Please indulge me for a moment for being totally off topic but whiskey is 
Irish, whisky is Scottish.
Being Scottish I can sign my old family name of Sluagadach, which is Irish 
Gaelic for "Leader of a military expedition".........  Was one of those for 
27 years!  Isn't history interesting.  The end....  Sorry for the bandwidth.
