Helpful safety tip: Leave Ukrainian vodka alone, or you will learn about regrets, things that might have been and decisions you made that went terribly,....terribly awry.

Luksusowa is my choice. Not expensive. Tasty, and no hangover.

The article says that Call had his slave teach Daniel the recipe, it doesn’t say the slave invented it.

Re; Ukainian vodka. I’ve never even seen That vodka here in northern Michigan, but I’ll steer clear. Thanks for the humorous safety tip. Regrets indeed...

Just wait, so called descendants will be crawling out of the woodwork like roaches looking for reparations. They are stupid to even open this door.

You’re correct, it’s not bourbon, it’s a blended whiskey. Bourbon must be made from at least 51% corn. The best that can be said of it is that it is a mediocre blended whiskey with a terrific ad campaign. Very few folks are aware that you cannot legally purchase this product in the county in which it’s made because it’s a dry county-—go figure.

So let's give credit to the white man who taught the slave. I guess NASA has free time since they ran out of Islam's scientific contributions to crow about day one.

A good reason to take care of yourself and live longer: One day a Kenyan witch doctor will get mistaken for an aspiring rapper, and you won't want to miss that party. The liquor stores will sell out.

I missed that: stopped reading with the Jack Daniels error.

We used to live near enough to the George Dickel distillery that we could smell the mash cooking when the wind was right.

And all this time I thought Brian Williams came up with the recipe.

Now a bunch of leeches will come out of the woodwork, demanding “reparations”.
