to purchase my bourbon in Montgomery. I must admit that the first bottle I bought was for the name… a gag gift for an office party. After being told how good it was , I searched out some of my own!

Them’s fightin words, pard.

Scotch is for a more refined palate. It is shamefull that you are possessed of an inferior palate and thus are not able to enjoy scotch. A creature as low as yourself deserves pity from all of us.

YES, so please don’t poke that hornet’s nest!

I would define “cheap” bourbon as anything less expensive than Jim Beam black (~$17 for a 750 ml bottle in my neck of the woods.) “Really cheap” would be anything $10 or less a bottle.

I tried Ezra Brooks as a mixer for coke last week and thought it was just fine, but IANABourbonConoisseur.
