[Sca-cooks] Aging Scotch (was:OOP -- Vegan chocolate truffles

[Mairi Ceilidh]

Actually, the Scotch is aged in casks that were previously used to age
Sherry.  It leaves the Scotch with subtle undertones of Sherry.  I've also
had Scotches that were aged in Port or Madeira casks.  Mmm, getting thirsty.
It's five o'clock somewhere.....
