Okay, Gliderguider, I had never heard of "Sheep Dip", but I just called and am having the local liquor purveyor try and order me some. They said it should be pretty inexpensive...bonus.
I've got to have some around, if nothing else, just for the name! ;-)
I'll try it with "Swordfishtrombones" as soon as it comes in.
Regards and thanks for turning me on to a new scotch.
