beat it until something golden flows out). I like full, complex dark beers, stouts, Octoberfest vat bottom stuff, etc. A Bud would make me ill. Draft beer from a bar would KILL me (of course, being an immortal that would be no problem!).
That's okay, FL. Us JD fans wouldn't take it too personally. Clearly the Klown's poison of choice would be Barbie shots and Cosmos. So, really, it's all good. That just leaves more for me.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:That's a very anti-American thing to say. Jack Daniels is the best-selling bourbon in the world.

And that, brothers and sisters, is the kind of foolishness you get people who insist on denying biblical theism. A good illustration of any as the length people will go to avoid acknowledging basic truths.Proinsias wrote:I don't think you are hearing me. Preference for ice cream is a moral issue
Like bourbon, scotch isn't homogeneous. Glenlivet is floral, peachy & slightly sweet...maybe a little grassy. I prefer scotches from Islay which have hints of iodine, salt, tar and campfire...in-your-face scotch which isn't for everybody. If you are not accustomed to whisky, go with something smooth & well-rounded: Canadian Club would be a good choice, ditto for Crown Royal. You can also use mild whisky in cooking. Your JD would be borderline for cooking but it is do-able.Philip wrote:Maybe I should stick with Scotch? I hear Glenlivet is supposed to be pretty good?

Take some time to read the thread. My moniker is Liechtenstein, and you'll see a photo of me at Amsterdam's Schipol airport.

I somehow doubt that the people who post on the whisky site get drunk on the stuff, as most people had $100 - $1000 bottles. I guess you could get drunk on an expensive bottle of whatever, but why would you? If getting sloshed is what you're after, an $8 bottle will do the trick just fine.B.

Tell me FL, when you worshiped your whiskey idol by drinking too much, did you then pray to the porcelain god?Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:I somehow doubt that the people who post on the whisky site get drunk on the stuff, as most people had $100 - $1000 bottles.

I stopped buying expensive whisky because I came to understand that it had become an idol that I cherished alongside God.
FL
Nope. I would just collect bottles and never open them. I enjoyed having unusual and expensive whiskies supposedly to offer to guests but no guest was ever worthy enough. cslewislover helped me understand that I was involved in some sort of idolatry, so one by one I opened the bottles and drank them over a long period of time. My form of idolatry never involved drinking too much but now that you mention it, I understand B.W.'s comment better:RickD wrote: Tell me FL, when you worshiped your whiskey idol by drinking too much, did you then pray to the porcelain god?
I think what we have here is a cultural misunderstanding. Having a lot of alcohol doesn't mean that one drinks oneself into oblivion, but I'm sure Americans would think so. This may be because of your history: how your nation came to be and the groups that settled it, and - of course - Prohibition.B.

I do not drink, my husband does not either. We have already many bottles.
