Air mo dhòigh glan 's gun d'fhuair mi an cothrom seo fheuchainn an-de aig a' Whisky Fringe.
Taigh-staile Caledonian Dhùn Èideann, nach maireann, 1964. Abair dramag!
Over the moon to have tried this rare Caledonian 1964 grain whisky from Edinburgh's closed Haymarket distillery. Lovely!

An Irish tragedy: The fall of Ferdiad at the hands of Cú Chulainn. Two great warriors, foster brothers, who trained together under the tutelage of the legendary warrior Scáthach.
In Scottish Gaelic, it's said that: Is caomh le fear a charaid, ach 's e smior a chridhe a cho-dhalt. ~ Dear is a kinsman, but the pith of the heart is a foster-brother.
