75 years ago today, Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st Amendment, which made the Volstead Act unconstitutional and repealed the 18th Amendment.

What? It's repeal day? I had no idea. I will have to plan some pro level whiskey drinking for this weekend!
I dunno...there are a couple of counties south and west of you where you can get a drink/bottle/mason jar behind virtually every house in town, most with 'drive-thru' service. 
Let's not forget, Virginia is the birthplace of bourbon on this side of the pond - in 1619.

Someone posted a youtube video the other day.
If was some guy talking then drinking half a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label. He mentions in the video that it's a $200 bottle of Whisky....
I was at my local liquor store in Salt Lake yesterday and noticed the same bottle.
Price.... $507

Ah, sorry...my bad. Should have realized that.
But the Old Dominion did have some mighty strange laws about alcohol, and we didn't get actual liquor by the drink until the early '70's. Prior to that, bars could serve beer with 3.2% alcohol to those over 18, while 6.4 beer and wine available for those over 21. No booze, unless you went to a licensed "bottle club" that would mix whatever liquor the guest brought in a bag. Such places would usually have a wall of lockers, so you wouldn't have to schlep your liquor around. Yeah, prohibition was a long time going in Virginia....
Now as to Johnnie Walker Blue, the distributor was pouring that *for free* at the MAR. Green Label, too as I recall, though I was consuming liberal quantities of my favorite Glen Morangie - for free.

*for free* meaning you had to blow him in his tent after lights out was called or was that only galen's version of the story?

I've heard several people mention "MAR"
I could proably figure it out with a search, however if anyone would like to make it easy on me?

The regional distributor was pouring four kinds of Glen Morangie and *five* versions of Johnie Walker under the big tent. Now at first MAR at Pearl's Pond, we had a single malt tasting; admission was a bottle of your favorite. One chap brought a Glen Morangie '54. Later saw that same bottle under lock and key at a huge discount liquor store in Chicago. $3,500.
