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.
