In those days I wasn't drinking anything very high-end, mostly blends like J&B and Cutty Sark. I learned pretty quickly that I did not suffer the same effects from bourbon or Irish whiskey. Over the years, I've had less trouble with single malts like Glenfiddich and other Speyside whiskies, and no trouble at all with Macallan (thank heavens). My suspicion is that the allergies some of us suffer have to do with peat, and interestingly, I just learned Macallan does not use peat. I've also heard a theory that scotch allergies could be related to iodine, which also comes from peat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
