Thank you, Friar John Cor

For making, on this day in 1495, the first Scotch Whiskey Whisky.

A grateful world blesses your memory.

Thanks to Brad_in_MA in the comments for an important clarification.

    Ted,

    Shame, shame, shame. Whiskey is the crap distilled in the US & Canada. Whisky (without the 'e') is the fine libation which hails from Scotland. Plse update. Thanks you.
