“Pretty bottles.”
Indeed.
Alas, we cannot drink the bottle itself.
Not an expert on scotch. Pinch is a blended scotch whisky (scotch is whisky, if it is bourbon or from Ireland, it’s “whiskey”). Probably better if you had a single malt from one of the smaller distilleries in Scotland.
I’m always willing to try something new. That’s probably why i got pretty lit on my last wine tasting expedition, (chauffered).

To quote George Takei: Oh, MY!
Bourbon PING!
We visited the Bulliet distillery this fall. Really cool place, very friendly folks, and some very nice swag.
Reading the headline, I got very anxious. However, returning from my pantry, I can (with great relief) report no shortage of Bakers, Noah’s Mill, Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Redemption High Rye Bourbon, Knob Hill Small Batch, Basil Hayden, Elijah Craig 12 yr old, Chestnut Farms, Pappy Van Winkle 15 yr old, Willet, Bookers (and several other “lesser” sips). As long as civil society doesn’t collapse longer than a year, I think I’m OK. Phew!!!!!!!

I haven’t figured out the rational for drinking Scotch over a good Kentucky bourbon, but that’s just me.
It is seriously narcotic.
We need a whiskey rebellion of our own to ditch mitch mcconnell...
I say....why not both?
I didn’t realize there was other Bourbon besides Jim Beam...And then I have to ask, ‘Why’???
I just got a family sized bottle of Bulleit Rye a few weeks ago. Man that stuff is good. Meanwhile, I drive by Makers Mark, Jim Beam and Heaven hills on my way to work every day. And I work next to the Angel’s Envy building on main in Louisville.
My life is fairly Bourbon soaked even though I don’t drink much.
I like ‘em both, though I confess I do prefer scotch to Bourbon. But both are awfully good.

SIP Ahhhh!
You aughta see the bourbon selection in Kentucky Costcos. Tons of small batch stuff as well as the popular brands.
I’m not a spirit drinker; but I love the name, and the play on ‘Angel’s Share’.
But weren’t they saying something like this about chocolate a few weeks ago? I just stocked-up on baking chocolate at rock-bottom prices. Won’t need any for ages :-)

I love Bourbon.
