Can these be traded for a good single malt?

You know I send this stuff over and she brings me back a bottle almost every time. I have some very nice Laphrog. I have a bottle of black watch given to me by my pappy in law when my oldest was borne (20 years old when bottled) Ive had for 23 years now:gar-Bi

Mark,

I love that back scratcher. If you don't mind my asking, were is your wife from? When I was in the Navy back in the 80s we were stationed at Holy Loch and lived in a flat in Dunoon right on the waterfront instead of in the Navy's housing. We got to travel all over and had a fantastic time. In fact, our youngest came home with a Scottish accent he kept for a couple of years. The old folks still respected the military back then so much so that I NEVER bought a drink in a pub if I was in uniform. Even without that perk I'd go back in a heartbeat!

I hope your wife has a safe trip.
