Tap water is almost assuredly safe from Naegleria, but there have been very rare exceptions.

In the 10 years from 2006 to 2015, 37 infections were reported in the U.S. Of those cases, 33 people were infected by contaminated recreational water, 3 people were infected after performing nasal irrigation using contaminated tap water, and 1 person was infected by contaminated tap water used on a backyard slip-n-slide.

Hey Denny, hope you're still answering questions!

1) I'm curious about the creative process that goes into the Parker's Heritage collection and Heaven Hill Select Stock. Does it start with seeing that you have adequate inventory of a product that you find stands above your traditional profile, or do you try and plan these things much father in advance? Unlike many distillery's limited edition products, Parker's Heritage, HHSS, and even William HeavenHill tend to vary widely in their expressions year to year.

2) On a similar topic, were you ever worried about Parker's Heritage 11? On the surface it appeared a little bit of a head scratcher; one year younger than Elijah Craig Barrel Proof and not even at barrel proof. I will say that I was very pleasantly surprised by the end product, but I went into it with hesitation.

3) This new age of bourbon popularity has come down with a few "trends" in what the enthusiasts have been looking for. Nowadays the emphasis in the community seems to be well aged, cask strength products with a particular emphasis on wheated or rye whisky. How does a distillery try and respond to shifting trends when it comes to making a product which may potentially take a decade or more to yield product?

What are your 3 favorite Bourbon/Rye whiskies, outside of what you produce?

Really appreciate you taking the time to reply to all of us today. Big fan of your products and the consistent quality you put forth. Keep up the strong work!
