O. G. Dubs: Episode 35 (The Whiskey Rebellion)

In this episode we are drinking a Rye Whiskey Sling. This colonial era mixed drink is tied directly to TUX’s scandal involving American Whiskey and the people who were willing to go to war against George Washington because of it.

CORRECTION: TUX mistakenly calls the Temperance movement "the Abolitionist movement" at the beginning of the show. What was he thinking?

TUX does a deep dive into the Whiskey Rebellion. We toast to the first amendment and our rights to freedom of speech, assembly, and petition.
