Put whiskey in their drinks and you'll be fine

I'm not a whiskey drinker, but they make a damn good gin. Maybe that in addition to the whiskey would make it worthwhile?

I'm reminded of legal requirements regarding bourbon whiskey in the United States.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourbon_whiskey#Legal_requirem...

Nice bottle of Bourbon. Can't go wrong (unless he is a friend of Bill Ws)

This has something to do with Irish whiskey.

That better bottle of whiskey can get you into some of the same kind of trouble. :)

Please find me a non-alcoholic drink that tastes close to even a mediocre whisky or bourbon or rum or grappa or cognac, or any other aged spirit.
