Still wanting to toast the SAR or maybe recover with a hair of the dog? Highland Regal handover whisky could be just the right medicine.
Where to buy: The Chinnery Bar at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the Champagne Bar at the Grand Hyatt and other clubs and hotels, or by the bottle through 2369-2680.
Description: A limited-edition single malt in a hand-blown decanter and silk-lined box, or simply in a bottle.
Cost: Bottles go from $1,000 up to $8,000 if you get the decanter. Drams can set you back from about $63.
Our verdict: It seems a little strange that given the prominent role of the Scottish in the bad old colonising days a Scotch whisky would be chosen to toast the new administration at an official banquet last Wednesday. Still, in truth, we've never been too averse to a good drink when there's something to celebrate.
