ton , both is Scotland and Ireland. But, after all, the
distillation of the article is not the only important point ;
for, as is also the case with brandy, the value of whiskey
depends to a great extent on its age. We know of one
London firm—W and A (iilbcy—who hove about 3,000
puncheons 1300,000 gallons) always maturing in boad,
and for this purpose they have lately adapted a building
well known to most travellers by the London and North
Western Railway as the " Hound Howie ' at Camden—
a building originally erected by the railway company as
considerable expense as an engine house. Here are stored
large stocks of all the most fatuous whiskeys of Ireland

more generally followed, it is not difficult to imagine •
time when whiskey would be a strong competitor with
brandy, more especially should the French government
be induced to charge an export duty on Cognac brandy.
