Whiskey Toddy

In addition to haggis, tartan and bagpipes Scotland is also synonymous with mists, drizzle, cold, and damp. It is inevitable that at the end of a dreech winter's day we should require a little something to warm the soul (even if we do have central heating and double glazing) and what better way than with a whiskey toddy. A toddy is also excellent way to treat the common cold - it won't cure you but after a couple of toddies you won't care either!
