\"This crazy, crazy whiskey world\" continues and it won't end soon, because there are thousands of interesting and curious facts, as well as whiskey brands around the world.<\/p>\n

The last few years in America, whiskey brands have increased, but during World War II, distilleries shut down to produce fuel and penicillin to help the troops. Nothing is said about the many bourbon bottles donated to the army, but it may have been a secret so the German military didn't benefit either. After the war whiskey production quickly resumed and like Scotland, Kentucky now has more bourbon casks than the population.<\/p>\n

Shortly after these difficult years in 1956, the US military decided to replace William with Whisky in the military phonetic alphabet. Good decision, made on at least a few bourbons!<\/p>\n

Let's stay in the bourbon<\/a> with the origin of the name. Some people believe bourbon was named after Bourbon County in Kentucky. Others believe it was named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, a major whiskey trading port in Kentucky, but we know the name comes from the French dynasty of the Bourbons, who named the county and the street. It's about time we took the lead and named a street in our town after whiskey. It might be funny, but it would also be boozy. Musician Drake with his whiskey brand Virginia Black<\/a>and our favorite Irish brawler Conor McGregor with his Proper Twelve brand have similar whiskey inspiration, but not to name a street after themselves or a desire to make more good money. American music idol Bob Dylan owns Heaven's Door whiskey, and here you can see other celebrities owning various alcohol brands:<\/p>\n

We'll leave the American whiskey states and travel to New Zealand, where whiskey was discovered in 2006 by Ernest Shackleton's expedition in 1909 in an attempt to reach the South Pole. You can see the story at the link, and try a replica whisky at the Caldo Whisky Bar.<\/p>\n
