[Avodah] Selling whiskey/bourbon

[Ben Waxman]

Rav Rappaport's point is that pre-boiling, even though we are not experts in
halita, removes the whiskey from the category of hametz gamur and puts it
into the category of safek hametz (at most).

What this meant for me (ie the nafka mina) was that since I don't sell
hametz gamur, I can sell my Crown Royal.
