whiskey!

[Bailey Guns]

I don't get the attraction to Stranahan's. I think it's one of the harshest whiskeys I've ever tasted. And at $50+ per bottle? Forget it. I bought a bottle, had one shot and gave it away.

I stick to Buffalo Trace and Bulleit.

Wow. There are so many. As a general mixing beverage I prefer Jack Daniels and it is great for just sipping, Jefferson's Reserve is excellent for sipping and has some initial bite with a sweet orange finish I like very much. I like scotches for drinking straight (over ice or with water) and single malts are my favorites because of their distinctiveness in flavor over blends. They are my preferred drink with cigars. I would suggest that you do a little research on the various regions because there are wide differences in taste from region to region. 12 years or older tend to be smoother. Most will be in the $45 to $75 range.

My experience is that any whiskey that comes in a "Wine" bottle ain't worth the time.

When I lived in Bardstown, we used to drive out to Bullit county and buy a keg of whiskey, mix it with Mountain dew and get (***** ******-***** ****) drunk.



for those NOT in the know, straight barrel whiskey will kill most people.

Good thing you aren't most people.

Stanahan's=Diesel fuel. Never understood the allure. Plus they were bought out by Proximo Beverage, a NY company.
