Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> But, like you, wouldn't mind sharing someone else's buy   
      
   That is always the ultimate with a good friend.  It is also true if I am the   
   one buying but only the cheaper usual suspects such as Glenlivet 12yo.   
      
    NB> Ah, but I do have more information that I've learned over the   
    NB> years...   
      
   From my perspective the word 'Scotch' implies it was made in Scotland and   
   therefore a Canadian whisky should never use that particular word on the label   
   as it would be deemed as false advertising as far as I the consumer is   
   concerned.   
      
    NB> and a book about single malt Scotch varieties....   
      
   That helps.   
      
    NB> Exactly what I said except for the Canadian not being restricted   
    NB> to barley....   
      
   From my limited experience rye seems to be the more common usual suspect when   
   it comes to Canadian whisky.  I an't recall the last time I ever had a   
   Canadian whisky.  Irish whisky (Bushmill's) wasn't too many years ago and was   
   enjoyable but I can honestly say wasn't as good as Glenlivet.   
      
    NB> the other suspects don't read here, do they...?   
      
   True.  One has threatened to join up but hasn't lately.  I think the last time   
   he read/posted was long before you and I started talking about Scotch.   
      
    NB> unless my brother actually came for a visit and sat down with me   
    NB> to imbibe.... ;)   
      
   Doesn't he supply the bottle when that happens?  Seems to me we discussed   
   proper single malt Scotch etiquette awhile back and agreed that it was good   
   manners for your brother to be the supplier when visiting.  No?   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
