I tend to agree with this sentiment, however, there are some whiskeys that are lesser quality and just aren’t very good. Considering that, I don’t think it’s snobbery to educate and continue to refine palates.

Just scored a bottled in bond/straight rye of Colonel Taylor - will be my secret Santa to myself!

What an asshole you are

Lots of love for BT by many.

I taste black licorice in it and can’t stand it.

Anybody ever done the Bourbon Trail? For those that don’t know, if your ever in KY, you can visit a lot of the distilleries on the Bourbon Trail. Old forester, makers, beam, heaven hill, Evan Williams, woodford, wild turkey, angels envy, four roses, etc. I’ve never done it but hear it’s a lot of fun.

I'm planning a trip for my 40th bday in a couple years. Im disappointed i missed the chance to stock up on heaven hill Bib which was only available in KY. I just bought the new 7 yr. Heaven Hill BiB for $40 and it tastes a lot like Evan Williams Bib which i could have got for $15. It's good just not worth $40.

Thanks, Brother. My Lawyer's office is in McPherson. I'll have to stop in there the next time I pay him a visit.

No. You aren't a pretentious asshole..... just a regular asshole. :D

Happy Holidays, you filthy animal!

Do you even remember posting this?

It’s fun but completely bizarre that you can’t actually drink at all of the distilleries because they are in dry counties. You’d think the state would love additional revenue but I guess not.

Did it for my 50th birthday. We had a great time.

We are pretty good at meeting new members and people visiting in town.

You don't have to be overly specific here but what part of town are you staying in and how much free time do you have?

I'm sure we can make something happen.

None of the major ones are in dry counties. This might be true for some, but none that I know.

Edit: Just because a county is dry, it doesn’t mean that all of the municipalities in it are dry as well. None of the distilleries along the bourbon trail are dry, regardless of the county.

I bought a bottle of Buffalo Trace had 3 drinks put it on shelf.

I'm still waiting for someone to request to try it.

I should test it with Stedman's 3 year old swill se if they taste similar.

Jack Daniels was dry at one time Like when I was 13. Jack's home was used(the basement) under the radar for groups of big shots who wanted to drink past the sampling limits. I m sure this changed over the last 40 years.

"Lynchburg is located in a county that has remained dry since prohibition – thus no alcohol can be sold. The irony is not lost on anyone that the world’s most popular whiskey distillery is located in a dry county. The distillery operates several different tours, most of which offer samples of the whiskey."

yeah I was referring to your taste in ass you have none.
