distilled alcohol has been a pride of Kentucky's for several generations. none of my family was involved in the cultivation of this delicate process, but many local aristocracies have had a hand in shaping the legacy of the creation and distribution of this fine drink

Image

the intricate process mostly takes place in the heart of central kentucky, the "blue grass region," known for its striking array of grasses and horseland.

my uncle's brain was hollowed by years of hallucinagenic drug use and emotional trauma but he was able to overcome his mental deficiencies to become a local spokesman for kentucky's bourbon whisky. his duties as field representative included passing out free flyers for bourbon events hosted as his home in the backroads of woodford county. it was a place where the local officials ans business leaders could rub elbows and their wives could share recipes and plan knitting excursions.

my uncle, Brant Caudill, passed away five summers ago. his wife, my ex-aunt Rita Mansell, is a pivotal figure in the future of the Scott County Chamber of Commerce. she is solely responsible for obtaining a franchise of Chilli's and Applebee's restaurants to locate closer to Georgetown's downtown campus unit of Georgetown University. i've regularly donated to her cause to wrangle a branch of Circuit City, but they were unsuccessful. I guess that's a good thing, now that the stores are all closing! :wink:

in short, how do you like bourbon whisky? i find that many people outside of the state prefer a single malt scotch. but here at the bayous, bourbon is the drink of choice. cheers.

a) Bourbon (with the rare exception such as Maker's Mark) is "whiskey", not "whisky".

b) viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58460

wrong. The 'e' was only ever to differentiate between Irish Whiskey and Scotch Whisky and that was all.
You new worlders got it all arseways.

It's better in comparison to average cheap whiskey, but I'm not much of a whiskey drinker to begin with so just give me a beer. I guess I'll never be considered a Kentuckian. Besides back in WV, we were raised on moonshine instead of this expensive shit.

I love bourbon. I drink it a lot whenever I go to New Orleans.
