Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader, in the absence of the AirMarshal, will take a moment to point out inportant goings-on from the world of distilled spirits.

In this space we have previously discussed the reintroduction of George Washington’s whisky. Now it seems that the Bourbon and Whisky distillers of the United States are taking a (successful) page from the Scots and creating a new Bourbon trail.

Leaving aside the implications of millions (thousands… okay, hundreds) of Americans driving across vast distances of our great land going from distillery to distillery (think about it), this is a great idea. It really sounds like a great luxury bus tour in fact. Or even better… A choice of vacation on the American Orient Express. That is a train ride your Maximum Leader would gladly go on.

The only problem with such a tour would be remembering it when it was all done. Your Maximum Leader supposes that is what they have cameras for.

Carry on.
