I think my hubby purchased and drinks that very same one, but I do not [yet] profess to be scotch-a-licious (I subscribe to the idea of scotch more than the taste of scotch, apparently) to know for sure. The sips I've had, though (while not super tasty to me) warmed me verrrry nicely from the inside out.<BR/><BR/>I recommend My Sister's Keeper to anyone I meet...from Jodi Picoult's amazing writing style to the personal significance it had in my life. I was reading it on a beach in Cozumel a couple years ago, sobbing loudly. Who sobs on a beautiful beach? Jodi, well done.<BR/><BR/>I'm headed to the Boston area for work next week and staying through the weekend pre-St. Patty's.

Although I have yet to not make a funny face when I drink it. <BR/><BR/>Also -- that book totally made me cry, too.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03460539590483138749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053152.post-49175856404819262692008-03-03T11:03:00.000-05:002008-03-03T11:03:00.000-05:00Every house in my family has a bottle of Dewars fo...Every house in my family has a bottle of Dewars for when my Nana comes over.
