What a marvelous coincidence...  The barrel was laid down on the day that I
celebrated my eighth birthday!  A nice Scot connection as well, since the
26th is but a day after the anniversary of the birth of the immortal poet of
Scotland, Robert Burns.

Now, for the multitudes of you out there pondering what to get me for my
59th, coming this month on Super Bowl Sunday, the answer is plain as day!
Once you have the bottle and it's ready to ship, I'll provide my address.

Best from Wake - and Slainte!
