Hey Wilfred!

 WvV> Or whisky and whiskey and bourbon? ;)

Sure.  But you brought up the bourbon not me.  I have no plans involving 
bourbon.

 WvV> "male"? Is that a typo or intentional?

A typo.  Sorry if it caused any confusion.  :-)

 WvV> (like Jamesons) I find them closer to Bourbon's than to the
 WvV> Scotish single malts

I've never had Jamesons but I thought Bushmills was closer in taste to Scottish 
single malts than to bourbon.

 WvV> I have for instance an unopened Connemara peated single malt here

That sounds interesting.  I'll have to look that one up.

As for the Glen Bretons, the Glenora Distillery makes around 11 offerings of 
their single malts, the "Battle of the Glen" 15yo being the one that captures 
my eye.

I think any of them could be directly comparable to any Scottish single malt 
whisky.

 MK>> heard that the Irish added that in to spite the Scots.  ;-)

 WvV> That won't surprise me at all, if true. ;)

It brought a smile to my face when I read it.  I believe the article was about 
Irish distilleries attempting to recapture the whisky market from the Scottish. 
 They claim to be the first and that the Scots stole their business.

Life is good,
Maurice
