" Owing to the ravages of the phylloxera in the favoured districts of France," says the London Daily Telegraph, "it is an open beerefc that there is very little good brandy obtainable, aud British exhibitors are hoping that they will be able to induce the Parisians to substitute for it a much more wholesome spiritScotch whisky. The French are not unappreciative of its qualities, for at the Hygiene Exhibition, in the capital as well as at Troyes, in the champagne country, they awarded GOLD MEDAL and DIPLOMA to purveyors of Scotch whisky to the House of Commons, Messrs James Buchanan and Co. (Glasgow and London). This firm was also highly successful at Glasgow and Melbourne. Scotch whisky may be classed broadly into • Highland malts ' and • raw grains,' with perhaps a third variety called 'Lowland malt,' which is made in the southern countries. The Highland comes to us from remote glens, where the purity of the water is unquestionable, and it is distilled from the best malted barley procurable. It is at this stage that the peat which is used tor the drying kilns imparts the characteristic flavour." This high-class whisky is kept at every respectable and well-appointed hotel. It may be procured also from the leading wine ana spirit merefcanta. _ . .. „>.<£»,■»*&.* \
