Those Scot's do love there whiskey.

There is a legend in golf that says there are 18 holes on a golf couse because a bottle of whiskey only holds 18 shots,and when the Scots ran out,drinking a shot per hole, the round was over.

At $28,916.99 a bottle, that's one expensive round of golf.

The best time I had in Edinburgh was had by walking into bars and asking them to give me something I couldn't pronouce. Had one bartender pull out a bottle of something he said *he* couldn't pronounce the name of.

Of course, by the end of the night I wasn't capable of pronouncing "beer".

60 years old. Wow. Scotch loses 2% of its volume per year in the cask. Think about how much scotch evaporated away in the last 20 years of aging. And then think about how many time in your life you'll drink 40 year scotch. You better start with something *really* special before letting it age that long.

Personal favorite: 20 year old Dallas Dhu. If you ever see it, try it. Speyside. Yummy.

You learn the oddest things on FR. Never heard that about golf and whisky. Even if its not true, it's good.
