Is that where you just mix it in your mouth ? Shake you head like a boxer bulldog with a itching ear ? 

Works for me. Saves washing a glass.

It figures, all I have is Bourbon and Irish Whiskey.

Drink the Irish and put on a skirt. It'll work out fine.

I thought the whole idea of drinking was to get the skirt off...

WANTED !

I am putting a feeler out there for a bottle or 2 of Old Forester 2020 birthday bourbon slated for a September 2nd release. Doesn't seem to be anyone local to me that can or will have a bottle available. Maybe one of you guys will trip up on a couple you don't want

You're so funny.....

Have you all tried Old Tub yet?  If not you need to not much out there like it.  No chill or charcoal filtering and bottled at 100 proof.  For $20 she’s a steal.

Lol ! Ok ok, how about a little more achievable goal ? The Eric Church limited edition JD Single Barrel Select ? I'll try and post a pic but it stands out on the shelves next to other Jack.

My tastebuds start calling for my gag reflex whenever I try to drink a bourbon. Luckily, there’s plenty of both of our preferred spirits for us to kill our livers with. 

What??? That’s just crazy talk. But oh okay, I’ll come by and pickup all your Bourbon you don’t want. I might as well pickup all that .40S&W ammo you don’t want anymore while I’m there.

A friend of mine passed along to me a bit of that JD Angel’s Portion. I knew I was going to hate it but he insisted. I almost threw up. It was effing awful. Like an IPA, there’s a level of masochism that one must possess to drink that swill. I just don’t hate myself enough to drink it. 

[ReeferMac]

Brown liquor is an acquired taste. You have to keep at it!

Enjoyed this one quite a bit! Won't replace single malts, but a nice sipping whiskey.

I started my wife drinking bourbon by using something decent (makers) and mixing it lower power with 7-up. Its hard not to like bourbon seven. I have to hide the good stuff from her now. If you ever feel inclined for a bit of self loathing some evening and happen to find it in your booze cabinet

Totally with you on the IPA. Not sure what the draw is for a pine sol & urine flavored beverage.

I love Irish whisky and Scotch. Bourbons are just nasty.

My condolences. And let me say...yehaw....more for me.....

Anybody tried Clontarf?

I am just the opposite.  I do not like Irish Whisky or Scotch but love bourbon.

While I prefer bourbons, I'm certainly open to suggestions...lol. Last night I enjoyed the Clontarf (Irish), but tonight will be bourbon.
