A line from a song remembered from my youth ;

"That Queen Anne might rule this land, the Haigs the Bay o' Biscay, mind there's ae thing the Scots aye rule, an' that's the makin' o'the whisky"

Dont think they picked the best of Scottish Whisky tho, Langs is only good when mixed with coke  :z13

Also if its not distilled in Scotland it aint Whisky  :z18

Hi Tam,
I´v never heard of these blends so you have probably right, they taste best with coke.  :cool:

Imagine this. Outside a cold north wind blows and temperature is -15.
It´s Friday evening and the dinner is over, take a sit in the armchair with the new issue of your Flyfishing magazine,  with a wee dram of Lagavulin, thats life.  :grin
