Yes, Jackie, you are correct. I appropriated the name from the very fine Irish whiskey made by the world's oldest distillery whose original grant to distill was issued in 1608. It's located in County Antrim not far from the Giant's Causeway. I savor sipping it during the course of an evening of music and conversation.

Zed asks: "what time is dinner?"
And the Old Padre responds: Sorry, you just missed it. Nothing foodgasmic, but an adequate Korean meal of
Pulkogi (grilled beef ribs in a wonderful sauce)
Bap (rice)
Musangchae (a radish salad)
Bibim Naengmyon (cold buckwheat noodles)

Well, I've learned more about ecstatic reactions in my first posting than I ever expected I'd obtain in a year. I have been eating almost all my life and while I've had some outstanding meals, some exquisite meals, some downright unsurpassable meals, but I've never experienced anything near what I'm hearing described. I can't remember meeting anyone who has had those experiences. I'm afraid I've led a very sheltered life. I always am grateful for the opportunity to learn something new. However, Faldage, I do find your description of "excellent haggis" egregiously oxymoronic. I'm sure it had to be something else that precipitated your transcendent moment.
I do want to thank all of you who graciously welcomed me to your table. I'm looking forward to some more fine dining.

Although in fact at that point the distillery had been running for about 400 years. My Dad was born in Bushmills, and that's the whiskey I grew up on. And, by the way, it makes a great hot toddy if you happen to have a cold (and even if you don't). The family recipe: two fingers of Bush in a mug, squirt of lemon, spoonful of sugar (honey for preference, mind you), fill with hot water and drink it up in bed. This was the cold remedy from when I was about six.

Oh, well. To me it is an ugly word without even the intended pinch of forbiddenness.

[Snort!] I savor sipping it during the course of an evening of music and conversation. two fingers of Bush in a mug, squirt of lemon, spoonful of sugar (honey for preference, mind you), EWWWW-wwww--you people are sick! Sick, I say! Whiskey is nasty! And bourbon's even nastier!! [shudder e] (Yes, I am a Kentuckian.) I too was made to drink honey-whiskey-lemon as a cough remedy when I was a child, but only a few times; then I rebelled. Give me a nice, sweet drink that tastes like a jazzed-up milkshake any day; or a Hurricane--I had one in Florida that reminded me how good they are.

well, i for one, liked whiskey from the start (the same cold remedy was not unknown in our household, but children got half or 1/4 doses!)
another remedy --a mixture of hot milk and warm stout --as a cure for insomnia is incredible.. i cured me from complaining "i can't sleep' for a lifetime!(i just needed a small sip, not the 4 oz or so profered!)i still dislike both beer and stout.
and Blackberry brandy i still consider medicinal.

For sure. But it can be more fun if you have to think a moment.
