Hi all you Single Malt lovers, collectors or drinkers,

Called in to my local Whisky Shop on Sunday “The Wee Dram” in Bakewell Derbyshire England.

John galore is from the Gaelic go leor and means "enough", sounds the same in both languages but a wee bit of Irish for you, "good enough" would be
"maith go leor" pronounced.... ma galore.
