Maybe getting bopped in the head
affected my vocabulary, a doubly
embarassing mistake since my
last name is Davidson, from clan
Daibd. At any rate, have you ever
tried "The Famous Grouse?" It
was enjoyable at the Highland Games,
but I don't know if it was the Scotch
or the ambiance of the games.

I will consult with our local and see if they have, or can get it.
I need to pick out a bottle of single-malt in the $80 range as a
reward for, well, something that's happening in January. I'm leaning
towards the Balvenie 21-year Port-wood casked, any thoughts?

But, like boiling bratwurst in beer, it's not an excuse to use bad
beer. They go well in Guinness, but I'm sure it makes (some of) my
ancestors weep to do so. Probably the best thing to do with something
like that, aside from soaking a fruitcake in it.

ANY of the Balvenies would be a good choice. Just make sure you savour it
like Andy....... Sniff it for a good a long time before swallowing!!!

I don't really know - I just heard it on the radio, it was a good year
for blackberries and I'd hate anyone to think that I actually drank
B*lls.

You take berries, and pour whisky over to cover. I just dropped
berries into the bottle and fed the spillage to the cat. Sugar to
taste (I haven't yet) and leave for 3 months.

Supposedly you drink the whisky, but you can still eat the
blackberries with ice cream. They appear to have turned a fish-like
pale pink though (and the Scotch is the colour of port), so I'm not
sure they'll look too good bare.

Please explain a bit more, mee boyo. I have not heard of stuffing
a bottle of scotch whiskey with blackberries. Is this supposed to
be a delicacy? Which would be the delicacy, the scotch or the
berries?

Only Scotch blend worth drinking.

I was given a bottle of B*ll's a while back. It's sitting in the
kitchen now, stuffed full of blackberries. I've never tried this
before, but I plan to try it an Christmas. I'm hardly going to drink
B*ll's otherwise, and if I've ruined it, then it was no great loss.
