Without googling the answer, what whisk(e)y (name deliberately

Clarification, from the Department of Pedantry. I'm looking for the
only IMPORTED whisk(e)y.

Ah...I didn't realize that there was only one IMPORTED whisk(e)y (and I'm not
sure that's accurate, but I wasn't there, so ???), but if that was the case,
I'll guess that Joe Kennedy had something to do with it, and IIRC, that would
make it something from Seagram's.

Nope, but certainly can't fault your logic.

...and BTW, I'm still waiting to see your calculations on the oil spill and
Massachusetts...

? Did you ask to see those elsewhere that I missed? LOL...calculations
were easy. Saw some article that gave the dimensions of the spill. I
just multiplied and got the surface area, then looked online to find a
state that had that same surface area. For the record, this article
http://www.independent.ie/world-news...e-2159086.html
puts it at three times the surface area of Mass on May 12. I'd have to
use the wayback machine to find the article I saw before, but a google
search on the day I posted would probably unearth it.
