Bourbon fans

Re: Bourbon fans

I'm sure you do, but of course Canadian whiskey is NOT Kentucky Bourbon anymore than a lightning bug is a lightning bolt. Bourbon is aged for years in charred, American Oak barrels, whiskey is not. The casks are actually where all the flavor and colors come from. For proof (sorry I couldn't resist the pun) of just how yummy oak barrels make Bourbon, the casks are sent to Ireland after one use to be used in their inferior Scotch Whiskeys. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I could never get into Scotch. It always tasted like old men and rotten smoke to me.

Merely stating my whiskey preferences and not wishing to offend

Crown black for me. Tho I'm quickly becoming a fan of the 'designer' whiskeys such as Red Stag. I can sip on a glass of that black cherry delightfulness all night.

Having a Crown Royal Black as we speak. Have to admit, I prefer it mixed. For straight up, I lean towards Jamesons or Bushmills Irish Whiskey.

I have a bar in my home that was fabricated solely from bourbon barrels. The colors and aroma of the wood is unique and perfect to lean on when needed.
