Tenuous Links Drinks Day 12 - Twelve Drummers Drumming

24/12/2014

0 Comments

 
Well, it’s Christmas Eve and the last day of my wee 12 Days of Christmas Tenuous Drinks links so I thought I’d push the boat out and try for quite a long winded, 6 degrees of separation type link to our 12 Drummers Drumming so here goes;

Drums are not of European origin, in fact the oldest known drum was discovered in Egypt. Egypt is home to the famous port city of Alexandria.  Alexandria is also the name of a town on Loch Lomond. Loch Lomond whisky was a favourite of Captain Haddock, created by Herge. Herge is Belgian. His main character, Tintin, had a dog called Snowy. Snowy is also a type of Owl. So, drumroll please, day 12’s tenuous link drink is a dram from the Belgian Owl Distillery (which incidentally got its stills from Caperdonich, which was our tenuous link drink on Day 7).

I hope you’ve enjoyed our alternative Christmas countdown. All the remains is for me to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year when it comes!
