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. |

rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 20:06 on 20th November 2013 I'm thinking whisky too But I was thinking the Isle of Skye and one of their local malts. |

Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 13:14 on 22nd November 2013 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' ???
