Having once over-indulged on Gin, I now can’t stand the stuff. Since that day, I’ve opined that it tastes better coming up than it does going down.
Every liquor store should be separated into two sections.
Scotch and weasel piss.
Just saying...
Another good one!
Great analogy!
Remember this one from about 1969..
Tiffany Eubank won't, without her Green Stripe.
Nail Polish remover and epoxy thinner, embalming fluid, strong solvents, leather tanning chemicals, and a fungicide and weed killer that has possibilities as a diesel additive?
Why call these wonderful compounds impurities? They sound kinda handy.
The cogeners come FROM the charred lining of the barrel, as does the color, as does the flavor. When you consider that barrels and paper are both wood products, it becomes (somewhat) more believable that the Russians like paper vodka.
Wood Flavored Alcohol: Good.
Wood Alcohol: Bad, very bad.
You could write a whole schick on the difference. It would be fun. Maybe I will work on it.
Bourbon is ages in golden oak casks seared with charcoal for 10 years. Vodka is bottled and out the door.
Bourbon is made wit Malted Barley. Vodka is made with dirty potatoes.
Bourbon has a distinct flavor, color, and smell.
Vodka is like drinking hot water and looks like water. Way too much fun
Sitting with ice on the knees can cause serious participle damage. Merry Christmas!
I wondered about how they worked the placebos myself. I got a vague impression that both nights they gave them a certain number of drinks, but on the drinking night some of the drinks had alcohol in them. Either way, this is a hard sort of thing to control for. Hangovers are hard to measure.
;-D
Write it, but for God’s sake let me proofread it first :)
I’m with you. Stoli is my brand, my fallback is Kettle. Absolut is garbage, pushed by a successful marketing campaign.
Grey Goose is disgusting, overpriced and pretentious.
I have the feeling that it may not go well for you in the Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Political Re-Education Camp. Please remember to bring at least a full case for us.
That Kentucky limestone water is crucial, every other state's limestone water has iron sulfates in it, which stink to high heaven and can be tasted in the final product. Western Maryland, West Virginia ... there be a chemical reason them people is like they is.
Vodka is not made from potatoes. That’s a longstanding myth.
It is grain alcohol.
If you’re buying good booze the only recipe you need is straight, maybe a splash of water to open up a good scotch.
I’m rather fond of Tito’s and Dripping Springs vodkas both made in Texas. I don’t like a lot of taste in my vodka though, the cleaner the better. I drink martinis dry and up mostly. I do however also drink single malts and sour mash bourbon which have tons of flavor. Go fiqure.
It IS a great line, but I’m sure you know about the civil war roots of the game, and how that part of the game means exactly what it sounds like it means.
Scotch,
Love it! I am working my way through a bottle of Buchanan’s now. Do you have a favorite label to suggest?
