My guess is that it is a linguistic thing.
The combination of the "bl" and "br" sounds is softer on the ear in that sequence.
Perhaps Ms. Croft would know, I believe it is her field of expertise?
Additionally, there are many cunning linguists on this board.
blonde on brunette ... brunette on blonde ... both sound good to me ... ca m'est égal
Very astute, many aficionados believe that past 20 years or so there is not a quality improvement, in fact some say that there is a degradation after that point.
I can't locate it in the LCBO search.

I found a website describing the distillery.

Are you purchasing this in Ontario ?
Have some French toast,
what do you take in your coffee ?
The term hero can have a spectrum of definitions, from the traditional concept of giving ones life to save another, to a simple act of kindness with no thought of reward.
A few examples. At one end would be those who receive military decorations. I am considering posting about a friend of mine who passed away in October of '08 as an example. At the other end might be a nurse who provides care for the poor and underprivileged on a volunteer basis. For many, but not all, one of their parents such as their mother could indeed be a hero. Speak to a single mother of a profoundly disabled child and you will see the definition encompasses a large array of actions.
Ultimately it is my choice on a given day, and sometimes I will be wrong.
As for questioning my choice, feel free. Friends do not always agree. But when you disagree there is never a need to be disagreeable ( BTW: I don't think you were disagreeable just a little strident).
If you don't mind the hair put the Sheltie on your lap. I find it impossible to be harsh while she is sitting on my lap.
A hair of the dog that bit me please ... I'm not refering to your Sheltie of course ... You're sure she won't bite?
Exactly.
That's not one of mine !!!
Oh shit, I'm going to end up with a third one.
WHOSE DOG IS THIS ....... WHOSE DOG IS THIS ....... ANYONE.
Agreed, I'll see about making some lunch.
I was listening to a couple of the French soldiers that rescued the guy. They said the reason for his survival was that the building collapsed all around him creating a small tomb but he was completely untouched, and within the tomb were some cans of cola and Guinness so that he had liquid to drink.
His picture should now be in every dictionary next to the definition of luck.
Yes I bought it in Ontario a few years back, had it the first time at a tasting in Kingston. I guess it didn't sell here well enough or dod and the distillery decided not to pay the shelving fee again for what they got in sales. it can be $10,00 per label. Now you know why you don't see many small winery labels on the LCBO shelves.
Contact the distillery and ask why. They'd love to tell you. I've done it a few times with wines and beer and SURPRISE, there it is again.
The degradation does happen and becomes very apparent at 40+. The point of diminishing returns begins at about 15 yrs very slightly and I feel you start not getting your money back at 21yrs +. I have but don't like to turn over $90.00 on anything at the LCBO, especially over-priced Scotches, although some are cheaper here than in Scotland.
Thanks for the edification ... unfortunately sounds remarkably like myself ... I gotta stop drinking this stuff!
I wonder which cunninglinguist SP of the Day would go best with syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon?Have some French toast,
Would they know French toast translated to French is "pain perdue", which translates back as "lost bread".
which reminds me, I seem to have lost all my bread last night ... could you possibly lend me $250 and some maple syrup?
I've wondered in the past about other similar examples: ladies and gentlemen, men and women. A few other examples escape me at the moment, however I believe it is the word with the fewer syllables which comes first.
Yeah, like beans and weiners. But what about bacon and eggs!? Some food for thought... ;-)
Hey Lagavulin, what are the chances of rustlin' up some grub?? It sounds like we have a hungry little lady here! Mmmm, maybe some French toast too, or did that get lost already? My French isn't up to date, but I think her sig says she is a Filet of Joy... could I have one of those, just warm to the touch?? And a little something sweet to wash it down.
Nah, that sequence isn't any softer - saying 'black and brown' seems equally as natural as saying 'brown and black'. Me thinks it is a syllable thing.

I'm always hungry. ;-)
