LOL. Well aside from sitting in charred oak barrels for X years, unlike fuel ethanol which is subsidized, whiskey is taxed to hell and back.
I also think that valuable corn resources are being diverted from the use God intended (whiskey) and are being made into fuel. If we stopped the government subsidies on ethanol and used the corn for whiskey, there would be cheaper whiskey, and more tax revenue going into the government. That would solve the deficit problem and everyone would be happy. :o)
My grandfather was a moonshiner and he said that aging whiskey was highly over-rated. He said he tried leaving some whiskey in a barrel for almost two weeks before drinking it and couldn’t taste the difference.
