Peaty single malt - a wee dram keeps out the cold Terribly excited by insects and devoted to single malt whisky, the tweedy fly fisherman is to be found waist-deep in the river. Cheerful whatever the weather, the fly fisherman is tough as old waders. If you encounter one, you're probably on private property and he probably owns it.
