difference between

a Cricket Ball and

a good Whisky?

"A cricket ball," said Johnnie Walker, taking one in his hand, "has got a scam-you can scè and feel where the join comes-and so it is with poorly blended whiskies. But a good whisky Like Johnnie Walker is somewhat like a billiard ball, perfectly round, perfectly smooth; the blends of rare whiskies are so skilfully married'. that there are no edges' to the whisky. "It's always worth while saying 'A Johnnie Walker, please,' instead of 'A whisky-and-soda.””
