AVO
CAO
5 Vegas - (I have heard you should say "cinco vegas")

Thanks! - I just don't want to look stupid when I go into the local shop!

hhmm. This is an intersting question. I never really thought about it until you mentioned it, but I guess I could be calling these by the wrong names all the time. I have not gotten any strange looks from my local shop owner, but he IS a nice guy...lol


Kelvin, I have been calling them AH-VOHs... It will be interesting to see what the "proper" ways to say these are

AVO should be pronounced AH-VO
CAO C.A.O.
And 5 Vegas, is Cinco Vegas

But, that is just me. I know Macallan knows all this stuff.

I once heard CAO pronounced as "COW"

I pronounce AVO as "AH-VO"
CAO as "C-A-O"
and 5 Vegas as Five Vegas although I could be wrong on that one.

CC, you told me to spin around on one leg between breaths - you were trying to make me look even more foolish to the guy at the shop.
