Stanton, it's interesting conundrum. I came to understand early in my married life (about 1982 during a visit up from Africa) that the French absolutely love Bourbon. I can't explain it. I carry bottles of it when I visit relatives. I took engraved bottles to the mayor of Pretot-Sainte-Suzanne in 2019 and to the French Historian Dominique Francois for the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

I figured this out about 1982. If I had not been in government service, I would have immediately cornered the market on selling American bourbon in France. (And at a recent party for a hard corps group of para military contractors at my home, 4 bottles of bourbon disappeared in an instant - fortunately reinforced by bottles they had brought); the Glenlivett sat unused.
