BYCU

Move over Scotland and Kentucky. The Japanese are taking over whisky. [From *Forbes*](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324504704578410750713496218.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com): At the 2012 World Whiskies Awards . . . Suntory's Yamazaki 25-year-old was voted World's Best Single Malt, while Nikka won the top spot in the Blended Malt category. Suntory now exports well over 10,000 cases a year to the United States alone, with France and the UK not far behind. With their exceptional equilibrium, smoothness and delicacy, these whiskies are redefining an ancient art. When I ask Mike Miyamoto, a former master distiller at Suntory, why their whiskies are becoming so popular across the world, his reply is terse: 'Quality. We are trying to make our whisky better every year.'"

The article is pretty interesting, though lengthy.

Gardening . . . with BYCU

One of the best drinking stories of the year comes from the (yak) *Huffington Post*. It combines gardening, distributism, and beer. [Booze From Local Crops Booming](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/03/booze-local-crops%5Fn%5F3207747.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com).

> The process is sometimes referred to as "grain to glass" ”“ the beer-and-whiskey version of the foodie slogan "farm to table." Both phrases imply a connection to fresh, local ingredients. Tuthilltown is part of a larger hand-crafted booze movement that has Wood Creek Distillers in Colorado growing its own potatoes for high-end vodka and Wigle Whiskey in Pittsburgh using local, organic heirloom rye.
