Three-sips-and-you're-out !!
Morphed from Robert Hardman** Daily Mail.
I'm not a whisky man, only enjoying sampling with a chum who collects..........but is losing the battle
I was surprised therefore to hear of a concoction which it would be an insult to call 'rocket fuel'............
it is stronger than that - oh yes ! The V2 rockets that battered London in WW2 were propelled by a liquid
which was around 75% alcohol. The four times distilled Usquebaugh-Baul (Gaelic for 'Perilous Whisky')
works out at 92% - more than twice the strength of the average vodka or gin !
A new brew called Bruichladdich, rises like a phoenix from the ashes of acquisition, neglect and
abandonment by the American Jim Beam liquor empire. Localy called 'The Peril' 10,000 litres of this 'fuel'
have been recently put down. (Barrels not throats !)
It would be a great shame if it's watered down by beefing up less hairy brews.
