International Whiskey Day 2020
 |
I could drink beer for a while with no difficulty but found the taste of mixed drinks generally revolting ...
Except for vodka which I really became interested in while at the Naval Training Center in Orlando. It would seem that I drank for effect while some of my companions actually enjoyed the taste of their drinks.
Today is International Whiskey Day. It is a day to support those who make Scottish Canadian, Japanese, Irish, and American whiskey ... and also includes support for the sufferers of Parkinson's disease and the research thereof.
Very appropriate as my friend Steve is a proponent of whiskey and a sufferer of Parkinson's disease.
The spelling of the day utilizes an embedded e or not depending on the local spelling traditions of the area from which a whiskey is produced.
Over the years I have acquired some very valuable bottles of whiskey which have come and gone, primarily at the hands of friends and I don't really begrudge any of those losses because it's never been a product I coveted.
There are other products which I have begrudged giving to others — but that's another story.
