It's all whiskey. People are talking about scotch in this thread. Scotch is whiskey. Burbon is whiskey.

I love Bourbon. The +1 and I have gone down and done the Bourbon Trail twice. My brother inlaw and I do a Bourbon tasting at least once a month. I will have to post the pics of my EMPTY bottle collection. Go to is Markers. Favorite to date Pappy 20 year old before it went thru the roof. Trying to get hold of Elmer T. Lee

I'm enjoying a little time tonight with Bulleit Bourbon. My friend Jim Beam said it was ok. If you have never tried it, you really should.

Reminds me of my Gram; my mom's mom. She had three husbands; divorced one and buried two. She was a tiny hell-raiser. Her first husband, mom's dad, was her highschool math teacher in Florida although she came from Toledo. Gram loved partying with friends half her age while she pounded 7 and 7s, when I was a teenager.

My niece gave us a gift cert to that bourbon place up the street referenced above. The +1 will be happy. 
Very good food, too.

If you want to try a really smooth bourbon (excuse me, its whiskey from IN), let me suggest Virginia Black. Song lovers like Rob, and others, probably know of "Drake". Seems Mr. Lots of Money Drake, who sings great love songs as well as dirty rap, wants more money and came out with this new bourbon. It's so smooth I could drink it like pop....... my 21 year old grandson brought it over tonight to see if it passed my taste test. It's like $20 for pint but it really is a smooth drink if you like it neat.

Ha ha. That was my Dad's drink as well. Unfortunately, he drank way too much of it.

^Did it have to do with his death? My Gram also smoked. She had clogged arteries and had her carotid arteries reamed out twice. She had a pacemaker. She eventually had a bad stroke that was her slow end. She died at about 76 years-old which beat my mom's death at 68 years-old.

It's hard to say, Patty, but a life of hard drinking could not have helped. I think my dad was 73 or so when he died.
