Bourbon

[Nephew Twiddleton]

So its all basically "methode bourbonoise" as it were?

[Richter]

Bad liquor is almost an aesthetic.
It came to me in a house that literally was built up broken dreams.  It WAS a great 1920's joint, all plaster, steam radiators and crown molding.  Kept up right too, for awhile.  Then it started to decay into HP Lovecraft.  The stains crept down the walls, everything turned yellow, and the "responsible adults" saw horrible shit in the basement.  They retreated to the upper floors to bang heroin into their elbows as much as possible, writing letter to their children between jaunts to the land of nod.  They walked through like ghosts, no expression or engagement.  I wasn't even sure I had seen PEOPLE.  The matron was a genius brain-broke into the end result of a CoC campaign by drugs, life, and health issues.  She cooked one hell of a meal, and looked at me with a an un describable sort of awe when I introduced myself politely.

My two year old offer to line drive the addicts, get mom into a better home, and help fix up the joint still stands.  The two sons of the family have ownership, and ought to exert it a bit. 

Later in the evening, the jam session was going, and we were all BS'ing.  Musicians, pervert, and freaks all around.  Damnit, but I was among the people.  Tossing back shots of shit bourbon and vodka sucked, to be sure.  Somehow it FIT though.  This was not a place for fine "sipping whisky", this was a den of horrible things.  It was good then, but it might turn into bloody horrible at the drop of a hat.  Nothing else would have MATCHED.

I have to be the asshole from Kentucky here and point out that Jack Daniels is Whiskey, not Bourbon.

I think Dok mentioned that upthread also :P

I'm guessing you mean Woodford Reserve, which is usually my default choice (or Maker's if Woodford isn't available), since there's a nice balance between price and quality. There's better bourbon, but it's not usually enough better to justify the price IMO.

Yeah, I always forget the name. It's good stuff.

good vodka btw? stoli? gras/zubrovka? I like vodka yumyumyum

Not sure if you were asking me, but I'm drinking absolut. I don't really like the taste, but it has the advantage of being in my freezer, and having been free.

Yep I was. And those are two important advantages.

I have NOTHING!

Also i think weve just put aside any lingering doubts our foreign friends had that americans are in fact barbarians.

No.

They have to SEE.

I'd be surprised if I could ever see again after drinking that shit.

Here, a Bourbon is a crappy little biscuit, made from mud, and old horses hooves.

No such luck, you can't have a proper side effect without the FDA screaming at you about it.

I just tried www.peakfreanbourbonhenge.co.uk, just in case it exists (it doesn't).

Peek Frean are a legit biscuit maker. Or they were.

Jack Daniels isn't bourbon.

Evan Williams is the bourbon of choice in Tucson.  It tastes like every horrible thing that ever happened on our streets and highways.  It goes down like broken dreams, and when you wake up, you aren't sure why you didn't chase it with Drano.

Old Crow girl here.

Does it taste like burning?

Then you're doing it right!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That stuff is available in the Netherlands! I will buy/order it on monday, and try it ASAP. Also:

Evan Williams began distilling in 1783 near Louisville, Kentucky after emigrating from Wales

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Even Peruvians had the decency to put that swill they call pisco in a glass container.

Possibly because it would melt plastic, but still...

You haven't LIVED until you've laid down your $19.95 to swig Old Crow straight out of the half-gallon plastic jug.

By a certain value of "LIVED".
