    Much like the daily issue of Rum in the Royal Navy...the daily "tot ration" was done away with in the 1970's for similar reasons...

    Sounds like a great time, Freelander...did they have any of the Macallan?

    I just found out that a Cumming was the founder of the Cardhu distillery; now I'm going to have hunt down a bottle of that for the Clan tent at the games so I can give new "recruits" a "wee dram" when they sign up!

    Slainte!

    Interesting story about the dram line: the Coors Brewery out here in Golden used to have taps in all the cafeterias at the plant(s), but they discontinued the custom about the same time (rumour has it due to a driver accident).

    On the uisge beatha side of things, I've never tried the 18 or 25 Talisker ( I do like the 10 I've had), but I very much liked the 25 Macallan and Highland Park I've tried. Did you enjoy the 25? How did it compare?
