Whiskey, Potash, and A Review
Another reference to whisky (or whiskey) and potash, this from The Freelands (1915) by John Galsworthy:
That evening, when Alan, having had his fill of billiards, had left the smoking-room and gone to bed, Felix remarked to Stanley:
"I say, what sort of people are these Mallorings?"
Stanley, who was settling himself for the twenty minutes of whiskey, potash, and a Review, with which he commonly composed his mind before retiring, answered negligently:
"The Mallorings? Oh! about the best type of landowner we've got."
Later in the story:
John stared and Stanley drank off his whiskey and potash. Felix really was a bit 'too thick' sometimes.
