And the US, too, has whiskEY which is also rather good. J and I used to find a nice range of them at the Bev'n'More stores in California. For orange juice, you can't go past sparkling wine in the morning, and vodka closer to evening. Here in Singapore, the plum wine also comes with plums! Unlike the type we used to drink in the States, quite a few of the brands here are Japanese (not Chinese), and the liquid is clear (not that reddish colour we were used to). I haven't actually bought one to contrast the taste, but will put that on my list and report back to you when done! Hey, for the ultimate in plum-based alcoholic beverages, you've GOT to try slivowitz. A little goes a long, long way!

Evidently whisKEY is of Irish origin, whereas whisKY is Scottish. I just want something smooth that looks good with orange juice. :o) I had to Google scotch and dry, and also whisky.

I have never heard of a scotch and dry, which only proves how uneducated I am when it comes to adult beverages. LOL. My drinking tends to be moderate, but I do have a weakness for plum wine. PS... Yes. I toasted yes, my friend, half a world away. Cheers! >>My favourite drink used to be a Scotch and dry…
