Sorry but I'm not convinced.

Scottish applies to most things, but beef and whisky are Scotch. Well that's what my Dad told me, and he was a proud Scot born in Muir-of-Ord!

How do we spell it when it’s made in Yorkshire. My son in law bought me this and it’s very nice to :thumbsup: tastes very much like Speyside Whisky

An old pal of mine from Edinburgh took his old father into a pub in NE England many years ago when he came for a visit to the "south"- He bought him a pint and a Whisky, It was a whisky produced in England unfortunately - The old boy took one drink and immediately spat it out onto the floor exclaming "Am no drinking that English Sh*te"

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

You clearly aren't an aficionado - whisky is Scottish, whiskey is Irish!
Corrected for you
Yes, well I remember Arthur Daley having the same problem. No, I would much rather have a nice bottle of Speckled Hen or Bishops Tipple beer any day. Or a nice glass of Cava or Prosecco. Apologies to any Scott’s on here.

whiskey/whisky is definitely an acquired taste. i think i'm still 30 years away from acquiring it...

at the moment my favorite drink is Fruli, a Belgian strawberry wheat beer...

My part of the apartment. :) Personally, I love Jura, but I also like The Glenrothes!
