You wondered what cheap blended Scotch is for?

At this point I choose not to, or rather, my enjoyment of
life will largely overbalance health constraints. It is good
that I prefer a low-carbohydrate diet, though.

 -> The yeasties were in the recipe that has less brandy in it.

Yeah, but then it would be more likely to be a non-starter.

Have you ever seen Plan 9 from Outer Space? One of the few
movies about which I recall anything (and it ain't much).
Or The Thing, which featured James Arness in a carrot suit.

      Title: Pork With Celery & Orange
 Categories: Meats, Main dish
   Servings:  4

  1 3/4 lb Lean end belly of pork
      2    Pig's kidneys, (5 oz each)
      3 sm Oranges
      1    Head of celery
      1    Onion
      2    Garlic cloves; crushed
           Parsley and rosemary
      1    Bay leaf
           A little yeast extract
           Flour and dripping

  Halve and core the kidneys.  Soak them in acidulated water for 1 hour then
  drain and dry.  Bone the pork, reserve the rind and cut the flesh (there
  should be at least 1 lb.) into large cubes.  Grate the zest of all 3
  oranges and squeeze the juice from 2.  Measure the juice and add enough
  yeast extract dissolved in hot water to make 8 fl. oz. of liquid in total.

  Seal the pork briskly in a little hot fat and transfer to a casserole.
  Slice the kidneys thickly, dust with flour, brown in the hot fat and add
  to the casserole.  Tie together 3 sprigs of rosemary, 6 bruised parsley
  stalks and a bay leaf, and bury the bouquet among the meats.  Roughly chop
  the onion and fry it briefly.  Sprinkle on 1-1/2 tablespoons flour and
  pour on the liquid.  Bring to the boil, stirring, and add to the
  casserole.  Add plenty of salt and pepper, the crushed garlic and orange
  zest.  Cut the celery into large chunks and add it to the casserole - do
  not stir it in.  Lay the pork rind, fat side down, on top of the celery,
  and put a sheet of greaseproof paper over that.  Cover with the lid and
  cook at 325 F (160 C) gas mark 3 for 1-1/2 hours, then at 300 F (150 C)
  gas mark 2 for a further 45 minutes.

  Remove and discard the paper, rind and bouquet of herbs.  Stir the
  casserole to mix the ingredients and add the flesh of the reserved orange,
  cut into V-shaped segments and ruthlessly stripped of all membrane.  Cover
  with fresh greaseproof paper and the lid; cool quickly and chill
  overnight.

  Remove surface fat and reheat the casserole gently but thoroughly for
  serving.  Check seasoning and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
