"This crazy, crazy whiskey world" continues and will not end soon, because interesting and curious facts are thousands, as are the whiskey brands around the world.
In the last few years in America, whiskey brands have been multiplying, but during World War II, distilleries stopped working to produce fuel and penicillin to aid the army. Nothing is said about the many bourbon bottles donated to the army, but it may have been a secret so that German troops wouldn't take advantage. After the war, whiskey production quickly resumed, and similar to Scotland, Kentucky currently has more bourbon barrels than its population.
Shortly after these difficult years, in 1956, the American military decided to change William to Whiskey in the military phonetic alphabet. A good decision, made over at least a few bourbons!
Let's stay with bourbon stories about the origin of the name. Some people believe that bourbon is named after Bourbon County in Kentucky. Others believe it is named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, a major port for whiskey trade in Kentucky, but we know that the name comes from the French Bourbon dynasty, who gave the names to the county and the street. It's high time we followed suit and named a street in our city after whiskey. It might be funny, but it will also be drinkable. A similar whiskey inspiration, but not to name a street or a desire to make more good money, is also from the musician Drake with his whiskey brand Virginia Black, as well as from our favorite Irish brawler Conor McGregor with the brand Proper Twelve. American musical idol Bob Dylan owns Heaven's Door whiskey, and here you can see other famous owners of various alcoholic brands:

We will leave the American whiskey states and move to New Zealand, where in 2006 whiskey was discovered from Ernest Shackleton's expedition, conducted in 1909 in an attempt to reach the South Pole. You can see the story in the link, and try a replica of the whiskey at Caldo whiskey bar.
After the chilling and freezing story, we return in 2017 to Scotland, where Scottish scientists managed to power a car with biofuel obtained from whiskey residues. We hope for failure in the future, due to the risk of exhausting the liquid amber resource outside its main purpose, which is to bring pleasure to the palate.
We will conclude with two records: For the smallest bottle filled with whiskey, which is only 1.3 milliliters of the White Horse brand, and the largest bottle is The Famous Grouse with a whopping 228 L. We are fans of the latter record, and it's up to you to be fans of the first. Let everyone have their priorities! Cheers!
Some of the brands listed in the article can be purchased from the website www.vida.bg or tried at the whiskey bar Caldo.
