Cream or milk or why not water for the dram of single malt? We have a client in North Wales who sent us an entry for the Christmas competition showing his silver apostle spoon. sugar sifter and creamer all being used or his morning cornflakes. The great thing about this is that his lady who took the photograph advised us that it was a daily ritual. This makes our job so much more worthwhile!
