[Leica] Global Scotch shortage looms

[Douglas Barry]

Ted, Ted, Ted, tut, tut, TUT! IRISH SCOTCHES????? We've been making whiskey 
longer than the Jocks, so it should really be SCOTCH IRISHES!

I'd go for a simple Jameson 12 (12 years in barrel and triple distilled) and 
a step up from the basic Irish whiskeys. In fact, I have a bottle in the 
other room and must have a tincture. My typing may suffer as a result.....
