Whiskey

[derek kelly]

Has anyone ever wondered why Whiskey is so called.

Well am gonna tell yer,

It all started a long long time ago in bonnie Scotland when Mac & Jock were seeing who could make the strongest alchohol,

One day Mac invited Jock over to sample his offering, well after copious amounts of the stuff the pair of them were absolutely blotto, but they still didn't have a name for the drink, anyway Mrs Mac came home from shopping and found mac slumped in the Garden eating a kebab, "Just look at the state of you" she said "Get off yer arse and let me in the hoose" so Mac stood up and stumbled to the door and began fumbling around in his pockets looking for his key "What yer bin drinking?" asked Mrs Mac just as Mac slurred "where's key". Mrs mac thought he was answering her question and said 'Whiskey'

Surely she would have said 'Whisky'

unless she had an Irish accent?

I dunno I wasn't there, you could be right mind you it might have been liam Neeson playing the part like he did in Rob Roy.

For non-whisk(e)y drinkers

From Scotland i.e. Scotch - whisky
From Ireland - whiskey

And the flavours are a miles apart as well. (and I like them both!)

If you can drink Black Bush all night without water you're a better man than I am gunga din! :bow:
