The Glade 4.0

I picked #2, but I am also adopted so I don't know the exact mix of my ancestry. Alls I know is that my baby book for nationality shows a bold all caps IRISH, wth French, Polish, Finnish and Lithuanian in normal print.

Oh yeah, and a HUGE point of order. In Scotland it's WHISKY.

1/16th english, 1/16th jap, 7/8th Chinese

I am 100% Doom.

More Irish than anything else. The mix includes English, Scottish, German and Cherokee.

I'm a mutt of unknown quality. My mother's ancestors just "appeared" in new england in the late 1700s. That screams french and my mothers maiden name could be a derivative of Rainier. The other half of my family tree is largely Germanic.

I have no idea what you're talking about, now if you'll excuse me I have cabbage-stuffed potatos to attend to.

Well, my last name is certainly Irish. But in reality, I'm probably mostly something else.

I've got a pretty good genealogy of my father's side, so I know there's quite a bit of German there, as well as some Irish down the paternal line, but probably more German than anything else. I don't have as much detail on my mother's side, but judging from surnames alone, there's definitely Welsh and Scottish in there. Probably more likely Anglo-Scots as opposed to, you know, Scot-Scots.

So, yeah...pretty much the definition of Anglo-Saxon honkey here.

That said, I am going, I am going, where streams of whiskey are flowing - tonight live.

Hells yeah.

Probably 1/4.


What do you expect from a dirty Mick?

My adoptive mother's family is Irish & English. My dad's is likely English.

Properly written it would be, in English, a tongue the Scots have for the most part been atrocious at for many generations, but accepting your cultural sensitivity, it would be Scots Whisky, but they sell it all over the world as Scotch Whiskey, why is that?

Dude.. what kind of asinine question is that... you expect this, and lots of it:

Perhaps it would be in an effort not to confuse the dirty Micks, but in my experience, they use Scotch/Scots Whisky, not Scotch Whiskey:





Nah, I expect this:

It's a common phrase on the internet, Micheal. Heck, maybe it's as simple as Hopwin enjoying Jameson more than Guinness as I do.

Guiness is only good in two forms: Car Bombs and Black 'n Tans.

_________________

It's excellent in both forms, but it holds up quite well on its own as well, especially from a tap. So I must disagree a little.

Fair enough

You are correct. The spelling does not differentiate the type of the whisk(e)y. It does tend to give its origin. American and Irish distilleries tend to favor the spelling WHISKEY, while Canadian, Scottish, and Japanese distilleries tend to favor WHISKY. Note that there are some very good single malts made outside of Scotland. So that Irish Whiskey will be more like a good Scotch Whisky than the Crown Royal Whisky is. And the Bourbon Whiskey? That crap isn't like any of them.

My experience has been the opposite; I've had quite a bit more Irish whiskey that tastes more like Crown than it does good Scotch.

Heathen! Good bourbon is an experience that needs to be savored. Common bourbon is still not a bad experience.
