Well, this is something I didn't expect to run across when trying to find someone that sells pawpaw fruit products:
when Roy Cohn was disbarred it was linked to the town that currently produces most of the whiskey consumed in the US

Cohn was disbarred for trying to inject himself into being an executor of the Lew Rosenstiel estate - Lew was the head of the Schenley booze empire, who tried to mask his sordid proclivities (as you would expect if Roy Cohn was his lawyer) with charitable contributions...
which apparently included becoming the namesake for the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences - where my uncle did his research that continually thwarted Russian military interests (and climate change disinfo efforts;
the school where I did my post-graduate studies on coral reefs and climate change, until the funding I was offered was withdrawn shortly after a pattern became apparent where faculty + administration being totes cool with staff members who sexually assault students 🤦🏽♀️
the school which just happened to be down the road from Nixon's Key Biscayne hideaway, getting a grand investment from a Friend of Roy Cohn in the late 60s, just after the Cuban Missile Crisis...because,
of course.
of course.
Back to the booze, though, I've written about this consolidation before - though the facility that is described in this article was the old Seagrams distillery, and Rosenstiel ran the Old Quaker label, they're all in bed with Diageo now.
And I'm still digesting the significance of this, so the only other comment I have to make right now is that I'm kind of surprised Diageo hasn't rebranded itself AlfaBooze or something.
OH WAIT. AlfaBooze.... AB InBev?
LOL. Somebody else can feel free to run that one down. It's a St Louis thing, right?

And thanks to @kovaldistillery, for making that specialty PawPaw liqueur so hard to find, 'cause that just advanced a 20-year long dig into the history of climate change disinformation another 15 years!
