Says its "smooth as silk"
Yeah, that was the joke after someone drank it for the first time and would get that look on their face... we would show them the bottle that said that marketing tag line... :hue:

The small batch Evan Williams isn't bad.
I'm just talking the basic EW.
I understand. My dad was a distiller at Heaven Hill for 30 years and so was his dad before him. Both until the day the died.

I think once I actually have something to celebrate I will grab a decent bottle. Until then I dont deserve shit.
Both are more decent than you'd think. No shame.
:dat: Not a big Jack fan but I really like Jameson.

This past week I've enjoyed some Swedish Aquivit we picked up in Stockholm some years ago, a nice glass of Johnny Drum, and some :amaze: tequila that my inlaws brought back from Mexico last year.

This was a real nice sipping tequila. Too good for pounding a shot. Had it over 2 ice cubes. :megusta:

My grandparents had a wine press in their basement (this wine press is now in my basement) and during Prohibition they made wine which my grandmother would drive to their restaurant in her Model A so be served in coffee cups. :fuckyeah:

Well that sounds like it be a cool story. Did they have to deal with organized crime?

My grandfather was just evading the tax man, prohibition was over when he went to prison.

It is a cool story, which spawned these 2 additional, related stories:
One day while my grandmother was driving a load of wine to the restaurant, her car got stuck on some train tracks. A cop showed up and offered to help push her car off the tracks but she declined his help because of the illegal wine in her car. She eventually got the car off the tracks and made her delivery.

Second story; I don't know if he had much dealings with the mob, but supposedly Al Capone's sister was a regular at his restaurant. It was a fancy, 3 star restaurant with a good reputation located in Greek Town, which was very near the Little Italy neighborhood, so this story is very plausable.

Bendy,

Did you see this, and are you familiar with it?

It's hugely popular in India. I've actually never see it State side.

If you like that give Naked Grouse a shot.
Interesting. Have you had it? Thoughts?

Noted on the Naked Grouse. Appreciate the tip.

I have! It's not my normal type of scotch but it's super smooth and a great blend. Nice sweetness and you could drink it all night. Heavy heavy malt and a pretty light toast on that malt. Really similar to Chivas which isn't a huge surprise since it comes from the same distillery.
:like: Interesting. I agree on the smoothness. Smoother than Chivas :doe: , no?
