Single malt Scotch

Good Morning friends

Single malt Scotch is single malt whisky made in Scotland.

To be a single malt scotch the whisky must have been distilled at a single distillery using a pot still distillation process and made from a mash of malted grain.

Several types of grains can be malted (for example, barley, rye and wheat). But in Scotland, the only grain allowed to be used in a single malt whisky is barley.

As with any Scotch whisky, a single malt Scotch must be distilled in Scotland and matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years and one day.

The age statement on a bottle of single malt Scotch is the number of years the whisky spent maturing in casks.

Don't drink and drive.

Have a great festive season.

A Weekend full of Rivalries!!!!

Dearest friends

In all competitive events, there is one major match, clash or a face-a face that triggers more interest than the usual one.

The one that is more pickled…Like The Blue Jays versus the Baltimore Orioles or the Ottawa Senators versus the Toronto Maple Leaves.

And this weekend, we will be blessed by two of these great games…. Soccer Games :)

While the media will be focused on the revenue generating Manchester City derby…The Guardiola’s Versus The Mourinho’s.

However, the real spicy one will be further north in Scotland…...The Old Firm Derby in the city of Glasgow between the two local rivals Rangers and Celtic

A rivalry based on the divide in Glasgow at the time of the clubs’ formation, more nuanced than simply a religious conflict between Protestant Rangers and Catholic Celtic but also between those from a predominantly Ulster heritage and those with roots in Leinster, Munster and Connacht.

Though much of the sectarian discrimination prevalent in the city for generations has been tackled, the hostility between supporters of the two clubs remains intense, giving Old Firm matches a piercing pitch unrivalled in Europe.

“You could take all the derby matches in the world and put them together and they still wouldn't equal one-millionth of the Old Firm,” said Paolo Di Canio. “There's nothing like it."

Have a great Weekend.
