Today is Bottled-in-Bond Day, celebrating the passage of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. It was one of the first consumer protection laws and guaranteed the quality of American spirits carrying the Bonded label.

Enjoy today, and celebrate responsibly. Cheers!

That's why I love this wonderful world of whiskey!

Cheers.

For 2026, the Ardbeg Committee selected Ardbeg Ten Cask Strength, a twist on the classic, 10-year core #Scotch #whisky expression. It isn’t just bottled at cask strength; there’s more than that. My review is at Whiskeyfellow.net or the link below. Cheers!

Well yeah, but all of those instances show that Trump is innocent. The most innocent. No one on planet Earth is more innocent than Donald Trump. He is innocent like nobody has ever seen.

(this is sarcasm in case anyone thinks otherwise)

I must give credit where credit is due. Donald Trump has convinced me to expand my horizons.

I used to be a single-issue voter. If you couldn't condemn 1/6/21, I cannot vote for you.

Now, I’m a dual-issue voter. If you can’t condemn 1/7/26, I also cannot vote for you.
