Speaking of Whiskey...

Here's a little fact I learned while playing NTN trivia tonight: Many of Pennsylvania's Scotch-Irish distillers moved west into Kentucky following the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794. Apparently, it was easier to evade the tax laws in Kentucky, as few people were willing to be tax collectors there.

Another whiskey fact: "Whisky" is the spelling for Scotch whisky, while "whiskey" is the spelling for Irish, and also the US spelling. One Scotsman was so intent to make sure people understood the distinction that he wrote a poem about it.
