I cant even read this thread without images of the most painful nights I have ever had in my life. Thank you johnny walker black, Thank you tequila, and thank you peppermint schnapps.

Oh crap, now you've got me thinking about some of those times also, lol. [-X :lol:

heck no. Three nights like 6-8 months apart. Many years ago. I only drink beer now.

I chug-a-lugged a half fifth of scotch when I was 16 years old - was trying to get drunk at a dance #-o Hospital visit, stomach pumped, etc...... no fun. Guess I didn't learn my lesson cause Ive been a regular drinker ever since - and now I'm 60 and still doing it (not chuggin scotch :wink: - just sipping VO or vodka martinis

I grew up in Louisville and have been to the Maker's Mark distillery several years ago before they started charging for the tours. I highly recommend that tour if you get anywhere around Loretto, KY. A couple of years ago I got hooked on Wild Turkey American Honey. (Well, not hooked like that - I just keep some around. I'm an occasioonal sipper.) It's sweet, so if you don't like sweet in your Bourbon you won't like it. It's called a Liqueur and the honey in it just makes it very smooth.

I also like Turkey 101, Maker's Mark but the absolute BEST Bourbon I ever had I got from my Uncle Charlie. He had a friend that would go to one of the distillery's and buy empty barrels from them. Then he'd take them home, set a bucket out in the back yard, put a piece of cheesecloth over it, and set the barrel on it, hole down for a couple of weeks in the heat of summer. True, honest to God Barrell Whiskey. Oh Lawwwwwdy!!! That was some smooth stuff!!!! I don't know what brand it was and I didn't care. Apparently they caught on to that trick though because I've heard they make it impossible to do that any more.

I like to make Bourbon Balls each year around Xmas and I'll try to use Maker's and Ghiradelli chocolate when I make them. YYYYYYummy!!
