Congratulations on your promotion Lieutenant Colonel Letus, being in command of such a fine Scottish Regiment, I assume that you have a stock of what we who are familiar with the Highlands call "The Water of Life". I wonder if you would be willing to share a smallish bottle of your finest Malt Whisky with us here in the tavern?

General Morgan,
Thank you for the kind words. There's a bottle of my finest stock waiting for your next visit to the tavern. Enjoy in good health---preferably after the French troops surrender. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
