Mathman: Since so many references have been made to Jack O'Connor here on this thread, I'll have you know that Cactus Jack drank Passport scotch, which you now besmirch! Seriously, Passport was old Jack's drink of choice.

Me, I drink Scoresby. I like it so much, I even named one of my labs Ebony's Duke of Scoresby, Duke for short. For the uninformed, Scoresby is nothing but J&B that is shipped to this country in the barrel and bottled here. J&B is bottled in Scotland. That and about 50% more money is the only difference I can tell.

My kids insist on giving me some single malt that costs a fortune and I can't even pronounce for birthdays and father's day, etc. I think they do it because they know that I won't drink it and it's available to them when them come for a visit. I won't drink anything that I can't pronounce, a cardinal rule in the Turpin house. In fact, I think I'll go have a Scoresby right now!
