Talk:The MacAbre

Actually, a fairly comprehensive list shows only two malts named after "Macs", the Macallan and Macduff. (Gordon & MacPhail is a négociant-bottler of other peoples' whiskies, as I believe Bearhugger's does with the Macabre.) There are thirty-one malts starting with "Glen". --Old Dickens 15:39, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

MacAbre might also be a reference to the Scottish or quasi-Scottish nature of Jimkin Bearhugger's products, being a homonym for "Ma caber"; or "My caber" pronounced with a Scottish accent. A caber is a long, stout pole, similar to a telegraph pole, used in a sporting event at Scottish Highland Games, where participants have to toss the caber in the air, flipping it end over end. The winner is the contestant who throws the caber the greatest distance. --Ericthehalfabee 17:00, 6th May 2020 (UTC)
