But on bourbon, I think we can agree that it's a great drink.   Clearly you don’t know much about me, or California’s attitude toward the military.

His responce as to my mention that soldiers (and a few famous ones at that, not just me) perfered Bourbon, was a he could care less about any soldier's preference. For his information: Bourbon was the result of labors by Josieh Craig a freewill baptist minister then living in Bourbon county Va. which of course is today in anouther state created by an act of Congress that disposed of the northwest territories. Bourbon is pure and simple a Southern drink. I realize that the great state of Ca. does not care for the US Military and his being from there explains a lot in his attitude. For his edification: Southern Comfort is not in fact a bourbon. It is a liquior. Also bourbon is a cocktail drink for the great unwashed. Pureists prefer it with water. That some leading figures in history happened to prefer it merely shows its value as an alcholic beverage. Maybe someday he will take a leasurely tour through both bourbon and sour mash country and learn a little bit about the drink. He seems to be a better than average learner in the evolution of his comments but I doubt he would have made it through the first week of my early platoons. Ted seems to be a resonable person.

The people who drink it don't make it a good drink, it's the quality of the batch.  And for fuck's sake, when something tastes like vanilla it's vanilla. I'm not going to say otherwise.

I just bought a bottle of it yesterday because it seemed to fit the bill of a very quality bourbon, but it left me wanting more. For my second glass last night I went back to my steady-girl... Woodford. Sublime, is what you said, and that is absolutely correct.Ranging to the west, but still staying with American whiskey - if you are ever in Illinois or Iowa, try to pick up a bottle of Templeton Rye Prohibition Era Whiskey. It is Capone's bread and butter and an excellent drink. It is tougher than hell to find - only 2000 bottles released per batch, but at $35 per bottle, it slides up right next to Woodford (for me) on price and satisfaction.

Drank it straight through the Army, not to mention the Citadel. For years we couldn't get the best bourbon becuase the Japs recognised it as the power drink of the world and paid premium for the best of many brands. By the way The American Ceasar and most decent WWII generals drank bourbon.<br>Two things you should know: Bourbon is one of the newest American wiskeys. Rye is what fought the Revolution. Woodford reserve rules the roost. Second when you describe bourbon don't use little girl adjectives like vanilla taste etc. and know this burbon tastes best aty about 90 proof. My son's left arm went numb once drinking a little more than he would later allow of Blantons 120 proof. I grew up on bourbon. Drank it straight through the Army, not to mention the Citadel.

I would say "I can't do ultra sweet drinks anymore," but the truth of the matter is that I never really liked sugary cocktails. Yeah, I can't do the ultra sweet drinks.

Get the 101-proof version and mix it with something. Well, SoCo is a liqeur — drinking it straight is for college students and silly people. Get the 101-proof version and mix it with something.
