Old Pulteney 15 Year

Review by: dustbunna I had a bit of a falling out with Pulteney when their owner, Inver House, decided to re-vamp their core range back in 2018-19. The old 17yr and 21yr disappeared and were replaced at the same price points, respectively, by this 15yr and an 18yr. The stalwart 12yr entry bottling, which had been exported at 43% ABV in the US, came in line with the UK market at 40%. All in all,…

Northanger Abbey Readthrough Ch 11

Important context for this chapter! Blaize Castle is a FAKE CASTLE:

known as a "folly". It's basically a very large lawn ornament. It was built in 1766, so John Thorpe is lying through his teeth when he says it's the oldest in the kingdom, it's only about 40 years old by Catherine's time.

I love that Mr. Allen refuses to predict the weather when he's not at home. I love Mrs. Allen's little dig about Catherine not minding dirt (makes me wonder if Catherine has ruined a few cushions in her day). I love poor Catherine sitting at the window counting umbrellas and hoping her walk will happen!

Now, I do wonder that the Tilneys didn't send Catherine a note. It was at least 12:40 when the Thorpes showed up, then they talked, and Catherine sees the Tilneys walking towards her lodgings. It must be 1:00 p.m. by then. These Tilneys are rich, can't they send a servant to say they're coming? Did they really expect Catherine to just wait all day?

Great quote:

she meditated, by turns, on broken promises and broken arches, phaetons and false hangings, Tilneys and trap-doors.

Catherine finally has had enough of Mr. Thorpe:

“If your brother had not got such a d—— beast to drive,” said he soon afterwards, “we might have done it very well. My horse would have trotted to Clifton within the hour, if left to himself, and I have almost broke my arm with pulling him in to that cursed broken-winded jade’s pace. Morland is a fool for not keeping a horse and gig of his own.” “No, he is not,” said Catherine warmly, “for I am sure he could not afford it.” “And why cannot he afford it?” “Because he has not money enough.” “And whose fault is that?” “Nobody’s, that I know of.” Thorpe then said something in the loud, incoherent way to which he had often recourse, about its being a d—— thing to be miserly; and that if people who rolled in money could not afford things, he did not know who could, which Catherine did not even endeavour to understand. Disappointed of what was to have been the consolation for her first disappointment, she was less and less disposed either to be agreeable herself or to find her companion so; and they returned to Pulteney Street without her speaking twenty words.

Now of course, we know with hindsight that John has decided (for some reason) that James is very rich, so he doesn't understand why James doesn't keep a carriage. Now Catherine knows that her family isn't super wealthy, so I'm sure all of this talk is just incomprehensible to her. But who in their right mind could understand John Thorpe...

Poor Catherine gets no country walk, no Blaize Castle, and no Tilneys. Her day is ruined and she is consighed to cry forever on a pillow strewn with thorns... (maybe Marianne would, but not our girl Catherine)

It also seems that Catherine is beginning to notice that Isabella Thorpe isn't exactly the great friend she appeared to be at first:

Catherine could almost have accused Isabella of being wanting in tenderness towards herself and her sorrows, so very little did they appear to dwell on her mind, and so very inadequate was the comfort she offered.

I just find this whole chapter so painful, it is the epitome of FOMO, instead of hiking with her crush and his sister, she is forced to endure John Freaking Thorpe and not even have the added bonus of a castle!

The relationship of Catherine and the Tilneys is also full of these small misunderstandings and interpretations of propriety (we will see more next chapter). Miss Tilney feeling for a card and not leaving one can be seen as an indication that she wants to break off the acquaintance, or she may just have had no card. Now since she was planning on a country walk, no card is plausible, but poor Catherine is very worried that the Tilneys were insulted by her behaviour.

As a last note, this man is the worst:

(and so well cast in 2007!)

On July 3rd 1728 Robert Adam, the Scottish architect, furniture and interior designer, was born in Kircaldy

Robert Adam was the son of a Stonemason, William a stonemason who took up architecture, the family moved to Edinburgh when Robert was eleven, where his father had become the most popular architect in Scotland.

He attended The Royal High School in Edinburgh and was noted as having a "feeble constitution" His education continued at The University of Edinburgh where his studies were interrupted in 1745 due to wee bit of upheaval when the Jacobite Army of BPC arrived and occupied the City. Added to this he fell seriously ill at the end on the year and failed to graduate. On his recovery from illness in 1746, he joined his elder brother John as apprentice to his father. He assisted his father on projects such as the building of Inveraray Castle and the continuing extensions of Hopetoun House, his father died in 1748 and Robert and his brother ran the family firm now called Adam Brothers.

In 1750 Robert decided he needed to witness the architecture around Europe and departed on his "Grand Tour" in France and Italy. He studied widely the classical Roman ruins and increased his drawing skills.

On his return he opened his own architectural practice in London and soon became established as one of the most fashionable designers amongst the High Society. His Practice was timely as there was a renewed interest in England for all things Classical and the “Palladian Movement” (Based on the proportional architecture of the Italian Andrea Palladio) had just firmly taken hold. Adam was no slavish Palladian however and his Style has become known as “neoclassical”. He adapted and developed ancient styles rather than simply copying them.

As Adam was more often than not asked to renovate existing buildings much of his work was concerned with interiors. He was obsessive over every detail and designed everything himself down to plasterwork and fireplaces. He moved beyond Roman Style and was influenced by Greek, Byzantine and Italian Baroque design.

Adams work in Scotland include the Royal Exchange, in Edinburgh's High Street on the Royal Mile, The Royal Infirmary, Glasgow, Register House, Edinburgh and The Old College quadrangle at the University of Edinburgh.

In England he designed my favourite, Pulteney Bridge in Bath, as well as Kedleston Hall and Marlborough House, Brighton.

I think I have featured most of these buildings previously in posts so would like to showcase some of the meticulous interior work that Robert Adam was known for. As I've said before I am not a fan of the country houses, the places that reek of wealth, give me a ruined castle any day, but you have to admire the work that went into these interiors.

As seen in the first picture, Kenwood Library was added to Kenwood house in London by Adam between 1767-69 and you have to admit, it is beautiful as is The Marble Hall at Kedleston Hall, both these are open to visitors through English Heritage and National Trust respectively. Back in Scotland I couldn't finish this post without mentioning Red Drawing Dining room at Hopetoun House, made famous by the fictional Duke of Sandringham in TV Series Outlander.

[piju-skotskou]

Jedna věc nám v příspěvcích unikla a to cesta skrz pole plné větrných turbín. Řídil jsem a nedovolil jsem si při tom obsluhovat mobil, abych to vyfotil. Doma bych si troufnul, za volantem obyčejně dokážu dokážu věci, za které mě dobří lidé přirozeně sekýrují. Ale tady je mizerná kvalita komunikací, což v kombinaci se single roadem, hidden dipy a summity z cesty dělá lehké rally, u kterého se dá soustředit jen na to řízení.

No a jediným člověkem, který to mohl nafotit, byl otec. Jenže ten to odmítl udělat. Tohle dle jeho slov do přírody nepatří. A jelikož žije ze služby kouřovodům, byla za tím i nechuť k technologii samotné. Davám k dobru fotku z internetu. My jsme přes to jeli v lehké mlze. Nahnědlá pláň, skoro poušť, ze které vyrůstaly bílé, rychle se otáčející větrníky gigantických rozměrů. Krajina budoucnosti, nelidsky divná, pro otce však: "já to nebudu fotit".

Dopíjíme whisku, dopíjíme piva plzeňského typu z Brooklynu, vytváříme si britskou Clubcard. Sedíme u stolu v domě kousek od Stirlingu. Zítra jedeme domů. V Old Pulteney konečně cítím mořskou sůl, asi to bylo tím salátem k večeři.

Ochutnal jsem za tento prodloužený týden víc whisek, než za celý svůj život. Každý den jiná značka. Někdy i více značek. Vlastně většinou i více značek. Chci se zabít za to, ze jsem si nedělal poznámky. Ale až přijedu domů, postupně si budu objednávat:

Wolfburn - málo let, ale krásné logo, trochu kouřová a to se počítá, plus snad i lehce slaná; koupil jsem si dram skleničky v její palírně

Talisker - abych ji konečně ochutnal, whiska s více než staletým příběhem z přenádherného ostrova Skye

Highland Park 12 - etalon Vysočiny, standard - není to TOP pití, ale je to DOBRÉ pití; alespoň mi to tak z nabídky barů a restaurací a taky komentáře jednoho člověka přišlo

Old Pulteney 15 - protože tam je ta sůl a bude krémovější, než ta naše

...jedním dechem musím ale dodat, že na patnáctiletého Kilchomana Sanaig zde nic nemělo. :)))

Klaroline fanfic update: Perhaps One Day

Just posted a new chapter in my Klaroline one-shot series, Perhaps One Day !

Here’s a quick peek:

Chapter 6: Good Timing

          Caroline anxiously walked to the center of town, stubbornly intending to get back to her vacation. She gaped at the people around her who were just going about their day and had no idea that time tourists walked among them. She took in the sights of strange clothes she’d only seen on holoscreens, biting her lip to keep from giggling at the ridiculous hats decorated with ruffles or ribbons or even fake birds. Although she definitely spied several pleated, patterned silks that seemed to be making a comeback in her time.

           She walked along Pulteney Bridge, marveling at how new it looked. She reminded herself that in this time, it was only about a year old. History was revered in the 23rd century, which is why time tourism had become so popular. However, studying it was one thing, but to touch it, to breathe it in, was something else entirely. It was the closest to magic that existed in this world.  

           Caroline leaned over the side, admiring the three graceful arches that spanned the Avon River, marveling at how in another 23 years, Jane Austen would be inspired by this place and write Northanger Abbey. Caroline sighed in contentment, imagining Austen’s stubborn characters, Catherine and Henry (Caroline refused to acknowledge Eleanor was a part of that scene), carrying on a witty, biting conversation as they walked through the center of town and following the path along the river all the way to Beechen Cliff.

           “If you’re thinking of jumping, it would be of more benefit to move further upriver where a heartier depth would ensure a swift and proper end,” a wry voice suggested from beside her.

           Caroline jumped slightly, straightening from her precarious position at the bridge’s edge to scowl at the stranger beside her. “Presumptuous — perhaps I wish to suffer,” she retorted, valiantly fighting the rosy blush that threatened to creep up her neck. Dimples. Jawline. Smirk. At her obvious perusal, he even gallantly removed his high-crowned hat in a sweeping gesture and then bowed. Smug bastard.

Old Pulteney 13 (2004) for K&L

Review by: Raygun A single cask pick from K&L, ex-bourbon. I don’t have the greatest history with Old Pulteney. Nothing gets as many comments (such as “you idiot”) in my review scale as the score for Old Pulteney 12. I wondered if I had a bad bottle, because it really was not good. Except even the much-loved 17 wasn’t great for me. I put it down to one of those odd things where this particular…

A tale of two women at the Branchport Library

By Jonathan Monfiletto

It turns out the Branchport Library has been named after two women who passionately supported its mission to the community, throughout its more than a century of existence. The library is, of course, officially known as the Modeste Bedient Memorial Library, and it is located on State Route 54A across from the Branchport fire station in the heart of this hamlet in the town of Jerusalem.

When I set out to research the history of the Modeste Bedient Memorial Library in Branchport, I assumed its name came from the last names of two people – one must be Modeste, I thought, and the other must be Bedient. I quickly realized, as local people know, the library is not named for two people but for one person, a woman named Modeste Bedient. Growing up in Pulteney in Steuben County, Modeste aspired to become a librarian or a kindergarten teacher. Upon her marriage to Vincent, though, she became involved in their dairy cattle operation and raising their three children.

When the Bedients purchased two acres of property on State Route 54A, Vincent and Modeste talked about what a perfect site it would be for a new library building. At the time, the Branchport Library was situated on South Main Street in the hamlet in a small house called the Elizabeth Otis Memorial Library (the first woman whose name adorned the library; more on her later). According to Vincent, the purpose in buying the property was to make the approach into Branchport more appealing. On the property sat an old, dilapidated barn that had become an eyesore; the property had been on the market for several years, and the longer it stayed on the market the worse the situation became. So, the Bedients made an offer and bought the land.

When Modeste died of colon cancer in June 2004, Vincent set out to make the couple’s vision for the property come to fruition. He had previously donated a portion of the parcel for the Jerusalem War Memorial, and he again donated the land for the library to be built upon. The Bedient family also donated the construction costs, which amounted to nearly $500,000. After a few hurdles to jump over, construction on the new library building began in summer 2005 and finished in February 2006. The Modeste Bedient Memorial Library opened in March 2006. The opening came after the community pitched in during a three-day effort moving items from the old library to the new building.

The one-story, brick library offers a view of a bird sanctuary and marshland at the northwest corner of Keuka Lake; three leather easy chairs in the reading room especially take advantage of that view. Several rows of oak bookcases held nearly 9,000 volumes with room to expand the library’s collection. There were also computer workstations with internet access, a children’s area, full kitchen, librarian’s office, circulation desk, and 40-seat community room. Modeste’s “gentle smile,” as it is described, greets patrons by way of a portrait near the front door of the building.

“Nobody ever went out of our house without eating. That’s just the way she was. She was a wonderful person,” Vincent said of Modeste’s generosity in a March 2006 Finger Lakes Times article. “It’s [the library] sort of a fitting tribute to my bride. I’m sure she would love it. Although, she would not like her name on the sign. She’d probably be angry at me for doing that. She was pretty shy.”

That is the recent history of the library, which started out as the Branchport Free Library in 1913 and celebrated its centennial in 2013. The distant history of the library, however, goes back to the 1890s and the Branchport Book Club. The members who comprised the club gathered in one another’s homes to discuss and exchange books while enjoying refreshments and conversation. The idea for the Branchport Free Library began when, according to a January 1929 newspaper article, Professor and Mrs. Wendell T. Bush were leaving their summer home at Esperanza and wanted to leave a lasting benefit as a memorial to their stay. Mrs. Bush offered a quantity of books, a set of encyclopedias, and the first $100 to buy books as the means to start a public library, and an association was formed in which each member paid a fee of $1.

A meeting at the home of Verdi and Emma Burtch on December 4, 1912 initially organized the library, which applied to the state for an official state charter the following year. The Branchport Free library opened Saturday, April 12, 1913, occupying a room in the Burtch Building next to the telephone office. Along with money raised from the Bush family and others around the community, people provided shelves, tables, chairs, and other necessities.

The library celebrated its 27th birthday on February 13, 1940 – choosing the date its state charter was granted as its birthday – with plans to give the association a new building exclusively for library use. Rutherford Otis, then elected as a trustee, purchased the Agnes McMinn property on South Main Street in Branchport and aimed to remodel it into a library building that summer. He did so as a memorial to his wife, Elizabeth, who was an active member of the library board and had died in January 1940. The library’s official named changed to the Elizabeth Otis Memorial Library, and the new building opened in July 1940. Much like its successor, this library too featured a portrait of its namesake.

In January 1946, the library board gathered to elect a new secretary and treasurer, after the death of Verdi Burtch in December 1945. Burtch had been the only charter trustee of the library still living, more than 30 years after the organization was chartered.

In 1958, the Branchport Library joined the Southern Tier Library System, which now consists of 48 member libraries. As a result, the library saw an rise in its circulation and an expansion of its services. The library saw the need for an addition its building, particularly for a children’s room, and in 1965 undertook a campaign to raise $3,500 to increase its footprint. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Cooke donated a 59.25x100-foot parcel for the addition.

Construction completed in September 1967 and ended up costing $9,100. The new wing doubled the floor space of the library to accommodate an expansion of services and collections for all ages. More than 100 people gathered that October to dedicate the space. More improvements came in 1987 when the Branchport Hardware Store installed new florescent lights in the reading room. Several community members also contributed toward putting a new fence up around the library. In November 2001, the library reported receiving five computers – four of them for public use – from the Bill and Melissa Gates Foundation.

From the Branchport Free Library to the Elizabeth Otis Memorial Library to the Modeste Bedient Memorial Library, the organization marked 100 years of service to the community in 2013 with the legacy of two women who cared for that service. Add in the Branchport Book Club, and that tradition stretches to 130 years today.

[18thfoot]

25th February 1794 General Sir James Murray was appointed Colonel of the Regiment, succeeding General Sir John Sebright. Murray changed his name to Pulteney for inheritance reasons on 22 July 1794, shortly before marrying his cousin Henriette Pultney in London. Murray was born about 1755, the son of Colonel Robert Murray, a Scottish soldier. He had his first commission purchased for him, in the 19th Foot, when he was still in his mid-teens in 1770. The following year he was a Captain in the 57th Foot, although he did not begin active soldiering until 1775. From 1776 to 1778 he served in America and was wounded twice, at the Battles of Brandywine and White Marsh. In 1778 he purchased a commission as Major in the 4th Foot with whom he served in the West Indies. Still only 25 he purchased the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the 94th Foot in 1780. In 1790 Murray was appointed Colonel and Aide de Camp to King George III. In the same year he was elected to the House of Commons as an MP. Murray served with the Grand Old Duke of York and his 10,000 men in Flanders in 1793 before being promoted to Major General in December. He was back in Holland as Lieutenant General in 1799, where he was once again wounded. By this time he was Pulteney, and he fought his last campaign in an attempt to capture the Spanish naval base at Ferrol in August 1800. Having served in a command in England, Pulteney was appointed Secretary at War in 1807. He died of complications after losing an eye in a hunting accident in Buckenham, Norfolk on 26th April 1811, having been Colonel of the 18th, Royal Irish for 17 years. #18thfoot #royalirishregiment Picture credit https://www.nationalgalleries.org/search/sitter/sir-james-murray-pulteney https://www.instagram.com/p/CpHrBYWtaBl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
