Thread Name: How many is (are) brose?
Subject: RE: How many is (are) brose?
Athol (no e) Brose is "brose" because it's thickened with oatmeal, if you can believe that! It's not bad.
Incidentally, that's "whisky", not "whiskey" if you're speaking of Scotch, which is the potable called for in Athol Brose.
Athol Brose was reputedly invented by an Earl of Athol, and was for many years considered a proprietary drink of the House of Athol. You were not allowed to use that term if you were not of the House of Athol.
