Hey Wilfred!

 WvV> Irish whisky's have their own specific tastes, which you can't
 WvV> compare too well with the Scotisch single malts I think.

True.  However I still like Irish whisky albiet not as much as single malt 
scotch.  I don't drink all that often so cost isn't as big as a factor as it 
would be if I did drink more often, and given that I'd probably buy more Irish 
whisky ... or perhaps even Canadian whisky.

Speaking of Canadian whisky, especially aged single malts, the 15yo "Battle of 
the Glen" has my interest which happens to be more expensive then comparable 
Scottish single malts.  Given the claim that they were the first North American 
distillers of single malt whisky, they just might be worth the additional cost. 
 After all being located in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia which is probably the most 
Scottish locale outside of Scotland they could have what it takes to make a 
winner.  The biggest problem is that they are located on the opposite side of 
North America and it is vastly easier to find and purchase a Scottish single 
malt scotch than it is to find and buy a Canadian whisky whose distillery is on 
the other side of the country.  Odd that it would be true, but it is.

Life is good,
Maurice
