Bourbon America's Spirit

 

 

george are those granite tiles on your counters?

 

Oh man I love bourbon.

Manhattans are

 

My fav is still Jack Daniel's black label. Very good bourbon. I got into the habit of drinking it when I use to travel and was alone at night alot. At times I wish I could still drink the stuff, but alas I can only taste, not imbibe.

 

The question I'm often asked is: What is the difference between bourbon and whiskey? ...or.. What is the difference between Scotch and whiskey? It's a common misconception that the term "whiskey" refers to one certain taste or brand and that Bourbon and Scotch are a liquor all their own. Not so. Whiskey is a common type of liquor. It is produced and bottled all over the world, each country in its own way. Bourbon is America's version of whiskey ...Scotch is Scotland's...and Candadian is...well...you get the idea. But, make no mistake...they are all whiskies. There are five major categories of whiskey for sale: Bourbon, American Blended, Scotch, Irish, and Canadian.

 

Sorry ..Jack Daniels is not Bourbon---it is a Tennessee Whiskey

 

Cubby, I would NEVER confuse the two. It was Bob, not me.

 

Goes to show you, I dont remember from when I was drinking and now that I am old I dont remeber now that I do not drink.
Jack was still my drink, when I could.

But Black Label, Old Number 7 is a sour mash wiskey. Not a burbon, I stand corrected. When inebriated I answer to anything. Bruce, Bob, hey, amoung others.

 

Yeah I said FU to the folks that wanted 2500 for 3 small pieces. For $300 in granite tiles I can still say I have granite tops
