I'd say you might as well quit while you are ahead... you are already
more spot on than I'm ever likely to even approach...  ;)

This was left from the tasting at the Cooking Echo... I don't think I
ever bought any for myself...  I was given some Glenfiddich once, but I
tend to just get the Macallan and the Glenlivet for myself..  :)

And maybe you'll still have some of the 15yo Glenlivet left...  :)

Perhaps...  :)  What is the TUXPOWER echo anyway....?
