How is this an ad, rather than someone just providing an anecdote that is relevant to the conversation? OP surely is a bad advertiser if that is their company, considering they've been posting on hn for 4 years and this is the first time they've mentioned it. 2.25 years ago they said generally that whisky was an interest of theirs on a comment. That's it though.
