That is very good stuff.Law's Whiskey House is good stuff. The Four Grain is awesome. And I'm not usually much of a bourbon drinker.

I've been a big fan of bourbon for a long time. The Jim Beam fire brought up a question I've pondered. How much whisky do these companies have to have in warehouses at one time to satisfy the market. It's mind boggling.
So, I found it.

Jim Beam is aged 4 years.
This one warehouse had 45,000 barrels
Each barrel has 150-200 750s in it.
Hold on now.....they have 126 warehouses in Kentucky housing 3,3000,000 barrels...or at least 495,000,000 750s.
Wow.......

Ummm.....you would be committing a cardinal sin if you mixed this with anything but a splash of water and maybe an ice cube.

If we are ever downtown together I'll make sure to order you a Shirley Temple with a splash of Mikes Hard Lemonade

Then stick with the cheap crap that it doesn't matter what it tastes like.
This stuff is smooth with a great whiskey flavor.

There's such a huge difference in quality when it comes to whiskey. Even between a $35 bottle and a $65 bottle.

There's a lot of scotches that have that burn and I don't care for them either. I can stand a little burn, but definitely prefer smooth. And smooth is what you generally get when you buy a pricier bourbon. My next bottle will be Eagle Rare. Heard great things and then got a taste the other day. Very good. An easy "starter" scotch is Glenmorangie 10 Year Original. It's on the cheaper side and super simple. It's what I keep on hand for friends who might not be accustomed to scotch yet. Very easy to drink.
