So much so that he has his own little brewery going.
I know a few who do this and make a reasonable drop.
I'm such an occasional drinker that I tend to be rather selective and don't drink any old thing. I guess that works for me. I'll have a glass of whiskey with you any day.
My drinking is like the famous saying "less is more". But when I do whiskey (with an e or without depending on the Irish versus Scottish influence) wins. Wine I learned to drink in my early hiking days. Of all things. All my hiking friends liked a glass at the end of each day heavy hiking and I learned to tolerate a glass. And ultimately enjoy it. Whisky education happened when I lived in Scotland and started visiting different distilleries on my very rare day off. Ice versus spring water. Whisky versus whiskey. The rest, as they say, is history.
I used to be the ice guy when it came to whiskey but generally now Input in a small measure of spring water as you say, it's amazing how it brings the whisky alive. Having said that, air have a couple bottles in the cupboard and both have gone untouched for over a year. 🤣
