see the hole in the ground! I’m guessing that the Still Pot would have been located above that ‘fire pit’
The archeologist would have found remnants of grains from the mash in and around the pit.

It is a shame that the arbiters of political correctness have banished Apu Nahasapeemapetilon from the Simpsons.
I just found out Apu has a last name.

All you get in aged whiskey is the taste of charred wood.
(FWIW, only the Scots spell it "whisky"; there is no such thing as "Scotch whiskey.")

Where I live the Indian owner of the convenience store is about the most popular guy in town.
Always smiling, upbeat and jovial, despite working gawdawful hours and risking armed robbery every day.

"Kind Edward I.” An autocomplete/spell check classic." The closest Scotland ever came to a monarch named Edward was Edward Balliol, who died in 1367. Edward I of England (Longshanks) died in 1307. Henry VII was on the English throne in 1494.

Whiskey doesn’t get any better after about 20 years. It may even get worse. The moment spirits are bottled, they quit aging. If it wasn't good when it was bottled, it won't ever be good.

Exactly so. In order to ‘age’ it must be in burnt oak barrels. The longer it ages, the less bitter the taste and the smoother the drink. Time is money, so it costs a wee bit more.....................
