Whisky
Did
you know that because whisky ‘breathes’ while in the
cask, as much as 4 million gallons evaporates into the air each
year?
Did you know
that Scotch whisky is the only drink to be measured in drams and
the size of a dram is determined by the generosity of the pourer!?
Did you know
the most expensive bottle of spirits ever sold was aged single
malt whisky that went for £6,375?
Did you know
that the phrase ‘the real McCoy’ comes from the prohibition
days in the USA, when Captain Bill McCoy smuggled whisky into
United States?
Did you know
that Queen Victoria enjoyed a daily ‘dram’ in her
tea?
Did you know
that an ounce and a half of Scotch whisky has fewer calories that
half a pint of beer or a glass of wine?
A
Scottish Toast
May the best you’ve ever seen,
Be the worst you’ll ever see.
May the mouse ne’er leave your girnal
Wi’ a tear drap in it’s e’e
May your lum keep blithely reekin’
Till ye’re auld enough to dee.
May you aye be just as happy
