To add a bit of cultural commentary to this, my friends north of Hadrian's
Wall tell me that Scotch is either whiskey or tape, but the people are
Scottish.  I also, echo Jerry's appreciation of Indigo's hard work on our
behalf.

This is only meant as constructive criticism:
I believe Crown Royal is a blend of Canadian whiskeys and
therefore shouldn't be confused with Scotch.
I apologize to anyone who thinks this info is not
suitable for this List Serve. I am a Scotch drinker and was
a bartender in a previous life. To me this is important stuff.
And once again, Indigo, I thank you for the time you
put into this and the other sites.
