Yeah, none of them are very 'new' - that was included only to keep consistent with the thread I was parodying.


Anyway - I find Booker's to be the best of the bunch, Knob is fine but in my opinion it's the 'weakest' of the bunch.

If you can deal with the extraordinary true-barrel alcohol content, then Booker's would be my suggestion - although it's not really out of line with, say, nice scotch or the highest-end gins (IIRC Citadelle is something like 110 proof).

There was a greek shirt for sale the other week with something on the back like:

"My best friends and me...Jim, George and Jack" with a picture of the three bottles.

This was of course followed by the letters of every GLO on campus. Sometimes I wonder how we get away with these things.

For the bourbon lovers

Try Rebecca Ruth candies, made with bourbon and other liquors. They are soooo good (especially the chocolate caramel clusters) and her bourbon balls are to die for! I could only get them in Kentucky though, but I'm sure they have a website.

Technically it is, legally it can't be called bourbon. Only liquor distilled with at least 51% corn in Bourbon County, Kentucky can be called bourbon whiskey.

Okay, let me play a stickler here:
Jack Daniels is NOT a bourbon- it is WHISKEY
It is made in Lynchburg Tennessee...
ALL BOURBON comes from Kentucky...
Period.
And Bourbon is not a whiskey, it is different...

Sorry, just had to throw that out there..
However, I LOVE Woodford Reserve. good stuff.

Biggest bourbon myth: it has to be made in Kentucky - that's not true at all, but Kentucky is the only state that can put its name on the bottle. Need proof? here

Technically, all bourbon is whiskey - but you are correct that all whiskey is not bourbon. Like 10 people before you have pointed out that Jack is "Tennessee Whiskey", a catagory essentially created just for it (and Dickel, yes I know). The only actual difference between Jack and a bourbon is that the distillate for JD is slow-drip filtered through charcoal, supposedly infusing it with a bit more sweetness on the palatte. However, up until that filtration, it is made in exactly the same way as traditional bourbons, and 99.9% of people don't have a palette refined enough to tell the difference between the two processes. Compare these two to, say, Canadian whiskey, which uses a totally different process.
