This Outlander review/recap/commentary/list/whatever is brought to you by Laphroaig Quarter Cask. In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m basically going through the Scotch whiskies that were featured in Scotch Tasting with Sam Heughan and Kristin Dos Santos. It’s not the same Laphroaig as in the tasting, but the Quarter Cask was on sale. It’s very smokey.
Outlander is gearing up for its season 1 finale; “The Watch” signifies the beginning of the end. Jamie and Claire’s peaceful life at Lallybroch couldn’t last, lest the show lose its male viewers. (Some were bored with last week’s episode which focused on Jamie’s personal growth.) The idyllic life came to an abrupt end last week in the form of a gun pointed at Jamie’s head. If you didn’t guess the perpetrator of this abomination, it was the Watch, those pesky highwaymen who are loyal only to the highest bidder.
