[Rhodes22-list] Scotch

  I say you're right and the Webster's Dictionary I consulted also capitalizes the "S" describing whiskey.  As I avoid those sweet alcholic beverages, sipping my Dewars, I now see why your advice on sailing the Rhode22 is so insightful.

  Can somebody please settle an argument? I say Scotch (whiskey) should be
capitalized because it refers to a country unlike, for example, rum or beer.
Same goes for Scotch tape and Scotch eggs. I also think it's proper to
refer to things Scottish as Scotch, as in my heritage is Scotch or I was too
Scotch to buy it.

Can I get a ruling on this, please, as I sip my Dewars?
