Reading 1870s branded content to write 2020s branded content. They got to use a lot more obscure words (circumbendibus! toper! moiety!) but also get kinda whingey and use a few too many numbers and, um, randomly racist anecdotes, so I don’t know how good of an example they really are to follow. A lotta hot goss about the Irish whiskey trade in the 1800s but nothing that’ll be particularly shocking or amusing if you’ve read Mayhew. Interesting to learn the same types of casks are still used today. Contains a line about ‘silent spirits and fictitious whiskey trade,’ which could certainly have been the title of Elvis Costello and Cait O’Riordan’s late 80s critically acclaimed but never formally released in America folk duets album.
