Please inform the author that he may use as many colorful Celtic stereotypes as he can find. He may therefore depict Celts as hard-drinking, red-haired, freckle-faced, hot-tempered, trouble-making, bar-fighting, blue-face-painted, war-crying, shillelagh-wielding, whiskey-swilling, barbaric, primitive, illiterate, sheep-loving, green-hatted, bagpipe-playing, potato-eating, Guinness-guzzling leprechauns.

"When single-malt whiskeys burst onto the market, we saw consumers become fascinated with niche products," says Morris. "People were willing to pay $25 or $30 a bottle if you gave them a good product or a reason to try it." Soon it was tequila's turn, both straight and in America's reigning cocktail...
