[Dixielandjazz] Islay

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

AHHHH not so fast Marek :

Many a hard lot sipper of single malt here in the USa that I have met 
have ulcers and therefore do drink their single malt in milk  so that 
would make it a really much tastier malted milk than the normal swill 
me thinks.

Tom, who still prefers Spanish Brandies and American Sour Mash to most 
of the malts, unless of course there is none of it available. :))

   OK, but you have not emphasised the importance of Islay (oh, those
peaty malts; for American readers - that means malt whisky, not malted
milk!).
Cheers
