Scotch without the smoked peat.

My aforementioned son-in-law and his Dad are Irish. They have tried all kinds of them, and it kinda makes me sad I don’t drink anymore so I could try some of them. They can tell me all about the differences in taste, and it’s fascinating listening to them, but alas…
My Irish son-in-law’s favorite drink? Sake. Go figure.
