Lagavulin was Re: Hundreds arrested

[Mark Jones]

I've promised to send Max his Lagavulin and one day I will. As you probably
know they age the stuff in oak casks in semi-barns which are permeable to
the elements, and it's the Atlantic breezes that sweep across the romantic
Isle of Islay which seem to give it its special flavour. But you have to
visit Islay to understand what I mean. Once you acquire a taste for it, you
never look back. Would you help me hold Max down while we administer some?
