Gents (& ladies),

don't know much about aviation, but I've had plenty of experience of whiskies.

As such -

it's uisge beatha (tr. the water of life), pr "ooshke baa"

it's Slainte Mhath (tr "Good Health"), pr "slanche va"

Tain's most famous export is Glen morangie (the morangie rhyming with orangey).

There's only one proper way to drink Malt whisky, and that's exactly how you want to drink it. Me, I prefer it with a generous helping of ice cubes which melt into a delicious whisky flavoured water. If you wish it with water, or lemonade, or coke, or whatever else takes your fancy then that's just fine by me. Although it should, wherever possible, be drunk out of a nice wide, good quality crystal glass.

There, feel better now, off for a wee snifter before bed, Highland Park at this time of night, me thinks.
