[Isabo]

I like Macallan even if it is overmarketed in Italy and has become a bit of a poseurs drink. Islay is good, but on the whole I prefer Speyside whiskies. The Irish also make valid contributions to the art. However, it's cold and damp tonight so I think a shot or two of Lagalvulin would be the snort of choice.
Years ago there use to be a whisky bar on Lake Garda that would write off your tab if you requested a malt they couldn't supply. The malt would have to be listed in a reference directory they had for your tab to be written off.
