Want to go to a whiskey tasting, 6:30 thursday Aug 10?
PM me name & email.
(Apologies for this non-jazz-related post! I don't work for a whiskey company, I'm just going, and allowed to invite people. Fun!)

Okay, point taken. But that American stuff is for cleaning the drains.

since we're all pedants...The Irish invented it and in Gaelic, it means "the water of life". In the Unites States and Ireland, the word is spelled with an e, the British, Scots, and the Canadians usually drop the e. All basic whiskeys, whatever the type, are made from one type of grain or another Straight whiskeys are bottled from the casks in which they are aged, with water added to reduce their proof. ...

well jamie, if it's any consolation, though I'm sure it's not, you would need only to have asked. My door and your head/fists/shoulder, would remain in tact.
