    NB>> I don't think I've ever had a Canadian   
      
    MK> Apparently there are some good single malts but I've never had one so   
    MK> I can't confirm it.  Canadian beer is good, better than American beer   
    MK> that is for sure.  Mind you that isn't saying much especially given   
    MK> the topic at hand.   
      
   And I don't like the taste of beer at all... only one I've been able to   
   even get more than a sniff past my nose (even had a few ounces in   
   September), has been Smithwicks... which isn't exactly a beer anyway...   
   I finally figured out that it's the hops I detest....  :)   
      
    MK> Maybe one of these years I'll try a Canadian single   
    MK> malt whisky just to say I did.    
      
   And when/if you do, you'll have to report on it here...  ;)   
      
    MK> Speaking of which, one of the island   
    MK> breweries is threatening to start producing a whisky in the near   
    MK> future but it'll be at least 10 years from now before they can bottle   
    MK> anything that could possibly compete with the Glenlivet/Macallan   
    MK> standard as you call it.  In the meantime it would have to be   
    MK> something from the east, say one of the ones produced by the Glenora   
    MK> distillery in Nova Scotia.  Either "Glen Breton Rare 21 Year Old Glen   
    MK> Breton Rare 21 Year Old" or "Glen Breton 15 Year Old - Battle of the   
    MK> Glen" looks tempting but I've never seen or even heard about them in   
    MK> this neck of the woods.    
      
   Are they substantially less expensive than the Scotches....?   
      
    NB>> So, our discussion shouldn't be tipping them off to your stores... ;)   
      
    MK> I think what tips them off is when they see me going to the store.    
      
   Ah...   
      
    MK> However the 15yo Glenlivet I bought in Nanaimo so only the person I   
    MK> was with is aware of it and he knows what it is allocated for.  He did   
    MK> have a taste of the Macallan Gold but dropped in after the cybertoast   
    MK> had occurred.    
      
   What did he think of the Gold...?   He'll probably drop in after the 1st   
   for a wee nip of the 15yo, if he remembers you bought it...  :)   
      
   ttyl         neb   
      
   ... Why do they ask 'paper or plastic'?  Because baggers can't be choosers
