It’s barbaric to ruin a fine bourbon by adding trash to it. Just drink it. Woodford Reserve is a bit of heaven on a brisk winter day.

Friday night, I stopped in at the neighborhood liquor store and the parking lot was FULL! We do have a big rodeo going on..but I was still stunned at how many folks were buying liquor. Thinking of buying some liquor stocks Monday morning....lol

George Washington had a working still at Mount Vernon.
Mt. Vernon rebuilt Washington's distillery a couple years back. It's not part of Mt. Vernon proper, but several miles down the road co-located with the Grist Mill (which is a VERY neat place to see in operation).
I went there last year ... they'd apparently messed up their first batch and were giving the distilling process another try. Having been to other distilleries (Makers Mark in KY for instance), the Mt.Vernon/Washington's Distillery is definitely "period" in nature.
I like Makers for mixing, but otherwise prefer Knob Creek, Jefferson's Reserve and Buffalo Trace.

From a distance, I thought that label said “ Krupp van Bismark’s family massacre”.
I was thinking...FREAKY, I gotta try me some of that massacre booze!

More likely, Obama’s fault. Get loaded while you watch your country be taken over by the dictator.

Ok, what do you call it then? And if that’s not bourbon, then what do you call southern comfort?

“Southern Comfort (occasionally referred to as SoCo) is a fruit, spice, and whiskey flavored liqueur produced since 1874.”
From Wiki - anyway, it ain't bourbon.

Why look when some brilliant and compassionate FReeper will find it for me? ;)
Thanks, and they ship too!

Jack Daniels is Tennessee Whiskey. It is the charcoal filtering that distinguishes it from bourbon. I’m not big on splitting hairs, but the folks at Jack Daniels are the first to point out that it is not bourbon.
Southern Comfort is a sweetened bourbon-based liqueur.

Too sweet by half, stopped drinking it when I started shaving.

Elijah Craig is my favorite. That burnt cask flavor is magnificent.

Ok, what do you call it then? And if thats not bourbon, then what do you call southern comfort?Jack Daniels (along with George Dickel) is Tennessee Whiskey. It includes a carbon filtering process that's not part of the Bourbon process. That's why it's not Bourbon, and is considered Tennessee Whiskey. As for Southern Comfort, I call it yuck. And, no, it's not Bourbon. It's a combination alcohol that contains fruits and spices as well as whiskey. Again, something not part of the Bourbon process.
