In Edinburgh's Whisky Museum near The Castle (A Mecca for all fans) I found
a quotation from comedian Chick Murray.
"Never drink whisky without water.

To keep the pepill frome the stormes strang,
And he that fals, the craft it gois all wrang."
>>From 15th century Scots Poem 'The Buke of the Chess'
