On whiskies
Downstairs, on the cabinet in the living room there are three bottles, each containing a whisky from a different country.
Not one of them is from Scotland. Or Ireland. Or Kentucky. Or Tennessee. Or even Canada or Japan.
(Not that I object to a Yamazaki Single Malt.)
What I have are a Welsh Whisky - Penderyn.
An English Whisky - the rather tasty youngling from the English Distillery Company.
And the newest arrival, found in a shop in Gare de L'Est in Paris: Whisky de Lorraine.
It's interesting, and it's definitely a whisky. But I have to say, I don't like it as much as the other two.
(For those that wonder, I do have a whole bunch of whiskies in the dining room.)
I'm still trying to find a bottle of a Swiss Whisky I once saw (named Swisskey, IIRC).

(Islays are my preferred style of Scotch, I have to admit.)
