by Hans Moser is a four sided bottle. The sides are
                                                 very thin with an indent at the back and a slight
                                                 bulge in the front.

                                                 We finish our brief trip to Argentina with four other
                                                 whiskies. The Aberdeen Angus has a back label
                                                 commemorating Sir George MacPherson-Grant who
                                                 was born in 1839 and greatly improved the breed in
                                                 the latter part of the 19th century.

                                                 We move north for a quick trip to Brazil. Old Eight is
                                                 a blend of Scottish Malt and Brazilian whisky. The
                                                 1965 on the label refers to the year the distillery was
                                                 built. In 2001 it was purchased by Italian giants
                                                 Campari. It is in good company as Campari also own
                                                 Wild Turkey, Old Smuggler and Glen Grant. The Old























                                    Eight refers to the eight year old Scottish Malt that forms the base
                                    of the whisky. It is a pity that with such good contents it comes in
                                    a plastic bottle.

                                    In a future issue we will go to Uruguay, Chile and beyond.
