Totally agree, but are you sure that what you posted is in no particular order? My guess is that you got the order just right yesterday.

I liked your whisky too that Forty Creek you know.

After hearing about it from a Canadian, I could find it in Florida and in Indiana when I lived there and then enjoyed it.

I'm not a whisky drinker any more, but in good company sure I'd go for it again as well.

Wow . Rusty Staub , now there is a name I haven't heard in a long time . He was my idol and my favourite ball player growing up when I was a kid . The "Le Grand Orange" and the Expos !!! Ahhh good times and memories indeed . I was heart broken when Montreal traded him to the Mets .:baseball: :billed_cap: :orange_circle:

I met Rusty when my t-ball team played between an Expo doubleheader at Jerry Park.
He gave me his autograph.
I got a double, but was stranded on 2nd.

When our bar’s Jameson’s runs dry, we go down to the
Fourty Creek.

That Fourty Creek is a genuine best buy at the price it is. Because it's aged in Sherry barrels it is a fine sipping whiskey or with a little cood water, no ice if one wants it a little lighter. I lost a kidney and have given up alcohol but I do miss Scotch and Fourty Creek :cry:
