In a Dec. 12 "Brow Beat," Katie Kilkenny referred to a monkey found at an Ikea as a Japanese macaque, the species its owner believe the animal to be; Toronto Animal Services has since called it a rhesus macaque.

In the Dec. 10 ?Luxury Explainer,? Katy Waldman characterized the world?s second-oldest whiskey as the world?s oldest and mistakenly referred to that spirit as a blend, rather than a single malt scotch. The article also included the whiskey company Adelphi in a list of brands that blend spirits and apply filters and flavorings. Adelphi markets one blend, but it is primarily a bottler of single casks and does not use flavorings or filters. Additionally, the article stated that it is illegal to modify bourbon in any way after it is aged but before it is bottled. While U.S. law prohibits makers from adding flavorings or spices to bourbon at that stage, makers can legally add purified water in order to reduce the whiskey?s strength. Lastly, the article stated that experts agree that bourbon doesn?t necessarily get better with age, but the question is under considerable debate.?
