I developed a taste for whiskey in Ireland in the seventies and for decades only drank Irish Whiskey (or rye if the bar didn’t have the Irish variety). My tastes changed the night David poured us a wee dram of Highland Park Scotch. Now I usually prefer to drink Scottish Whisky, the smokier the better.
I have to deal with the various spellings of whiskey/whisky in my fly-fishing-history job. It can drive one to drink.
Ha!
What a lovely place to be driven to.
With both Scottish and Irish heritage, I really should develop a taste for whiskey/whisky. Maybe I should make it my goal for the year?
