My deal old grandma used to herself all slopped up on some rott gut called PM Deluxe. She used to make pitchers of manhattans with it when we had big family get togethers.
It tasted like crap but it might be the fountain of youth as she lived to be 93 on a diet of PM Delux, Entemanns cookies and Viceroys

Scotch is a nice used barrel whiskey...........:D
I drink a little scotch from time to time only when bourbon is not available on a flight as I'm not a fan of TN moonshine errr whiskey. I'd love to have a great aged scotch but I can't bring myself to spend top dollar on anything other then pure...Ky..bourbon.
Did I mention I'm a Ky native? :DOfficial XUHoops Resident Legal Scholar.

Does the United States have an official drink?? If not, it should definitely be bourbon! Bourbon is one thing you can count on that will never have its manufacturing out-sourced to another country. If you should ever pick up a bottle of bourbon and find "made in China" stamped on it, the apocalypse is right around the corner.

As close as it comes. Its the official spirit.
On August 2, 2007, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution sponsored by Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) officially declaring September 2007 "National Bourbon Heritage Month", marking the history of bourbon whiskey.[16] Notably, the resolution claims that Congress declared bourbon to be "America's Native Spirit" in its 1964 resolution.[16] The 1964 resolution, however, does not contain such a statement per se; it only declares that bourbon is a distinctive product identifiable with the United States in the same way that Scotch is identifiable with Scotland.[13] The resolution has been passed each year since.
Loving reading this post. I have my favorite brands (one in particular) but rather than focus on brands I try to focus on flavors. I like the spiciness of a bourbon that has a mash bill high in rye content. Nothing sweet that one gets from bourbons that use wheat instead of rye. I avoid those that are too burnt, because they use a char in the barrel that burns into the "red line". Definitely don't like those that smell/taste too much like corn.It's time for a bourbon on the rocks!

Bourbonman is a good friend of mine and shows wisdom in lots of areas. But, trust me when I tell you, if you want to know anything, I mean ANYTHING about bourbon, past, present or future, listen to bourbonman. The man knows like no other when he speaks on this topic. In fact, he lives it!

4 roses is a really nice pour. It was bought by Seagrams in the 50's and was export only until 2004 and was only sold in Ky until '07. Now it is in 40+ states. I was skeptical when the wife kicked off the tour there but, I hate to admit that she was right and that it was/is a great place (much better than our Woodford experience). As to taste I would describe it as a little smoother than Maker's and a little harsher than Woodford.
