Now Bobble Tiki knows what you’re thinking: Scotch is what fat old men drink while discussing the war, the Truman administration or something equally archaic. However, thanks to increased American interest, and more distilleries handling their own bottling, single malt scotch whisky has become one of the most interesting and accessible liquors.
Bobble Tiki leans toward the Islay scotches, including his favorite Laphroaig.  Stanley & Seaforts, which brags that it has the largest selection of single malt scotches in Tacoma, adds half a shot of Laphroaig to its Collection Martini, giving the Ketel One treat a bit of smoky flavor, thus its former title â€" Smokey Martini. 
Bobble Tiki recommends grabbing one of these puppies this weekend and watch the people dart around Chihuly, from atop the hill.  Just remember Bobble Tiki’s rule: “Martinis are like a woman’s breasts. One is not enough, and three is too many.” 115 E. 34th St., Tacoma, (253) 473-7300. â€" Bobble Tiki
