John Moore WINE SPOTS

‘HARD TO believe one of the most popular drinks in the world today was not so long ago just moonshine hocch Scotsmen used to tank up on before their periodic ravage ‘n ravish forays into England.

Except for trying to suppress its manufacture, the English had little interest in “whisky” until they'd pretty thoroughly suppressed the people who made it.

Having inflicted genocide and “transporation” on the Scots clans, they then perversely began a love affair with all things Scottish, which peaked in the 19th century.

The perennial difficulty of obtaining fine French brandy (owing to perennial wars with the French) also played a part in sway- ing English tastes toward the Highland elixir and in 1823 the first official permit to distill was issued to The Glenlivet.

Pure pot-distilled single malts which give blended Scotches their character are much in vogue and are now as pricey as the cognacs they supplanted.

For example:

Highland Park 12-year-old single malt (Orkney) 43% ale. by vol- ume $57.95

Rated by whisky connoisseurs as “the finest Scotch whisky in the world” (only The MacCallan com- pares), it’s priced accordingly.

Dark as a crofter’s cottage. with a smoky bouquet of sea- -salted peat so deeply evocative it demands to be reverently inhaled from aballoon §

snifter. More sacrament than drink.
