@emptywheel Whiskey is a modern product. The pilgrims were more likely drinking something ale-like. Bourbon shows up in 1800's.1 reply 1 retweet 2 likes -

@jonahsilas I'd be okay to let Rye Whiskey be the thing (bc I drink neither) but one or another deserves notice, no?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel The post turkey spirits does seem like it should be a thing. I commit to instantiating it in <looks at watch> about 30 minutes.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@jonahsilas Cool. Well, I'm not good at that stage of drinking but will happily RT for America's posterity.
