Here it is:
In Ireland, they roast the malted barley in closed ovens; in Scotland, they roast the malted barley over open peat fires. The true malted barley flavor is released without the masking from the peat smoke. Irish whiskey is distilled thrice, scotch whisky only twice. Good Irish whiskey is lighter and smoother than its Scottish counterpart.
Is this true? If it is - should we insult the Scots before OR after we play there?
BTW - I will PM you and Dave about the latest developments from this side of the pond.... |
You forgot the most important bit...we invented it! These Scots boys came across the irish sea, stole it and messed up the process, getting an inferior brew which they tehn insisted in changing the spelling
