the use of continuous column stills and the use of a non-barley mash is not so closely associated with the production of "light" whisky (whisky with little flavor due to distillation at a very high degree of alcohol by volume). For example, nearly all American whiskey is produced using column stills, and all American whiskey that is labeled as Bourbon, Malt, Rye, Rye Malt, Wheat, and Straight whiskey is required use a distillation level not exceeding 80% alcohol by volume (abv).[1] Because of this constraint, much of the American column still whiskey may actually be less "light" than some Scotch or Irish Single Malt pot still products. In the United States whiskey produced at greater than 80% abv is formally classified as Light whiskey and cannot be labeled with the name of a grain or called Malt, Bourbon or Straight.[1] Similarly, many American whiskeys are grain whiskeys that use little or no barley in the mash, and yet are far from being Light whiskey.

"After the uprising of the 17th of June the Secretary of the Writers Union had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
stating that the people had forfeited the confidence of the government and could win it back only by redoubled efforts.
Would it not be easier in that case for the government to dissolve the people and elect another?" -Bertolt Brecht
I remember very vividly, a few months after the famous pacifist resolution at the Oxford Union visiting Germany and having a talk with a prominent leader of the young Nazis. He was asking about this pacifist motion and I tried to explain it to him. There was an ugly gleam in his eye when he said, "The fact is that you English are soft". Then I realized that the world enemies of peace might be the pacifists - Robert Hamilton Bernays -
