I would like to ask you a question. Did you know March 27th is
National World Whisky Day? I didn’t but if I had I would have liked to share the news with my nephew because Whiskey is his drink of choice.
Along with David while mine is Tequila. But let me tell you I wouldn’t mind have a Whiskey and Coke after the weekend we had. How about you? Or do you prefer your Whiskey neat?
Facts about Whiskey:
- In American-English and Irish-English, it is spelled “whiskey”. In British-English, it is spelled “whisky”.
- A whisky stops maturing after it is bottled.
- The dark color of whisky comes from the wooden barrels in which it is aged.
- There are more than 5000 types of Single Malt Whisky.
