Why did God give drummers more brains than horses?
So they wouldn't shit in the street during parades.
One review I feel I am way overdue for posting. This was my second whisky purchase after Glenlivet. After some careful online research and finding this at a reasonable price, I decided this was to be my next scotch purchase. Always a staple in my cabinet and a nice daily go to dram for a reasonable price. Very recommended, especially to newer scotch fans!
