Hey Nancy!

 NB> But, like you, wouldn't mind sharing someone else's buy

That is always the ultimate with a good friend.  It is also true if I am the 
one buying but only the cheaper usual suspects such as Glenlivet 12yo.

 NB> Ah, but I do have more information that I've learned over the
 NB> years...

From my perspective the word 'Scotch' implies it was made in Scotland and 
therefore a Canadian whisky should never use that particular word on the label 
as it would be deemed as false advertising as far as I the consumer is 
concerned.

 NB> and a book about single malt Scotch varieties....

That helps.

 NB> Exactly what I said except for the Canadian not being restricted
 NB> to barley....

From my limited experience rye seems to be the more common usual suspect when 
it comes to Canadian whisky.  I an't recall the last time I ever had a Canadian 
whisky.  Irish whisky (Bushmill's) wasn't too many years ago and was enjoyable 
but I can honestly say wasn't as good as Glenlivet.

 NB> the other suspects don't read here, do they...?

True.  One has threatened to join up but hasn't lately.  I think the last time 
he read/posted was long before you and I started talking about Scotch.

 NB> unless my brother actually came for a visit and sat down with me
 NB> to imbibe.... ;)

Doesn't he supply the bottle when that happens?  Seems to me we discussed 
proper single malt Scotch etiquette awhile back and agreed that it was good 
manners for your brother to be the supplier when visiting.  No?

Life is good,
Maurice
