch.

I was there back in October, Joe. In Yarmouth, we stayed at the
Colony Inn. Not fancy but clean and pleasant. Great food at the big
yellow house-like restaurant down the waterfront road from there.
Sorry, I forget its name.

In Halifax, we stayed at the Westin, because everything else was full.
But it was reasonable ($60 per night per person).

If you get to Glace Bay, Cape Breton Island (part of Nova Scotia), by
all means stay at Vespers.

And don't fail to see Louisbourg, a restored (a la Colonial
Williamsburg) French fort-settlement on the east coast of Cape Breton
Island. Enough there to spend the whole day.

Interesting Alexnder Graham Bell museum at Baddeck, and a lovely drive
over.

Yes, you can use a fly rod there.

My friend, Jay, used to drink that stuff back about 25 years ago. I
always thought it more redolent of wet (and well worn) wool socks than
shoe-leather......but the distinction is probably too fine for my
uneducated nose to be of any real value.....and I was never tempted to
challenge my equally deficient palate. At any rate, I can see no
reason to be overly concerned about whether one should call it scotch
or tea. :(

who, nevertheless, can hardly remain unimpressed by the fact that it
gets 19 stars in the pendleton guide.

the Margaree on Cape Breton has a summer run of salmon. The river is also
full of small brookies to 10 or 11 inches and has sea run brookies as
well.You don't have to hire a guide. Margaree Lodge at Margaree forks is
nice. It is a short drive west to Baddeck. About an hour to the east is
Cheticamp - an Acadian (French) community (the Acadians were largely evicted
by the british in the 18th century many settling in Louisiana and came to
call themselves Cajuns) that is well worth a couple of hours prowling in the
craft shops. The local residents are known for their hooked rug art work.
From there you can drive the Cabot Trail along the sea to Dingwall. Fabulous
scenery. Cape Breton National Park has many small lakes said to be loaded
with brookies. Some are impoundments with good size fish. South from
Margaree Forks is North America' only Single Malt Scotch distillery - though
I found the stuff had a soapy quality and it's pricey - $80Cdn a bottle.


I wish I had gotten a chance to fish for mackerl in the ocean. Charters are
cheap and I bet you could talk the skipper into letting you swing a fly if
the boat isn't busy. There is some good fishing for small mouth Bass and
chain pickerl on the mainland.
