I thought I’d share some of my favorite quotes about whiskey:

“Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake.” -W. C. Fields

“Too much of anything is bad, but too much of good whiskey is barely enough.” -Mark Twain

“I love to sing and I love to drink scotch. Most would would rather hear me drink scotch.” – George Burns

“I love scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch. Here it goes, down into my belly.” -Ron Burgundy

“Sometimes life is sad. You can cry in your booze, if you want. I think that’s called a Whiskey Sour.” -Jarod Kintz

 

It looks like the first whisky distillery in London in over a century is about to ramp up production…

P.S. If you’re thinking there’s a typo in the spelling of “whisky,” it’s because Scottish and English whisky producers spell the word with no “e.” The letter was used by the Irish years ago to differentiate their product, and Americans followed suit.
