Default It’s International Whiskey Day !

Pour yourself a glass , light a good cigar and enjoy the day! I’ll be imbibing in a nice glass of Henry McKenna after work this afternoon.
It's International Whiskey Day, and you need to try these whiskeys from around the world - The Manual

Thanks for the reminder.

I'll be sure to pour a wee dram of scotch to also celebrate my
entry into the Air Force 52 years ago.

I don't need any special day for enjoying bourbon and cigars. Any day of the week that ends with a 'Y' is good enough for me.

Maybe if I explain to my wife tonight that it is International Whiskey Day, she'll go along with a double ration of rye for me...

(Unlikely. That woman can be very parochial.)

And in memory of our friend and Absent Comrade TexasStar:

Whiskey or whiskey—How to spell it?

Both spellings of the word, whiskey and whisky, are correct. The tricky part is matching the right spelling with the right country of origin. If you’re talking about a drink that’s been made in Scotland, Canada, or Japan, use the spelling without the e—whisky. When referring to drinks distilled in the United States or Ireland, use the e—whiskey. When pronouncing the words, you wouldn’t notice the difference, but it is apparent in writing:

I had a glass of Yamazaki whisky last night; it was OK, but it’s no Tennessee whiskey.

The difference also carries on into the plural. For whiskey, the plural is whiskeys. For whisky, it’s whiskies...

I try not to have a drink before 5pm, but I have been known to recognize different time zones!

I've never seen a bottle of whiskey, or whisky, that could tell time.

Absalom would have done a Triple Lindy into this thread. He knew more about distilled spirits than any of us and he loved sharing that knowledge and his passion for "The Creature".

I am sure our Bayou Barrister will be observing this sacred occasion with all the reverence and solemnity it deserves.

Good whiskey, good dog and long ashes. AND it’s only Wednesday
I intend to have some Wild Turkey 101 on the rocks shortly. Now that I know it’s an international day of recognition I’ll mix up a Grey Goose dirty martini for the boss.

Whiskey man he is my friend he's with me all the time.
He always joins me when I drink & we get on just fine.
Nobody has ever seen him, I'm the only one.
Doctor said he's just a figment of my twisted mind...

Or something like that. Thanks to The Who.

Whisky and bad cocaine at the Spanish Moon.



The finest live album ever made-even better than Live at Filmore East with the Allman Brothers
