Closing
In Genesis 1:31, we read that "God saw all that He had made, and it was very good." This reminds us that creation, including the goods of the earth, is meant to be received with gratitude and used wisely.As G.K. Chesterton aptly put it, "We should thank God for beer and burgundy by not drinking too much of them." (G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy, 1908).While Chesterton doesn’t explicitly mention whiskey, he often writes about the virtue of moderation and the enjoyment of good things in life, including fine drinks. Whiskey, like a good cigar, has long been associated with gentlemanly refinement when enjoyed responsibly.
