I'll post this** here since the "War on Scotch" article from yesterday still is not taking posts. And I wish they would fix the "log in" links. I had to go back to the first article to find one that worked. ** Now this is a conundrum. I love Irish whiskey but I also love scotch whiskey. Currently, in the US, bourbon is doing pretty well although not a personal favorite. I thought that rye whiskey was the American favorite before prohibition. My father's favorite was canadian (he grew up during prohibition when that country kept dry throats all over the US wetted.) I think that the best solution is for all of us to drink more whiskey of all kinds. Demand drives job growth - John Maynard Keynes, 1933. Doesn't it give you a warm feeling deep down inside to know that you are doing your part to support the recovery?

I didn't know that Irish whiskey was owned by a French company. I will now stick with Jack Daniels.

I'm waiting for those who bashed O'Leary From Ryanair & Donald Trump for being successful to somehow bash success in selling Irish Whiskey!
