Great show!
History/info of distilled spirits. They started with rum, and then moved through all the big ones. Whiskey, scotch, gin, vodka, tequila.
I learned a lot. Why bourbon is bourbon, Tennessee vs. Kentucky, sour mash, single malt/blended scotch etc.
They featured Maker's Mark and Knob creek.
I had no idea about the tequila, and the "blue" agave. (I knew it came from that plant, but thats it.)
In between each segment, they had a bartender mixing each drink.
Good stuff Maynard.

They said water is very key (in consuming). Even if it is ordered neat, a good bartender will splash some H20, to truly release the flavors.

I'm in the mood for a Cosmopolitan. "We're growing. Be as big as San Francisco in a few years, and just as sophisticated" |
