Tommy says, "let them drink cake!"

Marie Antoinette allegedly famously said, " Qu'ils mangent de la Brioch, (Let them eat cake) shortly before her head was severed from her body by the Quillotine during the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution. At the time the French people were starving and were unable to even afford bread. Pondering this historic time in history, I couldn't help but think about the single malt whisky, Royal Lochnagar Rare Malts, 24 year old, distilled 1972 ,55.7 vol., with a royal gold color, fresh baked nose, spicy, sweet taste and cake dusted with cinnamon and nutmeg finish. Perhaps a better choice of words for the Queen would have been, "Let them drink cake," thus satiating the unruly mob and saving her pompous neck. Slainte, Tommy Maaltman
