Yes, I know women drink these too. But I was watching a Clark Gable movie earlier, and I am also a man, so please forgive the gender-specific title.

When I started drinking spirits, I drank scotch. Someone shared a dram of Laphroaig with me at a renaissance faire. Nowadays, I drink bourbon. Completely different drinks. Anyway, going back to the middle of the last century, what socio-economic groups drank scotch, and which drank bourbon?

My impression is that ‘sophisticated upper-class urban-dwellers’ drank scotch, and ‘Southern Gentlemen’ drank bourbon.
