Scotch is WhiskY - -----Original Message----- From: John Tobias [mailto:johntobias@hotmail.com] Sent: 21 March 2002 08:48 To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Scottish whiskey shortage...Totally off Topic As a Native Scot you should realise that "scotch" is a vernacular term for whiskey used by non-scottish people! what we are talking about here is finest Scottish whiskey (as opposed to that awful japanese stuff or similar. If you like Lagavuillin, then try Laphroig, also made with the peaty water of the island of Islay (pronounced i-la)...not quite as "smokey" flavour but brilliant none-the-less. My tipple....well I know an 18yr old Macallan cannot be beaten, its even better than the 25yr old version (according to the still-man at the distillery) The secret...they mature it in single-use sherry casks which impart a very distinctive flavour....try it ...YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPPOINTED but for heavens sake add only a tiny bit of water...NOTING ELSE, and certainly NO ICE!!!! Enjoy, its our national drink!
