Any Bourbon Drinkers? (Page 1 of 2)

yeah I know lol sorry haha, I also listed Ryes as well my bad. I do know the differences but its just easier to say Bourbon rather than American Whiskey. Maybe I should say Whiskey but thyen I'm not much of a scotch drinker.

Also one of the nicest Bourbons (actually labeled as Kentucky style bourbon whiskey) I have ever had was one called Old Virginia and was actually made in france.

haha I was actually very sad not to get to try Georgia Moon corn whiskey whilst out, its the nearest thing to traditional moonshine apparently. Its clear, made entirely from corn, aged less than 30 days and even comes in a replica mason jar lol

Will try next time

Hair of the Dog, PantherPiss & Shoot Me In the Foot are current favorites.

It will also start your car on cold days and remove paint!

I once got very drunk on Jim Beam at a Birthday party at a Golf Club, my friends being the 18 year old idiots we were decided to have TVR shots (tequila vodak and rum) and then for some reason shots of Brandy. Brandy isn't the best drink to finish the night with after a full on session, let alone in shots. Well suffice to say my stomache was turned. I spilt my guts over the steps outside the function room, went back inside told everyone someone had yacked up, blamed it on my friend (which was believed), slow danced and made out with my girl (she didn't realsie of course lol) then went back to drinking!

I also have a great stoy involving a camping trip and a local brewed 8.4% cider! That one is still a running gag. I'll be brave and share eventually

Waking up in a sleeping bag in Baja after a campfire bottle of tequila and smores the night before. Realizing that a purge was iminent and crawling for the bushes. A heavy dew had caused the dust to turn into a very sticky clay. On all fours, covered with sticky goo and puking. Not a great way to wake up! Oh, and no water to wash off with except the 54 degree ocean!

very funny stories. I too had to give up the hard stuff, although it took a few encounters talking to Ralph on the porcelain telephone. I will share one that happened while in college at Alabama. I did not even know we were drinking that night, but was dragged to a friends house and presented with a full bottle of cheap tequila. The 3 of us took turns and downed the whole bottle in about 20 to 25 minutes. My first experience with tequila, I was bombed in short order. Then they decided it would be fun to go to a free movie in English building, Fellini's The Devils, which is spoken in Italian with English subtitles. I got upset because my eyes would not focus to read the screen, and began screaming and cussing everyone there. They had to drag me out of the balcony and get me down the stairs. I weighed a lot more than the 2 friends. That is the worst hangover I ever had, but would try tequila again many times before learning the lesson as Roy stated.

Canadians are tasty. A lighter style but unique in their own way. Most of the better ones are hard to find. Look for Crown Royal Special Reserve. It is probably available over there. There are several other aged reserves that are very good too. The best are all aged 18 to 20 years. Canadian Club has a reserve that is occasionally available.
