Say what you will about the past session of the state legislature â at least they accomplished one semi-constructive thing: By a vote of 26-1, the Senate declared May 21 to be âInternational Tennessee Whiskey Day.â While Iâm not completely sure how a state legislature can declare an âInternationalâ anything, at least they were able to come together to recognize the importance of distilling as an industry in Tennessee.
