Scotch...

Cheap Scotch with coke makes a nice drink - but single malts never!! Always neat or a slight dash of water if you really insist!!

bloop2.....just one night...just one orgy of high quality single malt scotch (Isle of Islay distilleries in particular)....will change your mind forever...

Slimjim...impressive...you have learned well young Padawan.

now..what is the difference between Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey?

haha maybe when I decide to go out of my comfort zone intense, but im still in love with pouring some peach schnapps or apple sourz in any fruit drink so yummmmyy

"Scotch with coke is the only way I drink it. Are there better ways to drink scotch?"




NOOOO!! Sorry but as a purist there is only ONE WAY - Neat, maybe with ice ..but drunk quickly so as not to water it down. If you need to use a mixer you are drinking the wrong whisky!!

Neat single malts ...you know it makes sense.

Yes....Yes....Young Slimjim....feel the Power of the Scotch...

Thank you for my new task oh great master.

Well in terms of legal definitions, in order for a whiskey to be a "Bourbon" it must be made in the United States, produced from a mash containing a minimum of 51 percent corn, distilled at less than 160 proof or 80 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) and must be aged at least two years in new charred- oak barrels (though most Bourbon is aged longer).

Whereas, Tennessee Whiskey by law must be made in Tennessee, produced from a mash of at least 51 percent corn, distilled at less than 160 proof or 80 percent ABV, filtered through a column of charcoal made from Tennessee sugar maple trees and aged for a minimum of two years in new charred barrels.

But then everybody knows that!

In terms of personal taste and enjoyment....give me a Jim Beam or Wild Turkey over a Jack Daniels anyday.

Nice, but you left out the part about "sour mash" process, where some of the fermented mash from a previous distillation is used in the new batches to insure a consistent pH across the batches. And while legally Bourbon can be made anywhere in the US, much like Champagne or Tequila, which are only made in certain regions of France and Mexico, true Bourbon whiskey is only made in Bourbon county, Kentucky

Spain makes better "champagne" than France and at a fraction of the price!!

Strange how a name on the bottle makes people pay a fortune for something !!
