Cincinnati's history as a beer-making center is well documented and has been undergoing something of a revival lately, but while almost all of its large breweries are long gone, the city still ranks as a world leader in another alcoholic beverage category.

National Distillers Products Co. began making John DeKuyper & Son cordials and flavored brandies in the mid-1940s at what was originally the Carthage Distilling Co. on Paddock Road. The facility - well, not that same facility - is still operating on the site, and the DeKuyper brand, including Peachtree, Sour Apple and Hot Damn! liqueurs, is the top-selling cordials line in the world.

And it gives the middle Mill Creek valley a real pleasant odor much of the year (that and the taste makers).

Growing up in Golf Manor, I always loved the scent of Creme-de-mint.

I agree that the guy looks a little wacky, but why in the world would you confuse that guy for Alabama ExPat.
