Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a big ice cube, and garnish with lemon oil from a twist.

quality versus quantity does not have to be a winner-take-all proposition.

Never mind me - as your blog is an eternal project...
But the language "the swallow"....hmmmm...
Perhaps "mid-palate", late-palate, finish" as options come to mind...they do all seem to matter - certainly sipping our nice scotch, whiskey or old shoe leather....
Considering that I'm drinking more than properly tasting, I'm using different vocabulary. Otherwise, I'd probably be decanting part of it into a Glencairn glass and doing all those tricks I do with spirits when tasting. Also, these are the words we've been using for over a decade before all the fancy proper tasting terms came into vogue.
Frederic,
Fair enough! Was just curious - since so much of your blog is quite the impeccable and precise effort - quite a joyful work of art that, God willing, I look forward to further exploration!
