A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Beijing Boyce VI: Mailbag!

Email: [Re My statement last issue that drinkers who mix Chivas with green tea should be executed] Why should you have any problem with those philistines who drink mass-market blended whisky? Let them do what they want with it - you can make it any more bland or innocuous by mixing it with whatever Chinese ingredients you have lying around. That leaves the nice single malts to us! - KR

BB: A good point, but what if those people are on a slippery slope, at the bottom of which they start mixing those nice single malts with green tea? Not a pretty situation and one that is bound to increase prices. No, best to nip this in the bud, perhaps by death by poisoning. Then again, come to think of it, maybe that’s exactly what Chivas and green tea does to people.
