(66,432 posts)Excellent stuff. Im on, like, my fourth bottle since discovering it. I like Bourbon, but I dont want to give my money to Kentucky.

(8,304 posts)What is the major difference between whiskey and bourbon in terms of taste? I think I have tried both, but don't quite recall their distinct differences.
Aristus
(66,432 posts)Bourbon is aged in pine barrels that have been charred beforehand, giving it a nice, smooth, delicious smoky flavor.
And until next time...

(24,755 posts)A bartender made me a bourbon drink for Happy Hour yesterday - bourbon, cranberry juice, lemon, and sugar - not a bourbon fan.
The only whiskey I like so far is Pendleton's.
Aristus
(66,432 posts)Scottish single malt. That high-tension stuff from the outer islands. Peaty and smoky. Absolute Heaven in a glass.

Aristus
(66,432 posts)Breaking the seal on the bottle. It smells like a campfire
cilla4progress
(24,755 posts)I may or may not take to that.
I did have a bartender waft cedar smoke into an "artisanal" drink he made for me once.
I liked it!

Aristus
(66,432 posts)So my favorites are Nicholas the Chieftain Moran, and Richard the Challenger Cutler.
I love tank videos.

(24,755 posts)with my Tito's and Premium Indian Tonic water here shortly to catch the brilliant waxing crescent moon!
My only quandry is whether to have one big drink in my 20 oz metal cup or 2 small ones in my 8 oz?
First world problems, I guess! My privilege is exposed! 😳
Aristus
(66,432 posts)Sounds lovely.

Aristus
(66,432 posts)I took a few courses on the GI Bill, but I had been out of the Army for fifteen years by the time I started PA School. So my GI Bill benefits had long since expired.
