Just Irish pronunciation. I'll stick to single malt Scotch where I've
never heard any religious labels used!

discussions on single-malt scotches take on their own theological aspect
without religion being involved.

True enough! I wish I could afford to drink the stuff made in the town
where I was brought up : "Old Oban".

Seems the 14yo goes really well after a spicy meal, like Thai.

By swallowing.

Any other way, is uncivilized.

I did not even know that Oban sold stuff as old as that! When I was
young, it was never bottled under its own name but was sent to the
blenders to make regular Scotch. 12-yr old is $40-$50.

Not any more :-)

Obviously, they found out they were making good stuff.

According to the website editor at the other URL I gave you.........

Editor's Note: There's a rumor floating around that the Oban Distillery
was burned down to the ground and no longer exists. I have been hearing
this now for a couple of years and still receive e-mails from worried,
loyal Oban fans asking me about it. This is simply just a rumor. The Oban
Distillery (which is still in operation) is Diageo's second smallest
distillery and because of its popularity and the high demand, the
Distillery simply has a difficult time just trying to keep up. Another
small note - all of the production from the Oban Distillery goes to single
malt production and none is used for any of the blends of Diageo whiskies.
