[QUOTE="DestroyYouAlot:712507"]bradmann said:[QUOTE]dead Picts? que es?[/QUOTE] I'm not sure which part you're hazy on, so I'll elaborate on the process: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picts "The Picts were a confederation of tribes in what later was to become central and northern Scotland from Roman times until the 10th century. They lived to the north of the Forth and Clyde. They are often assumed to have been the descendants of the Caledonii and other tribes named by Roman historians or found on the world map of Ptolemy, though the evidence for this connection is circumstantial and the issue of "Pict" origins remains controversial among historians. Pictland, also known as Pictavia, became the Kingdom of Alba during the 10th century and the Picts became the Fir Alban, the men of Scotland." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peat Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation matter. Peat forms in wetlands or peatlands, variously called bogs, moors, muskegs, pocosins, mires, and peat swamp forests. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog_body Bog bodies, also known as bog people, are preserved human bodies found in sphagnum bogs in Northern Europe, Great Britain and Ireland. Unlike most ancient human remains, bog bodies have retained skin and internal organs due to the unusual conditions of preservation. Under certain conditions, the acidity of the water, the cold temperature and the lack of oxygen combine to tan the body's skin: skeletal preservation is very rare in these bodies, as the acid in the peat dissolves the calcium carbonate of bone. The bodies provide very useful research material for archaeologists. Some of the bodies retain intricate details like tattoos and fingerprints. C.H. Vogelius Andersen was astonished to find that Graubelle Man’s hand prints were clearer than his own. The stubble and facial features of Tollund man are particularly well preserved.

In Britain, the term whisky is usually taken to mean Scotch unless otherwise specified. In the United States, it is often referred to as "Scotch". Scotch whisky is divided into four distinct categories: single malt, vatted malt (also called "pure malt"), blended and single grain. Malting Malt whisky production begins when the barley is malted—by steeping the barley in water, and then allowing it to get to the point of germination. Malting releases enzymes that break down starches in the grain and help convert them into sugars. When the desired state of germination is reached the malted barley is dried using smoke. [b]Many (but not all) distillers add peat to the fire to give an earthy, peaty flavour to the spirit.[/b] tl;dr version: Dead folks in the British isles had a habit of ending up in bogs, peat comes from bogs, malt whisky is made with peat. This is how my mind works, folks; what can I say?[/QUOTE]
