Good Lord! A thousand apologies everyone. THRASH really had 6 letters. I check them and check them and check them before posting and yet, here is an error in counting. Of course it should have been (6) THRASH.
This seems to have been a bad day for me with simple counting (see another thread!!). Perhaps its the new (to me) Balvenie 12 year-old single malt.
I'll do my level best to make sure of the count in future posts. OOOOOH! the shame of it all.
