I'm sure most people have heard about having a swig of the ol' Hootch. I had just assumed that this was some colloquial slang for alcohol. However, in Whitehorse I found out that "Hootch" is an actual product whose name, over time, has become synonymous with alcohol. (like Kleenex and Ski-Doo are synonymous with tissue paper and snowmobiles, respectively).
Like the Newfie Screetch, it is basically has become an icon of the local culture. Many thanks to Stephanie for her generous gift!
Cheers!

Hmmm, I can't tell who's face is behind the bottle!
Can you purchase “Yukon Hootch “ anymore ?
