To experience the taste, buy a bottle of one of the western malts (e.g. Laphroig) and stick it in the freezer. Cold and very peaty. |

Don't open it!!!! That's how they stopped the Blob! or maybe it has the remains of The Thing from Another World! |

So, is it whiskey or whisky? I'd assume the latter, but anything's possible. (This piece of TMP pedantry brought to you by the letter "e".  ) |

According to dictionary.com, both spellings are correct, although the main entry is the "ey" spelling. |

No "E" cos it's Scotch (besides it says so on the side of the crate). |

Whiskey traditionally for the Irish varients only please; every thing else is crap! LOL- j/k everything else is whisky; except American distillers who use both spellings. |

They owe it to modern whisky drinkers to recreate the original tipple! |

Excuse me! I claim that bottle.
He was my uncle Ernest! (or so my dad always used to say)

I read this a while back. It's certainly good news. I hope they recreate the blend. |
