On a wee point of order, I noticed on the "Whisky" map, a reference
to Bushmills, which of course, all Irish and Scottish souls will
confirm is not a whisky, but a whiskey.
For the pedantic, the real name for the the magic brew in the Gàidhlig
language is "Uisge Beatha", meaning "Water of Life", and pronounced
"ooshguh beha". The dreaded English who could barely by this time utter
one word correctly, far less two, decided to call it by the first name
only, which the mistakenly spelled as "whisky". Others, probably even
more dim-witted than my neighbours, compounded the error and the
confusion by adding an "e" to make is "whiskey". I commend you on
your choice of the delightful Speyside single malt Balvenie, but for
non-connoisseurs, I recommend the cheaper, but wonderful blend of malts
known as "The Famous Grouse"

Martin's)
