your words infer indecent whisky?

Not quite - they imply it (-:

It's true. There is such a thing. Vile stuff I had in Bulgaria.



now there is something to drop into a conversation, "As bad as Bulgarian
whisky".
It strikes me as one of those usefully outlandish comparisons that lodge in
ones memory

Not me, I always spell whiskey with an "e" unless I am specifically
talking about Scotch.

Then you're wrong (aren't you always?). Whiskey with an 'e' properly
refers to that made in Ireland only. There is a tradition of spelling it
with an 'e' in the USA, but the official spelling is whisky. That made
in, eg, Canada, Japan, India, Wales, etc., is spelt whisky.

Consider yourself educated.

I did not say I was right, even though I probably am.

I said that was how I spelled it. You try telling the Americans they
can't spell and their spelling is merely a "tradition" and they will
immediately refer to Webster.

Jim! lol

Consider yourself corrected.


I doubt it could sink in that far. Too dense!
