Bottles of the single malt, made by the English Whisky Company, will each carry an image of St George slaying the dragon.

At first I thought it was that new Beer thats £30 a bottle and 32% alcohol, and has to be drunk like a spirit.

Yep they seem outraged.

The Scottish Whisky Association has welcomed the venture, despite the misgivings of some Scots.

Some of the non-Scotch whiskies are pretty tasty.

I like a good swig of whiskey late in the evening. 1 or 2 a night, every night.

English Parliament? Would the lack of one, be tolerated in any other part of the World?

I have modified the thread title, as technically only Scotch is spelled 'whisky'. If it comes from anywhere else, it's 'whiskey', in recognition of the fact that it's not quite the same.

Around here, it's L-A-G-E-R. Or, if you're picky, T-E-N-N-E-N-T-S.

At one time, all whisky was spelled without the "e", as "whisky". In around 1870, the reputation of Scottish whisky was very poor as Scottish distilleries flooded the market with cheaper spirits produced using the Coffey still. The Irish and American distilleries adopted the spelling "whiskey", with the extra "e", to distinguish their higher quality product.

Actually, if you drink Tennents, you're the opposite of picky. Yikes. I've had dishwater that tasted better...
