Thanks P1M, I am just trying to decide if I should christen it with Dalwhinnie, Laphroaig, Highland Park, or the Dalmore. I think the Dalmore will be first, as it used to be owned by the MacKenzie clan, and still features part of their badge on the bottle.

I've always wanted to get one of these, but my wife tells me that her Italian relatives will not, under any circumstance, drink from the same cup as someone because of "germs" and one of the (IMHO) ridiculous supersitions her Sicilian relatives have.

I love the idea of the common welcoming cup!

What do they think about the common chalice at Mass then? :mrgreen:

Colin: very well done indeed! A splendid way to extend the ancient right of hospitality to all who cross your threshhold.

Slainte!

Already tried that one, buddy. Most of them are quite old and don't take the chalice when offered because they're just not used to it.

The younger ones (and I use that term relatively) say, "That's different," and refuse to elaborate.

Sometimes you just have to smile and nod.

Nice Colin, very nice!

When I was attending Catholic services one of my friends who was also catholic was extremely germ-o-phobic. Constantly washing her hands, wouldn't get near someone sick, wouldn't use a public restroom or drink from a water fountain. But she had no problem with the common chalice at mass. So I had to ask what was the difference. Her answer was for me a testament of faith and I was actually impressed at the power of faith to overcome something that otherwise ruled her life. What was her answer? "Since the wine becomes the blood of Christ it becomes perfect and the perfect Christ cannot transmit disease and suffering only salvation." For those who don't believe in transubstantiation it might seem silly, but to me it seems like a beautiful example of faith.

Colin,

A simple and likely silly question. How is the word Quaich pronunced?

Cheers
