Of whiskey

Yeast (qv) metabolize maltose and glucose sugars via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway to pymvate, and via acetaldehyde to ethanol. AH distiUers yeast strains can be expected to produce 6% (v/v) ethanol from a mash containing 11% (w/v) starch. Ethanol concentration up to 18% can be tolerated by some yeasts. Secondary products (congeners) arise during fermentation and are retained in the distiUation of whiskey. These include aldehydes, esters, and higher alcohols (fusel oHs). NaturaHy occurring lactic acid bacteria may simultaneously ferment within the mash and contribute to the whiskey flavor profile. 

The feed system handles the storage, circulation, and temperature control of the whiskey. Siace permeabiUty iacreases with temperature, and considering the heat stabiUty of whiskeys, it is desirable to operate the system above ambient temperatures. Operating at higher temperatures faciUtates temperature control of the process, siace heat losses can be compensated by the addition of heat. 

Southern Comfort, which is technically a liqueur because it is a blend of whiskey and fruit flavors (including peach), was developed in 1874 by M.W. Heron at his bar in New Orleans.

Another possibility is to sue the gun dealer who sells a firearm to a person who is obviously intoxicated or otherwise incompetent. In 1997, for example, Deborah Kitchen was shot by her ex-boyfriend, leaving her paralyzed. The boyfriend had obtained a. 22 caliber rifle from a local Kmart store, despite his having, according to his testimony, consumed a flfth of whiskey and a whole case of beer during the day. The appeals court ruled that under such circumstances the store could be guilty of negligent entrustment of the gun. 

On the night of December 14, 1987, petitioner Deborah Kitchen was shot by her ex-boyfriend, Thomas Knapp, and rendered a permanent quadriplegic, shortly after Knapp purchased a. 22 caliber bolt-action rifle from a local K-Mart retail store. Knapp testified that he had consumed a fifth of whiskey and a case of beer beginning that morning and up until he left a local bar around 8 30 P.M. Knapp drove from the bar to a local K-Mart store where he purchased a rifle and a box of bullets. He returned to the bar and, after observing Kitchen leave in an automobile with friends, follmved in his truck. He subsequently rammed their car, forcing it off the road, and shot Kitchen at the base of her neck. 

There is now a commercially available Salvia tincture. It is marketed by Daniel Siebert as "Sage Goddess Emerald Essence ." This fluidextract of Salvia divinorum is intended to be kept in one s mouth until its salvinorin content has been absorbed. While it can be taken undiluted, it is quite irritating to the mouth if taken in this way. The irritation is due to its high alcohol content. It is better to take it diluted with hot water. The amount of alcohol taken even in a large dose of the extract is not sufficient to produce alcohol intoxication. The effect of the tincture is that of Salvia, not that of whiskey. The alcohol is in the tincture solely as a solvent. The tincture...
