But good bourbon is made in a pot still, which allows us to cut out, with greater precision, the distillates that make people sick.\" \u2014Daniel Prieto Preston, C.E.O., Cacao Prieto, Brooklyn (above left)\n\n&amp;amp;#xB7;Learn to Drink Like an Irishman\n\n \"The perfect time to drink Irish whiskey is, well, not to sound Irish, but anytime. If I'm having a pint of the black stuff [Guinness], you'll see me with a dram of Redbreast twelve-year. If I'm home, it'll be Locke's eight-year neat.\" \u2014Jack McGarry, owner, The Dead Rabbit, Grocery and Grog, N.Y.C. (right)\n\n&amp;amp;#xB7;Don't Pay Extra for the Old Stuff\n\n \"Older isn't always better. I've had some whiskeys with crazy age, and I don't always find them delightful. The Cragganmore thirteen-year is every bit as good as a whiskey that's been aged twenty-five years. And American whiskeys in particular age much quicker.\" \u2014Leo Robitschek, Bar Manager, The Nomad, N.Y.C.\n\nHow to Get Primo Whiskey on the Cheap\n\nBill thomas, owner of D.C.'s Jack Rose Dining Saloon, has amassed a collection of 1,500 bottles. Here's how to start your own.\n\n 1. You're Not Limited to Your Local Stores\n\n \"Scan stores all over the country online. I often look for hole-in-the-wall places in big markets like New York and Chicago, where competition is fierce. The little guys will have hidden stashes. We found a ton of Macallan 25 this way. Be careful buying whiskey from eBay, though. I've seen a lot of fakes.\"\n\n 2. Look Beyond the Label\n\n \"If you are trying to find rare or really old brands, look for bottles with old federal tax seals\u2014 the long stickers that show the excise tax has been paid. This means they're pre-mid-1980s. Generally whiskeys stored halfway decently will last a hundred years. Never buy a whiskey that is milky or has a ton of sedimental breakdown in the bottom.\"\n\n 3. Don't Just Stare At It\n\n \"Whiskey is not meant to be adored. It's meant to be drunk. At Jack Rose, we try to price to sell. Other bars price to protect. We love when we come in the next day and see empty bottles. This isn't a museum; this is a library.\"\u2014L.P.\n\n Next: AMERICA'S BEST WHISKEY PILGRIMAGE"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
