Thanks Jayanand, and reading about your pragmatic approach to your booze 
supplies - best first, others next - I decided, despite being on a dry 
streak, a course of antibiotics, and it being before lunch, to have a 
5ml spoon of Scotch purely for medicinal purposes, so dipped into an 
opened 24 year old Glen Marnoch which I picked up four or five years ago 
as a supermarket special offer. Its peatiness warmed the cockles of my 
cold heart, but I far prefer the smoother taste of Irish whiskey which I 
think is the best whiskey in the world. Sorry Scotland, but we Irish do 
the important things right :-)

When I finish the antibiotics, I'll be opening a bottle of 12 year old 
Jameson Redbreast to celebrate.
