Quote
"Whiskey and everything that is connected with it, covered with a thick layer of spilled and dried facts, myths, legends, art, human stories. Shrouded in the smell of old pubs and excise warehouses. And there's nothing better than to immerse yourself in this world. Especially if there's a large glass of beverage.
