I think I should probably try to find some decent bourbon now so I can find out if I actually like it or not but I suspect I wouldn't, I just tend to not like very sweet liquours. Even Baileys which is a favourite I can't stand to have too much of.

Maker's Mark is my usual, though my last trip to the liquor store I got a bottle of Elijah Craig, which was also quite nice.  Knob Creek is good stuff too.

Bourbon is not sweet.  If you are judging bourbon from drinking Southern Comfort, you're being sadly misled.

Southern Comfort is to bourbon as Drambuie is to Scotch, although Southern Comfort is nowhere near as tasty as Drambuie.

About the only way I can tolerate Southern Comfort is mixed with ginger ale or 7up.  Otherwise it's just too cloying.

True. Southern Comfort is like some kind of really nasty syrupy medicine.

These are encouraging words, now to find some good bourbon half way around the world from kentucky. Out of curiousity where is wild turkey on the spectrum?

I think you mean high, as in so high you wake up next to something scary.  Or in a ditch.  Or in Jail.

Wild Turkey was Hunter S Thompson's drink of choice.  While driving.  At night.  With a gun in his other hand.

That's about all you need to know.

There's no accounting for taste.


Even if the godlike HST loved the stuff, I gotta draw a line in the sand somewhere.

I'm not saying it's Old Crow bad, mind...

And Burroughs drank Old Crow, so you know.

Just wondering, WT seems to be the go-to bourbon round these parts, not a big friend of mine but at least better than the ol' Comfort. Maybe I should just stick with metho mixed with fanta and and filtered through a stocking covered in boot polish (an ex-christian brother taught me that one).

Doc, your avatar is really creeping me out.  I think we have a winner for next year's Touambies.

Thanks Miles, he is kind of an intense fellow isn't he? Just staring at him caused the following backstory to spring to mind: He is an ostracised youth who has longed for a particular young lady from afar, inspired by movies and other popular culture he turns up spontaneously on her doorstep to take her to the prom, convinced that in reality she must have noticed him too and their love is destined to be. Note the eyes that don't quite look in the same direction, those the the eyes the girl's mother has to look into as she explains 'Sarah left over half an hour ago with her boyfriend Danny... no I'm sorry she's never mentioned you.'
The moral here is that while life may be a story we tend to be the comic relief when we think we are main characters.
