    I bought two Lehrer audiobooks. Nobody's offered me a refund.

You should try suing!

If Templeton Rye had to pay a class action fine for not really making their whiskey "by hand", then why shouldn't Lehrer's publisher be on the hook for not really doing research by hand?

Wow, you're not kidding -Knew that a bunch of whiskeys were made from Indiana based spirits, but I didn't realize there were class-action lawsuits.

For the record, whatever Templeton is using, it tastes damned good. I just finished a bottle two nights ago. Really tasty imo.

I've always enjoyed it.

I came across that story yesterday when reading about a copycat lawsuit against Maker's Mark. WTF does "handmade" even mean with regard to whiskey? What utter nonsense.
