There is a town in Scotland named Dufftown. There are 7 distilleries in town and 7 outside of town. In the 1700's the Brits instituted prohibition on Scotland. The Brits knew that there was a still in town, but they just could not find it. After prohibition was lifted the hiding place was revealed CITY HALL!

Tastebirds: they're rare in this neck of the woods Great moments from everyone - thanks!

[@jmcosmos]

Darren: Every whisk(e)y I've ever tasted is apparently meant to taste like vanilla. Me: Well, yeah ... that's what burning the oak barrels into charcoal inside does for them. The char liberates a whole handful of flavouring chemicals (vanilla, spice, coconut, toffee, caramel, wood) which the spirit can then leach out of the wood and into itself. For decades, Scotch distillers have put their whiskies into American charred oak barrels that once held bourbon or other spirits, and allowed the remaining flavours (and the flavour of the American whiskey, too) to percolate across the barrier and out into the drink. (American bourbons and whiskeys must be aged in new charred oak barrels which have never been used; knocking them down to staves after and shipping them to Scotland prevents waste and provides revenue for the distillery to make more barrels to make more whiskey ... and so on.

[@rylian21]

Bourbon is amazing.

At 3:56. Hey Clisare? You have to use high-end whiskey to drink neat to enjoy it. Start by smelling the whiskey in the glass. Understand the notes, read the label as well. Swirl it around the glass. Smell it again. Then take a very small sip. Your first sip will differ from the second and third sip, etc.. It gets smoother. And the "neck" part of the whiskey will also differ in taste/smoothness from the base part of the whiskey. Take VERY SMALL sips. That's my number one tip. Enjoy. I do!
