Ebay gone wrong - whisky self portrait

[Alex_B]

Finally another blooper from me.

Today I was quick-and-dirty shooting some Whiskies I am going to sell on ebay, and apart from white balance gone wrong and all ... I produced a self-portrait here! You can even see part of my living room

Too much drinking before the shoot?...=)

At least (like the one shot from a long time ago passed around the internet) you werent naked shooting...LOL

 

[lostprophet]

WOW you have mountains in your living room!! I'm jealous

 

[PNA]

I didn't know you could sell alcohol on the ebay....???

Well, at least in Europe, where things are a bit more relaxed regarding alcohol. I did sell several bottles already.

and the market is pretty alive:

My collection.....

 

[Alex_B]

Wow, many of my friends there .. I can see Dalmore, Glenmorangie, Bowmore, Balvenie, Laphroaig and ... Highland Park on the far right?

Actually that's Old Pulteney.....the Balvenie in the foreground is a 21 year old prize. Try enlarging the photo???

Next time you're this way, bring your favorite sipping glass and we'll toast to the good life.....!!!

here is what I took for ebay today ... not very elaborate shots and the self portrait is included

 

[Alex_B]

well those are currently for sale .. in my small collection i have a 21 y/o Balvenie as well, Port Wood finish. But my favourite is a 15 year old Lagavulin!

Well, I know, I was too much in a hurry last time I passed by ....!

Nice......Only one I know is the Laphroaig, but I'm sure the other three are worthy...

While in St. Andrews several years ago and I stopped in a liquor store and was amazed at the number of different labels of scotch, many, many I've never seen here in the US. May have been 100 different labels. Impressive..... Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to sample them all.

Someone on Rx8club.com posted a picture of their car, and they could be seen naked in the reflection of the paint on the door. It was really funny, so remember, it could be worse.

I know, that actually happens quite often

I just start to wonder how many people run around naked at home

You mean, the other 12 ... guess the images were just loading slowly

Anyway, the Glen Orchy is not a real single malt, it is a pure malt blended for a supermarket chain. very cheap, but very good for its price.

Oh there exist many more than 100 .. yes, it is amazing. but as on all markets, concentration has begun decades ago, and most destilleries are not independent anymore today.
