My Wife and I have enjoyed Doc Martin, a British sitcom about a surgeon who becomes a GP because he can't stand the sight of blood. Of course, he makes all sorts of miraculous diagnoses and life saving decisions.

But the real miracle worker in the show is the town's jack of all trades, Bert. He has managed to get whiskey to come directly out of the still looking and tasting like it has spent ten years in an oak barrel. This is just one of those details that makes me think that the writers are ignorant, or expect an ignorant audience. Anyone who cares about whiskey is going to know that Bert can't just fire up the still to fill an order for five cases of whiskey.
