Rare Breed is a "barrel-proof bourbon," meaning it is bottled directly from a variety of barrels at the proof it reaches in those barrels, with no added water to lower the proof or dilute the flavor.

We really are facing the end of civilization as we know it.

Do what you wish with JD, but you better NOT do anything to Boone's Farm or MD 20/20.
Is this another example of the Nattering Nanny New Prohibitionism?
Yes and I am old enough to remember when Maker's Mark sealed in the gold wax was 101 proof. I was told at the liquor store that all of the high octane was now sent to Japan. I still retain a half bottle of Bookers which I will reward myself with on November 2nd. It is truly an exquiste Bourbon and is a lovely 126 proof. As a true daughter of Kentucky I could never bring myself to drink "Jack in the Black". I have made the pilgrimage to Loretto to express my thanks to Mr. Samuels for his gift to the world.
LOL. I guess it must be dedicated to W.C. Fields.
Jack Daniels is gasoline.
Oh man. Do you need an explosives permit to purchase that stuff?:)
We all picked away at it though, and it's gone. < sob >
Barrel-proof liquors are outstanding. El Tesoro is an amazing tequila, mainly because it's distilled just to 80 proof.
>> Personally, I prefer long pulls of some Kentucky Burboun..
I have a partial bottle of Jim Beam I bought in 1995. It tastes very good. I also have a full (unopened) bottle of Jack Black I purchased about 1999.

You can always go with some Kentucky Straight Bourbon. There are some quality distilleries in Kentucky that make a mighty fine product.
Pretty wild feature articles ... "The Lost Weekend" ... "Blacked Out and Blue" ... "Hooching with Hemingway" ... "On a Bender in Mayberry". Or how about "All Hail the Piano Bar"?
Amazing.
Just as long as Johnny Walker never changes, I'll be good to go.
Wow. I didn't know that boozing had such a following.
:-)
Seriosuly though..that's cool man..Now that my wife has her wine fridge and all, I'm gonna build my "sipping collection" rack over the bar. Figure it will benefit twofold. Exercise the discipline and not crack any bottles too soon. Have a nice collection
see ya..
