These are not high end bourbons...

I dont even really consider Blantons that high end although its my fav

Hancocks, Eagle Rare Single Barrel, Van Winkle, and W.L. Weller 12 yr-old are high end bourdons.

TY Sir,..being from KY this post has hurt me in more ways than one. Obv though if you are drinking quality aged bourbon you add nothing but ice, and maybe a little water.

Ohh and this:

The word "whiskey" is believed to have been coined by soldiers of King Henry II who invaded Ireland in the 12th century as they struggled to pronounce the native Irish words uisce beatha ([size="1"]IPA[/size]: <SPAN class=IPA title="Pronunciation in IPA">[??k?? b?ah?]</SPAN>) meaning "water of life". Over time, the pronunciation changed from "Whishkeyba" (an approximation of how the Irish term sounds) to "Whisky". The name itself is a gaelic translation of the Latin phrase aqua vitae, meaning "Water of Life".<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-Lloyd_General-Ignorance_0-2><SPAN>[</SPAN>1<SPAN>]</SPAN></SUP>

At one time, all whisky was spelled without the extra 'e', as "whisky". In around 1870, the reputation of Scottish whisky was very poor as Scottish distilleries flooded the market with cheaper spirits produced using the Coffey still. The Irish and American distilleries adopted the spelling "whiskey", with the extra "e", to distinguish their higher quality product. Today, the spelling whisky (plural whiskies) is generally used for whiskies distilled in Scotland, Wales, Canada, and Japan, while whiskey is used for the spirits distilled in Ireland and America. Even though a 1968 directive of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms specifies "whisky" as the official U.S. spelling, it allows labeling as "whiskey" in deference to tradition and most U.S. producers still use the historical spelling. Exceptions such as Early Times, Maker's Mark, and George Dickel are usually indicative of a Scottish heritage.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-14><SPAN>[</SPAN>15<SPAN>]</SPAN></SUP>

In the late Victorian era, Irish whiskey was the world's whisk(e)y of choice. Of the Irish whiskeys, Dublin whiskeys were regarded as the grands crus of whiskeys. In order to differentiate Dublin whiskey from other whiskies, the Dublin distilleries adopted the spelling "whiskey". The other Irish distilleries eventually followed suit. The last Irish "whisky" was Paddy, which adopted the "e" in 1966.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-15><SPAN>[</SPAN>16<SPAN>]</SPAN></SUP>

"Scotch" is the internationally recognized term for "Scotch whisky" however it is rarely used in Scotland, where grain whisky is generally referred to as "whisky" and single malt whisky as "malt".<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-16><SPAN>[</SPAN>17<SPAN>]</SPAN></SUP>

In many Latin-American countries, "whiskey" (wee-skee) is used as a photographer's cue to smile, supplanting English "cheese".
If you want to drink some great Bourbon try "Bookers"

excuse me can i get two jack n cokes down here
and keep em coming

I think your analogy is a little off. Drinking whiskey is a totally different animal than drinking beer.

Two bad (dumb) experiences with the whiskey now causes me to instapuke if I consumed any amount of said whiskey/whisky.

I prefer to consume beer and lots of it without dealing with the whiskey mess.

I can hear this
I started drinking with a vodka phase
after one of the most puke-filled nights of my life three years ago, I can't even think about the taste of vodka without feeling sick
but whiskey has never betrayed me like that
best drunk in the world imo (next to wine drunk, but who wants to be a whino)

I agree....that is a sad thing to say

Makers Mark on the rocks please...might drink the whole bottle if the game's going that bad. Sigh.

But seriously, I hate rum. Bacardi can LMB.

Vodka is ok

Jager sucks ass

Scotch is fucking great

Captain is gross

Crown is just meh.... ( I know a lot of people love crown, why?)

Wild Turkey will work in a pinch

MD 20/20 is where it's at if you're broke and need a 4 dollar bottle of whatever...lolz

I remember a Playboy article a while back offering up staples for hosting your boys night poker party. Pappy & a young Woodford (at the time) were considered high class bourbons with other liquors thrown in for variety. I've always liked Pappy & watched many a friend pour a nice glass neat, maybe an ice cube or two. There is always somebody that pours 6oz of coke over $150 booze that just boils my blood. I think I understand the hangover argument with cheap booze (& we all enjoy stirring the pot with these buddies) but I quickly find myself offering to refresh those drinks for them with 6oz coke, 3oz rock gut.
