Hapusrwydd yw...talu mwy na cant punt am wirodydd a mae dim ond un botel ar 'nhraul i fy hunan. Mae hi'n oude jenever a mae'n dra dda.

Translation: Happiness is...spending more than $200 on liquor and having but one bottle left for my own use. It's an oude jenever and it's pretty good.

oude jenever

Is that what I think it is?

I don't know what you think it is. Does the name Boomsma say anything to you?

Oh! I see, you italicized it because it was not Welsh, not because it was really important. And yes, it does, which is why I asked!

Some day I have to learn Welsh so that I won't spend lots of time staring at it with my eyes crossed and thinking of Breton.

Don't worry: I have a script that automatically converts Welsh to Breton. Let's see here...

So, does this mean you picked up a bottle of Penderyn at Sam's?

Dw i ddi--I mean, no I didn't. I didn't know they even carried it, but then I didn't know they had begun stocking oude again until the helpful balding bear pointed it out.

They do, but it's fairly pricey: $80 or so for a bottle, IIRC. (I went in shortly after the Welsh fest intending to try it, but the sticker shock defused my curiosity, at least for now.)

That makes even $40 for Gran Duque de Alba seem like a bargain!
