Man About Town, The Scotch Tasting
It’s not often that a girl gets to dip into a Scotch Tasting at The Jonathan Club in Downtown LA - an old school boy’s club if ever there was one! So I consider myself one lucky gal!… Last weekend, I was invited to a Bachelor Party scotch tasting hosted by Coe Bloomberg, Man about Town, lucky groom to be, and long-time member of the JC. I’ve been an honorary member of the Bloomberg family since I shot their family photos about 5 years ago… I’ve since shot 4 of their weddings, some headshots, engagement pictures, boudoir - you name it! - and we’ve shared many dinners and good times. I adore the Bloombergs, and I get teary-eyed at all of their events… such a sap.
When Coe invited me to join him and the boys at the Macallan Scotch Tasting - to photograph the event - he insisted that I take a seat and enjoy some scotch. Well, if you insist!
Toasting the man of the hour. Groom to be, Coe (on the right) with his two son-in-laws to be… along with a few dozen other guys :)
We enjoyed 6 different types of Macallan Scotch that night. Upon arriving, we were greeted with a 12 (I missed out on that - long story - but I was bounced at first :) Then we moved on to the 15 - which was yummy. Then the 17, which was interesting… Then… my absolute favorite, the 18!… oh, delicious! I had more notes on the complexities and flavors of each, but I’ve totally forgotten the details, so I just remember varying levels of “Oh my lord, that’s Yummmmy!” Hee hee - I’m a girl.
The 4th round was the so-called “King of Malts” the 21, but eh, didn’t beat my 18.
The JC version of Good Cop / Bad Cop.
The groom’s son, Chris, sniffing the scotch right before winning a bottle of my beloved 18, which of course he gave to his dad…
Making it “neat” - Yes, I’m taking a pic with my right and drinking with my left. Hey, I was a guest too! Is this pic tilted?…
Uh oh - better put down the camera. That’s all for now!…
A bit of boudoir coming up next…
Cheers! with the 18 :)
