My reading for the evening? The back of a bottle of Glenfiddich Special Reserve, aged twelve years, that arrived in an Easter care package from Dinka's parents:
"Glenfiddich® Special Reserve is a 12 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, from the Speyside region of the Scottish Highlands. It has a soft, rounded taste, with rich fruit flavours, a touch of pine and subtle peatiness.Tonight I raise a glass to the best mother- and father-in-law that a young man could for. If only I could be there to show my gratitude in person.
On Christmas Day 1887, the first spirit flowed from the stills at The Glenfiddich Distillery. Since then, the quality of Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been sustained by never compromising the traditional standards of production - it is the only Highland Single Malt to be distilled, matured and bottled at its own distillery using a single source of clear, natural spring water for extra purity."
