This was interesting enough that I found him reading more often than usual.

They had us stick our heads over a vat of fermenting ingredients and sniff - my sinuses were clear for 3 weeks. Back then they even passed out capsules that released that same smell when you snapped them. The best allergy medicine ever!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-30341442039190299612016-01-25T07:59:02.290-06:002016-01-25T07:59:02.290-06:00I find it interesting that there are so many diffe...I find it interesting that there are so many different kinds of whiskey. Which is, these days, about as far as my interest in whiskey goes.

Up until then we had always bought him Scotch whisky, so we gave him a bottle of bourbon for his birthday this month. Hubby sometimes enjoys a Whisky Mac(Scotch Whisky and ginger wine). There's obviously a lot that can be written about American whiskey and I can understand why this book would be an interesting read.Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.com
