Old TV shows like Charlie's Angels, Dukes of Hazzard, 21 Jumpstreet and The A Team have all been turned into movies.  How did they do?  What else could be converted...Fall Guy anyone?
And now for the Scotch:

Joseph Washington Dant was a well-known Kentucky distiller who in 1836 gained a reputation for making his whisky using a log still. For those not versed in the distillation arts, that’s essentially a hollowed out tree trunk with copper piping running through the center. The logs would then be filled with mash and steam would run through the copper pipe for the distilling process. Dant would go on to own a proper distillery some 40 years later, and generations of his family would continue to work in the industry. Eventually they would honor his legacy with a bottle bearing his name in the late ’50s. The brand would stay in the family name until Heaven Hill purchased it in 1993; the bottle has stayed in Heaven Hill’s core lineup since, though it is no longer made in a log.

J.W. Dant's Blended Scotch Whisky is very surprising for an $11.00 bottle.  The nose is a little medicinal with a hint of cinnamon. The taste provides an oaken maltedness with subtle nutty hints.  Probably best for a nice cocktail but stands surprisingly well on it's own.
