This was supposed to be a private mailer, but it seems us undergrads can't access uucp..... simon@einode points out that whiskey is used as a basis for a lot of mixes.. a matter of taste - but then again, maybe whiskey *has* to be drunk as a blend.. :-) seriously, i don't claim to be a whisky conniseur but we do produce better single malts - best drunk the way the lord made 'em. ttfn, --rick

However is that oldest as in "oldest registered and legal"? While we're on the subject of whisky, can I commend to your palate a whisky from my home town (The Whisky capital of the world in 1864) Springbank 12 yr old Sherry cask Matured 100 deg This is so good that I `import' a case every so often, and offer some for sale. I usually have trouble keeping one for myself! There we go chauvenisim and jingoism in one posting! -- Regards, Andrew Macpherson. <andrew@tcom.stc.co.uk> {backbone}!ukc!stc!andrew

Simon points out that Bushmill's is the oldest whiskey distillery in the world. oldest ain't neccessarily best...cf Ronald Reagan..... having said that, black bush is okay - but if you ever get a chance to try caol ila, don't miss it! --rick
