While I was at Uni there was a scandal involving the Chemistry Society's annual dinner - about a week later it was discovered that a four gallon container of absolute alcohol had gone missing from the department's (locked) bonded store. (Possibly grew in the telling, may have only been one gallon)

most liquor is pure alcohol with some form of flavouring added.

"That's a charge? God, it's not even a walk through the park. It's inane," the magistrate replied. Link

If you ever get a chance, read 'Cod, by Mark Kurlansky' about the history of the North Atlantic Cod Fishery. There are records of Vikings and also Basque fisherman who found the continental USA centuries before Columbus.

And did their best to make sure none of their competitors knew about it - but there is considerable evidence that other countries' fishermen were visiting the cod fisheries well before Columbus, and occasionally landing in Newfoundland and possibly further south.
