Apologies for continued thread drift -
No, whisky - whilst Keo brandy was potable, their whisky was not - it was a clear, colourless liquid....looked like Vodka, burned like poor quality paraffin. Pip Witts (vernable and venerated pipe smoking wet man) was given a bottle once as some sort of present (I cannot remember what it was meant to commemorate) and he quite sensibly tested its flammability in preference to drinking any.
Mind you, Pip always drank G&T anyway.
Back onto thread, it seems I DO have some advice for the Op, if the Col offers you a Keo whisky DO NOT DRINK IT.
