Taste first, THEN buy the bourbon Login/Join

I was feeling magnaminous, I suppose. The distillery looked normal. The owner seemed both informed and intensely serious about her craft. She had bottles of straight bourbon for sale. Why not?

Because she made IRISH whiskey and labeled it straight bourbon!

Now I have to drink a fifth of Irish whiskey.

I won't drink it if I don't like it, cost be damned.

Maybe gift it to an Irish drinker?

OK, it should go for all flavors, not just bourbon. Well, unless you're stocking a bar and are looking for brands to influence others (idiots.)

Perhaps a mislabel?

Can’t hurt to ask

My sister and her husband did a trip to Ireland. While there they did a tour at Jameson's and he picked up a couple special edition bottles only available at the distillery. I don't care a bit if they aren't Bourbon, they are still some very fine sippin Whisky's.


I've stopped counting.

I’ve written the local distillery. I hope to learn more. Perhaps the mash bill?

It all tastes the same when mixed properly with Coke.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

Or, as in the above example, an appreciation for fine whiskey Wink

I am suffering with this whiskey, or whisky, or perhaps bourbon. Suffering, I tell ya.

An Irish cop? Talk about stereotypes. LOL

When I was a kid, back in the 1940's, my favorite older cousin walked a beat in Brooklyn. There were not a lot of Jewish cops. Solly (Solomon) was my hero, and I wanted to follow his footsteps. Somehow, life took me in a different direction.

Yup, but here's where I throw the curve ball:
I haven't had a donut in over 28 years!

One of the absolute best partners I ever had was Jewish.
First day we met / worked together, it legitimately took us about 15 minutes to figure out that we both just "got it". And to this day, one of my best friends.

Yeah, but can you twirl a traditional night stick, like my cousin Sol did when he walked his beat?

I also remember the green police call boxes on street corners. The cops who walked the beat had a key to unlock them, and they could call in to the precinct.
