It's a tad early here on the left coast to be considering sipping a glass of hooch, but I thought you all would enjoy this. Real Americans enjoy bourbon whiskey!

Some mighty nice folks at the Makers Mark distillery. If you're ever in the area, drop by.

Sometimes in the morning you can smell the distilleries. Interesting. Lot better than the paper mills in Savannah when I was a kid.
Yeah, the tour at Heaven Hill Bourbon Heritage Center is nice. The tasting is fun. We go everytime someone comes to visit. The whisky/bourbon heritage of this area is quite interesting.

Bourbon is whisky but whisky is not bourbon.

The whisky/bourbon heritage of this area is quite interesting. It dates all the way back to the Whiskey Rebellion IIRC. The distillers moved into that region to avoid paying the Federal excise taxes on distilled spirits.
Happy circumstance let those tax dodgers find some of the finest spring water on the planet. And we are all richer for that.

Gee, where does that leave us single malt drinkers? (I will admit that bourbon does taste like scotch...after adding sugar to the scotch)

My personal guzzle is Wild Turkey 101, straight up. Sip that sucker gently or pay the price. Puts jut a bit of h2o into the mix, and cools slightly.

I didn’t like bourbon for a long time. Then somebody handed me a Maker’s Mark, I like bourbon now.

My personal guzzle is Wild Turkey 101, Thank you so much for jogging some very pleasant memories of my grandfather. I haven't thought about that kindly old man in a while and your mention of WT brought back some thoughts of him on his front porch with 'two fingers and one cube' in his rocks glass.

I know what you mean. I mistakenly swore off Bourbon Whiskey because of Jack Daniels.
I know it's not Bourbon, but at the time I didn't. Now I know better.
Some nights I like a good single malt Scotch and others it's a short splash of Bourbon paired with a nice cigar.

Easy there, FRiend.
There are some very American Americans here, who cannot bear Bourbon. Who class it with Gin or worse, Vodka.
Personally I cannot stand the taste of what is known as Bourbon (Jack Daniels, Maker’s Mark, etc.)
I perfer single malt Whiskey, such as Lagavulin, Glenmorangie, The Mccallen, Glenlivet, Laphroiag, etc.
Straight, no ice. A dab of clear water,in a sterile nosing glass, please.
and,...if you should have a decent cigar as well, well, THAT would be lovely.

I used to live a couple of miles down the KY River from the Wild Turkey distillery, sometimes I could smell the mash. I like bourbon except for the fact that it makes a person smell like bourbon. My favorite was Woodford Reserve, which was up the hill a ways from me. That was the quality to be sipped and savored. Cheap bourbon is good for barbecue sauce and ribs.

Woodford Reserve is great whiskey, and no doubt. It’s the “call” brand at Casa RKV. Normally though, its WT101. Mainly because of the near $15 a bottle price difference.

Last time I drank Jack in the Black like that, I was about Bluto’s age. That said, if I’d continued in that mode, I’d a died, just like he did. WT101 is widely available, just like Jack, and I like it better. To each his own.
