Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Balvenie Portwood.


The scotch is aged 21 years in barrels that originally stored port.

'Tis a thing of beauty, I tell you.

Sure, about $140 a bottle, but it's worth it.

its the Gaelic they used to speak before they were opressed into speaking english (or waht passes for it anyway :P)

Why did England want Scotland, anyway?  You can't grow shit, and it's full of Scotsmen.

Cause if they weren't occupying the Scots the Scots might have occupied them. 
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

the Scots could never conquer England until they have first dealt with their traditional mortal enemy, the Scots.

The Balvenie Doublewood is my newfound casual drinking scotch.  I'll have to try this one out if I ever have the cash.

I was assuming it was on the AN...

I still can't figure out if the ICH in Glenfiddich is prounounced 'ick' or 'itch' or if the ET in Glenlivet is a hard T as in 'bet' or if it's just not prounced, like an 'eh'.

I believe it's pronounced "Glen-fid-dick".

Glenfiddich is pronounced with a Scottish "CH", like how we do with Loch - a K, softened slightly and pronounced from the back of the mouth and tongue and drawn out slightly longer.

The T in Glenlivet is hard.

Glenmorangie is pronounced Glen-Moran-Jee.

That is ALL spags.

You're lucky I don't come over there and do Scottish things to you with a broken whiskey bottle.
