January 27, 201412 yr Booze Map of the World Crushes Our Spirits BOURBON people, bourbon! You are correct. When I took the tour at Woodford Reserve a month ago, our guide had some deservedly harsh words for that tasteless clear stuff called vodka.
January 27, 201412 yr When I took the tour at Buffalo Trace, their vodka (Rain) was one of the tasting choices.
January 27, 201412 yr I don't really understand how people don't like Bourbon more than what I hear. It saddens me.
January 27, 201412 yr I'm gonna look at this through rose-colored glasses: I suppose that just leaves more bourbon for me.
January 27, 201412 yr For NKY bourbon fans Pee Wee's is having a bourbon tasting on Feb 6th. $20. Light appetizers and 4 bourbons: Breckinridge, Lexington, EH Taylor Small Batch, and Van Winkle 12 Yr Special Reserve.
January 27, 201412 yr Hummm...I find that a little hard to believe, the USA being a vodka nation. With that said...you can do more with vodka than you can with bourbon(whiskey) in so far as mixed drinks go, which I would take a guess that's how vodka comes in first. I doubt many people are just slugging back shots of vodka at bars, but getting it mixed drink style. I am no bourbon drinker. If I am out drinking somewhere and it's not a beer, it's usually going to be a mixed drink, possibly a vodka and oj or pineapple juice. Lots of vodka and cranberry juice drinkers out there. Can't do nearly as much of that with whiskey. So, really, once you stop to think about it, it does kind of make sense I guess, more people in this country drinking vodka than other sprits.
January 27, 201412 yr When I took the tour at Buffalo Trace, their vodka (Rain) was one of the tasting choices. We toured Buffalo Trace a couple years ago and the wife purchased a bottle of Rain. Traitor! I bought a fifth of double-oaked at Woodford Reserve. Still trying to decide if I like it.
January 27, 201412 yr We toured Buffalo Trace a couple years ago and the wife purchased a bottle of Rain. Traitor! I bought a fifth of double-oaked at Woodford Reserve. Still trying to decide if I like it. My father in law bought a bottle of that when we did the Woodford tour. Cracked it open on Christmas. I definitely like it, and I'm by no means a Woodford guy. Really good stuff.
January 27, 201412 yr People really choose to drink vodka? I mean besides college chicks? My grandfather drinks a little bourbon but a great deal of vodka. Go north and you'll find less and less whiskey every mile. And bourbon is definitely on the fringe outside Kentucky.
January 27, 201412 yr The wussification of America continues!!! Guide at Woodford said people who pay big bucks for designer vodkas are just throwing their money away, because the stuff doesn't have much taste whether it's $10 a bottle or $100. I say "Amen" to that.
January 27, 201412 yr If you are gonna do clear, it's gotta be Silver Patron, and not mixed with anything other than ice. I hate Vodka, Gin etc...
