Though, I'd be of the belief that the base spirit in a gin makes precious little difference to the end product (provided we're talking about 96% ethanol). I'd challenge anyone to tell the difference between the same gin made with whey alcohol or wheat alcohol.

Looking for an Irish source of ethanol, lots of Irish producers opted for whey ethanol. It's a good product.

Jews against Zionism: 'What Israel has done in Gaza is barbaric - I'll never support it' Jewish diaspora members are so afraid of saying the wrong thing, they often don’t say anything at all, says Ria Czerniak-LeBov.

Got up early this morning and happened to be in the right place when one otter was ambushed by another on the River Lee. The encounter then moved onto the banks at my feet before the otters realized I was there and retreated back into the water. Over in seconds. Amazing! (video slowed by 50%) #cork

Remember the under-hospital tunnel-base that reporters breathlessly reported on as the unique reason why bombing a hospital was OK?

Then after the hospital was bombed, apparently the hospital mole people had unsportingly fled, taking their tunnel bases with them.

Two weeks is a lifetime away. There was optimism hope, stability and mighty craic. Now there's Israeli bombs in Beruit 😒

I can't believe that 2 weeks ago I was in Beruit seeing some old friends and making new ones, having an absolute whale of a time.
Now these friends are fearing for their lives as Israel bomb Southern Lebanon and Beruit!
I have no more words! I feel sick.
