[Leica] IMGs X 9: The CoVid Chronicles 16 - Bushmills

[Jean-Michel Mertz]

Douglas, I've always considered whisky to be good for the body, be it Scotch or Irish, so I can only agree with your medical approach to this beverage. Lagavulin is out of reach for me these days - I think it is way too expensive - so my daily intake is a dram, or two, of Bushmills, the basic one. It's Northern Irish, so sorry, but this is a friendly, "smooth and mellow" blend (of single malts, though) one may drink any time of the day. Sláinte Mhaith! JM

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.
