Whiskey is crap compared to tsipouro. Trust me.

And yes, southern Greece, especially the deep south where I'm at, is a totally different beast. If a slav insisted they were "Macedonian" down here, there would be a problem. But f_ ck that.... drink some tsipouro dude.... ask for "Tsilili". With ice, and if you want, a little water. Better than any whiskey.
