Buckie is basically ye olde monastic chemical warfare. It's the ancient prototype for Red bull and vodka, somehow fired at poor unsuspecting Scotland from the opposite end of the British Isles. Even Daft Punk sang an ode to it, "up all night to get Bucky". Or something.

"Lanliq and Eldorado which were drunk by ‘alkies’. Buckfast hadn’t reared its ugly head"

Piece of social commentary.

Even the Grauniad joins in the fun. There's a much better article I've linked to before but can't find it just now.

Went to Buckfast abbey in my 20s, at the end of the tour there was a table full of shot glasses with bucky in.
We asked how many we were allowed, much as you want he said.
Being alki bastards we said yes get in there. First glass and it was absolutely revolting, it was our first taste of the stuff, I only had 2 shots and have never touched it again. Boak.

I will guess it's pronounced "Buckfust".

Depending on where you are, it may be pronounced "Breakfast"!

Jimmy my stepsister who still stays on your side of the wall once tried to return the favour by sending me a bottle of "Cairn O'mohr" That shite rebounded off the pit of my tripes and came straight back out!
