Is Old Overholt straight rye whiskey same as bourbon?

The only difference is the majority of grain in the mash. Bourbon is corn based instead of rye so your Old Overholt Straight Rye Whisky is composed of a minimum of 51% rye and aged for a minimum of 2 years. ----------------------- Rye Whisky is produced at not exceeding 80% alcohol by volume (160 proof) from a fermented mash of not less than 51 percent rye and stored at not more than 62.5% alcohol by volume (125proof) in charred new oak containers. The Straight in its label indicates it was aged for a minimum of two years in the charred new oak container.

What is the age of a 22 WMR Marlin 782 micro-groove barrel serial 22755171?

1978 is the exact year.

To find the year of manufacture subtract the first two digits from 100, that will give you the year. Hence, 100 - 22 = 78, so that rifle was manufactured in 1978.

Marlin is still using this system currently so firearms made this year 2009, will start with the serial number 91, 100 - 09 = 91.

Does Waterford make a crystal whiskey jigger?

I think they did because we've had one for years but just broke it. It does not appear they do anymore, however. They should really consider doing it again as I believe they could sell a lot; they would make wonderful small "host" or "hostess" gifts at a (relatively) affordable price.

Did john jameson show up to his own funeral after chasing a barrel of his whiskey overboard?

No he didn't. Nor did he dive in the ocean after a barrel of whiskey. Nor was he attacked by a Giant Octopus. It's a great Tall Tale and promotional device for an excellent triple distilled liquor but that's it. The real man did create an excellent distillery in Ireland and was a great man who loved his workers and shared spirits with them. Even now 2 barrel men are shown on each label. I'm sorry if I ruined anything for anyone. If I did then I have another quick note, Santa, the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy are all made up as well. I love it when people find truth in obvious fiction though. It's proof that we are still a little innocent! Cheers!!!

Can 100 proof whiskey ignite at very cold temperatures?

No, the norm is to heat alcohol to ignite it, this causes the whisky or other alcohol to give off vapors which can then be ignited. The flash point (temperature at which a substance gives off vapors) of alcohol is 54F (12C), so anything below that will not ignite.
