    Thank folks, brains in gear again please:-

          Norman Greenbaum once had a hit and the title I will use as your clue.

                 SPIRIT IN THE SKY    ---- we are looking for a location and what it is that can be found there.

              Very cryptic to start but will give a tip or two as we go along.

Well I'm on a Scottish Island drinking from the local distillery (not literally because I'm in Germany) but I think I'm maybe wrong Smile

  Well one of you is slightly in the right ball park.

           I would have thought this quizzy would go to Ron , James or Dave.

I'm thinking whisky too Laughing

But I was thinking the Isle of Skye and one of their local malts.

  Well you have got that far, now start looking harder into where and we are not on an island unless you are calling the UK an island.

  Hi John, I do believe a brewery in Cornwall in conjunction with I think a Cider producer have got together and have made whisky in Cornwall for the first time in 300 years called -  Hicks and Healey and as so little is made costs really silly money ( I saw £175. 00 and that did not say how bigger a bottle ! )

        But, this is not the place I was thinking of- keep the grey cells working.

is this something to do with the didtilling process in that a certain amount of the amber nectar evaporates during its many years in the casks and this evaporation is known as something 'a drop for the angels' ???
