OT Whiskey

[newshound]

= "lively water" or "water of life".

As, of course, is Aqua Vitae, Eau de vie, Akvavit, and several other derivatives

My preference is for the cheapest of the cheap mixed with Coke for a long drink or a decent Highland single malt, totally unadulterated for a proper drink.

Islay whisky is totally _foul_. It tastes of freshly-cut bakelite (not that I eat or otherwise ingest bakelite, BYKWIM).

I still love bakelite as a material though...

[charles]

then how do you know what it tastes like?

[Grimly Curmudgeon]

Oh, come now; who amongst us here of a certain age didn't chew a bit of Bakelite as a child?

You have no taste. Sir.
