No offense to Scotland's TR (anyone else's TR), whisky or whiskey lovers for
that matter, but John, I'm partial to a particular Tennessee brand myself,
being a JD Tennessee Squire and owner of plot 4027t.
Too early in the day, John? Never! It's always the correct time somewhere in
the world and this list is a testament to that!
Cheers,
