What happened to Ben?

[DD86]

Hard to find any Ben More or his friend Bell's whisky these days in Chiang Mai.

No longer there at Lotus, Big C and 7 as they used to.

Anyone seen them?

Often hear Thais singing Jingle 'Ben' at Christmas, because of the way Bells is pronounced

I am not a whisky drinker, but have you tried the drinks section in any of the Rimping Supermarkets in Chiang Mai?

You called?

   Well, you got it half-right anyway.

The first person to make the facetious connection - as far as I know - between Jingle Bells and the common Thai pronunciation "Jinger Ben" was the widely read columnist M.R.Ayumongol Sonakul (Loong Ayu) back in the day.           Benmore Scotch?

If you can't get it in town there are places in the countryside not far from CM where I have seen it.

It seems to be popular among the locals for special occasions.
