Both Germans and hyphenated Americans developed the Museum. It was the dream of Kuno Franke, Professor of German History. Its first pieces were gifts of Kaiser Wilhelm, while Adolphus Busch, the St. Louis malt-and-hops king, and his son-in-law, Hugo Reisinger endowed the building itself...
...Scotch is made primarily from barley and gets its flavor from the soft water of Scotland's heather-clad hills, the peat which is burned beneath the green malt, and the sherry casks in which the spirit is matured. Irish whisky is also made from barley (not potatoes as is commonly thought) but with an admixture of other grain, rye, wheat or oats. It is not "smoke cured" and thus keeps its smooth malty flavor...

Glenlivet's Smith Grant has never advertised in the U.S., thinks that U.S. drinking habits are against a big market for his whisky. Like most Scotsmen, who say that straight Glenlivet "goes down singing hymns," he is horrified at the U.S. custom of drowning Scotch in water or soda, gulping it down iced...
