JKD Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 As someone who is in Scotland, you should be flogged for your spelling 🤔😆🤣 All of the ordinary whiskies NEED something added to make them palatable, IMO 👍😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 Phyllis Tine has left the building. You drink your cheap whisky how you like it and I will add mine to tea, it IS a Military tradition. We save the good stuff for sipping and chatting over.

I had read that in WW1, Gunfire was tea and rum and thought that the QM might have used the local spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bottle of Johnnie Walker Scotch would cost me £8 in the Mess and would cover an evenings drinking for 4 or 5 in a good Hotel in town.
