    There are very many reasons why people drink alcohol and particularly Scotch whisky.
    Over the years I've dabbled here and there with various blends and single malts but never found anything that has "nailed it" for me - until now.....
    An old schoolfriend very kindly treated me to a bottle of Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask for my 60th Birthday recently.
    One month later I had a procedure carried out as part of my ongoing battle against Cancer of the Bladder (non-invasive) where any lesions are removed by laser and biopsies taken to determine how my treatment is progressing.
    I received the results this week and was ecstatic to hear that I am now "Cancer free" (this was previously known as "in remission") for the first time in 7 years! If I can remain like this for 5 years then I will be declared "all clear" which will be simply wonderful!
    I was so happy and spent hours sending messages sharing the good news with all my friends and one came back saying that this would be a very fitting time to open "that bottle of Scotch you got for your birthday" and celebrate.
    I agreed, doing exactly that and what a fantastic surprise I got!
    The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask is, without any doubt whatsoever, the very finest drink that has ever passed my lips, it is simply sublime and I would recommend that anyone searching for a "top quality tipple" should become acquainted with it post haste!
    "Magnificently Marvellous Macallan" - it really does say it all!
    Bravo!
