B.I.A. is not a Scotch aficionado, therefore does not understand the sacrilege of her suggestion. I have found that chiles make a great addition to Vodka (I keep a bottle infused with Thai Dragons in my freezer at all times (makes a knock-out Bloody Mary), and I've had chili-infused Tequila (seems to make sense - Mexican and hot, together), but nothing shall ever infuse my single-malt scotches except for malt!!! Chili is wonderful, Scotch is wonderful, but never the twain shall meet!!!!!! Best Regards, Dr. Dirt/Steve ************* Mary-Anne Love ya dearly, but placing chile's in a single malt is a major No No. Me thinks that Dr Dirt ( AKA Steve) would have some very non printable verbage. And might place him at the non-speaking terms. Strongly suggest against it. L.B. Dougie, my fav, is single malt. >>
