funny. there was a liquor store at 21st and Penn called Giley's. I went in after school one night because I was having a party and Va. people buy their booze in DC. So I picked out a vodka and some other things, and I knew i needed to get scotch. I was not a scotch drinker and asked for a rec. the guy said "Giley's house brand is great. we private label over stock from the big brands."
I knew enough about scotch to know it is the ultimate brand sensitive drink so I said "hmmm, I'd have to taste it before i could trust that," thinking that would end it. instead the guy pulled an open bottle from under the counter and poured me a shot.
that led to every friday going there after class and feigning ignorance, "Old Bushmills? what is that?"
I always got a free shot. what was weird was that at the time the neighborhood was heavy homeless, with tons living just up the street a few blocks. I wasn't particularly well-dressed so I'm not sure how they filtered their clients for free booze worthiness.
