Abstract

Readers musing on the above title may recall the famous Hollywood night club Whisky a Go-Go, where no doubt one could enjoy a fine malt –perhaps even a Scottish one (unless you happen to be price-sensitive, in which case the import duties might put you off purchasing a dram of the imported stuff there). This notwithstanding, whilst the Brexit talks’ procession between UK and EU negotiators lurches onto its seeming end-point this week, news that the UK government is allegedly scrabbling to do a “mini-deal” with the US prior to the change in American administration did make me turn my mind to all things whisky (the Scottish –preferably single-malt variety –that is). It would not be surprising if this turns out to be the case –the Trump and Johnson administrations are on good terms and share significant commonalities.
