can claim that name, so long as it meets a strict list of requirements that qualify true bourbon. Though 95 percent of bourbon is made in Kentucky, whiskey made anywhere in the U.S. All whiskey is whisky and vice versa, with or without the “e,” just remember that in countries with an “e” in the name, there’s an “e” in the whiskey. From whiskey to whisk y to bourbon and rye, there are a few tricks to knowing your way around the trade. It is typically aged in wooden casks, often fashioned from charred white oak, giving whiskey that lovely caramel hue. Rocks or not, what makes a whiskey a whiskey? The alcohol in question is distilled from fermented grain mash made of varying combinations of barley, corn, rye, and wheat.

World class brands like Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam and Jack Daniel’s are leading the charge to build a more sustainable future for big liquor, for the planet, and for the whiskey in your glass. From sourcing and agricultural production of crops to the vast amount of resources used and waste generated during the fermentation and distillation processes, all the way to product transportation and the long-term impact of the packaging, big liquor has a BIG footprint and a big responsibility to green it up. As the big liquor industry continues to grow, whiskey distillers are considering not only the time it takes, but also the immense amount of energy required, energy that takes a toll on the environment. This novel is written in a most daring and unconventional style which serves as a perfect medium for the author’s Satanic and subtle insinuation against the pious panderers of Puritanical hypocrisy.It takes a long time to make great whiskey, years upon years waiting for it to age and develop its own unique character in the barrel. Woodford’s earlier novels have been daring in theme and content “Vice Versa' follows these traditions.

The author has here chosen to depend not upon photo- graphic realism but upon that mad distortion of reality and that insane interpretation of life which has come to be known in some quarters as sur-realism. An English reviewer discussing this book called him the 'American Rabelais”. Woodford has deserted the realism of his more recent work and returned to his first love, the grotesque, satirical and fantastic, as evidenced by his book of short stories, “Evangelical Cockroach', which won him wide attention in both America and England. Overview: VICE VERSA is as satirical as 'Jurgen”, as fantastic as 'Orlando' and as crazy as 'Night Life of the Gods”.
