When staying in Edinburgh in '95 at the house of a friend, I was delighted 
to discover that the glass of Macallan whisky he proffered me was part of a 
case of 50 year old in cask, single malt given to him about 20 years earlier 
by his best man  - a director of Macallan - as a wedding present. He - a 
true Scot - was eaking his way through the gift, and I was indeed privileged 
to join in the eaking!

As a true blue Irishman, I nail my colours to the mast in favour of Irish 
whiskey, but, on tasting that particular nectar, I have to admit I was 
swayed..... <grin>
