Oct. 19 is also the date Gen. Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington after the Battle of Yorktown, and the "Man O' War" sounded appropriate. Just 5 days ago we commemorated England's conquest by French-speaking Vikings with R. Elgar's "Hastings 66" and in keeping with his blend of English & French spirits I wanted to use English & American ones. Lacking English whiskey I used the Crown Royal I bought recently in support of our Northern neighbors and (still, hopefully) friends. Slainte!
