that speak the language......

How in the heck is the name of the Scotch called TOMATIN pronounced?

It's damn good and surprisingly inexpensive over here.

Just as you would imagine..

To..
as in give us tow to the nearest garage, or the digits at the end of your foot.

ma...
as in the first syllable of ma...trimony.

tin.
as in the tin man in the Wizard of Oz.

Enjoy.

Tomatin, eh? I'll consult my scotch expert Isaac. You remember Isaac. He's the Irish guy I know, and the reason I managed to get into this crazy fray.

I'll have to do some field work on it myself too

Thank you!!

The (supposedly) all knowing gent at the liquor store kept referring to it as

Alas, he's a Texan too. Bless his heart.
