Listen you Texas longhorn.Today along with the Pipe Major of our RCAF esteemed pipe band,I was privileged to have both the haggis AND a single malt scotch whiskey called and I quote "The Antiquary".It is not for sale in Canada.The only way to obtain a bottle here is to order it or have a good friend travelling in the UK bring it back to you.Don't and I repeat DON'T let this fine elixor of Scotland get anywhere near WATER.It has an affinity adverse to water.Let me put it this way.This stuff is sooo smooooth,it'll be a half hour before it arrives at the destination,and by this time you'd probably have had three more drams

"The Antiquary"! You're a lucky man! I can smell the burning peat from here. I hope the Pipe Major not only had on his kilt and sporran, but like a proper Scotsman, had his dirk secreted upon his body.
They say a true aficiando of "usquebaugh" can tell where it was distilled by it's smokiness. I can only aspire to such knowledge. And, yes, when it comes to whiskey, NEATness counts! I do however enjoy a fine cigar alongside a dram of usquebaugh, the two go hand-in-hand so well. Try this if you haven't already...dip the non-lit end of a really good cigar in your glass of whiskey periodically as you smoke it. The taste is truly sublime!...and if you happen to have a little haggis to complement the other two...............




CHIMO!
