Yep... whiskey is Irish. I believe whisky is some kind of floor cleaner from Scotland (Takes cover against incoming Gaelic barrage!!) Darren.

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 Dinner
Evening Darren, Speaking as a Jock, can I just say that whisky does indeed taste like floor cleaner! I hate the taste of the stuff and beer as well. I like a nice glass of wine personally especially the fine fruit wines from Perth shire, Cairn O'Mhor. (Care no more!) Try them. The Bramble is like a fine port. The raspberry is divine. Avoid the strawberry unless you like sweeet wine. We have a bottle of 2000 Banana in the wine rack. Whiskey I cannot comment on as I would never bring myself to even taste anything whisky like. And finally, I hope everyone enjoys the evening and the food. It's neeps by the way! Neaps are tides. ;-) Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 Dinner
Already underway :) I am a whiskey drinker thanks to both my grandad and dad. But only the really good stuff - typically Bushmills malt (the 10 year old one at a minimum) and Jameson crested ten. But I have to say some of the aged Scottish stuff is pretty good too. Dimple and Glenfiddich being favourites. Darren.

I am really glad no one is spoiling MacAllen on you! Or Bowmore, Lagavulin, Bruichladdich, Port Ellen or Ardbeg! Greetings from Germany where single cask malts from Scotland are very welcome.
