The above advertisement for I.W. Harper Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey dates back to 1940. While 76 years is a pretty long time for any brand to be around, I.W. Harper goes back even further than that. Way back in 1872, Bernard and Isaac Wolfe (the I.W. of I.W. […]
If you’re a regular reader of “It’s just the booze dancing…“, then you already know that we love a great whisk(e)y show. Sadly, ever since the Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America suspended the Philadelphia Whisky Extravaganza, we’ve been seriously lacking in large scale, Philadelphia whisk(e)y events. All […]

Buckle up, Boys and Girls! G-LO and I are taking you on a rip roaring, pedal to the metal road trip through the Rocky Mountains and Big Sky country! Our journey begins in Bozeman, MT where we sample some RoughStock Montana Pure Malt Whisky. Our second stop will […]
If the usage of the singular verb tense with a plural subject bothered you…good! I like you already. But guess what? It’s not incorrect because we’re talking about Four Roses Bourbon. And cheese. Not grammar. Clearly. Because as you’ll see, I’m fond of sentence fragments. But back to […]
