    When my father died we held his wake in a hotel in Inverness and my step brother bought me a dram and I really enjoyed it so asked for another. I later found out it was Glenmorangie Pride 1974. It was £170 for a single. Delicious though!

    Well sir, I have to admit that your knowledge regarding the English language is amazing. I recently started studying the Cambridge method in order to master the English language, but I wonder what or who caused you to speak this language so fluently.
    As for the Whisky, you seem to catch my interest as well. Thanks to people like you I would like to try more kinds of whisky every time I get the opportunity to do so.
