I would hate to waste Blanton's on that bunch. The blonde might actually be able to appreciate it, but I'd give the rest of them nothing better than well bourbon in Coke.

I enjoyed it, but is bourbon really so different from Irish whiskey? Both are pretty potent, by my reckoning. I’m not a spirits drinker, though, beer and wine for me.

To me personally, Irish whiskey tastes like bourbon diluted with vodka. All the alcohol taste & burn, half the flavor. I'm not a fan (Scotch though, very much a fan). I suppose if that's what they were used to, bourbon might taste like spicy jet fuel.

Agreed. When I taste spirits I can see what others enjoy, but it's not enjoyable enough for me to make it a vice. I'll stick with beer, drink of the plebes.

That settles it, I’m never trying bourbon! I trust my countrymen, or countrywomen, or folk, or drunks from the looks of it!

I'd love to see them try Stagg Jr. I still can't believe some of them rated Bulleit Bourbon better than Weller. Does not compute....
