It's good to know that if I ever become a drag queen that all the clothes I buy can double as filter bags!

Bushman, I've had Dry Fly's Wheat Whiskey!!!! WOW!! It is by far the BEST whiskey I have ever tasted! A buddy of my hated Whiskey before we started distilling. Now he can't get enough of the stuff.
