Habemus Papam! Habemus Single Malt...
I dedicated a very nice dram of Port Ellen (24yo 1983, Cask 4127, McGibbon's Provenance) to the honor of the new pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Argentina. Good luck, Franciscus (or better Francisco). Don't get me wrong, I am not at all believing (additionally I am protestant) but I acknowledge your importance as a moral instance. And I hope that a pope from Latin America will be able to find the right way of modernizing the Catholic Church smoothly by giving the right answers to the most urgent challenges. If you manage to follow and fulfill the high expectations that go along with the name Franciscus you choose for yourself, then this dram of Port Ellen will for sure not be the last one I dedicate to you. So sláinte mhath, Francisco!
