Politics Thread

This is serious now. Politics shouldn't be messing with bourbon. What the hell is wrong with these people.
Maybe Bourbonman can tell us what's going on.

Exactly...now maybe i can find stuff here in Louisville again. It is getting more and more difficult to find certain brands here that even 2-3 years ago weren't an issue at all.

Maybe they'll lower the price to get rid of the surplus. I can increase my inventory then.

This is the most blasphemous statement ever written in the history of the English language:

"While bourbon has made a big impact on markets across the Pacific, it is a taste-and-style driven good that is relatively easy to replace. Canadian whiskies can fill bourbon’s niche in China’s expanding liquor palette, as can European scotches."

More than merely blasphemous, this is a statement that could only be made by an ignoramus....someone with neither taste nor a sophisticated palate. Scotch and bourbon are hardly substitutes. Well made varieties of each are sublime, but very different. I am a bourbon man myself, but also enjoy the occasional single malt scotch. As for Canadian whiskey, I must say I have never had one I liked very much. I am sure that there are good ones, but none has crossed my palate.

Can't get your Angel's Envy, Woodford Reserve or Bulleit? No worries, just pick up some Canadian Mist.

Did you notice how I changed the politics thread into a bourbon discussion?

Well played. And in honor of your heroic feat, I'm getting bourbon drunk tonight!
