Single barrel sour mash Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. Just can't get enough of this stuff, and it's 90 proof...
Let's talk bourbon. Recommend something.

Nah, it's made with corn, of course. But try Elmer T. Lee, it's smoky, chocolaty, smooth like a baby bottom, friendly, hospitable, warming, accomodating, inviting, sophisticated, pleasure to look at; damn it's only 10am, can't wait till the evening comes.

Anything that is chocolately has to be good, I will make sure I try it this holiday season. Do you think a Canadian bar will serve Elmer's?

They'd better. But it's inexpensive 20 USD a bottle in K&L in San Francisco, I'd say it's a good bang for the buck!

Eben, checked out their web site, does sound like a fine bourbon, one to be shared with a good cigar. Wild Turkey was my choice when I was partaking of the firewaters.......

I am more partial to single malts... But from that description you give I might have to give this bourbon a try.
What kind of glass do you drink this from?

"Malt or brewed beverages" are defined as "any beer, ale, porter or similar fermented malt beverage containing one-half of one per centum or more of alcohol by volume." So just guessing a double is twice as much good stuff......

Ok, I did some digging and here's the scoop for the context I used it in. Single malt is a wisky made from malt barley. A double malt is a blend of two single malts.
So my first joke answer was not that far of the mark ;-)

Officially, this is your glass, but I like to use straight wide glass to get my nose into that aroma as much as possible.

That stuff they drink from the jelly jars is 180 proof. The true aficionado can eyeball it in the light to detect the aldehyde and ester strings aka "floaters", swirl it around, sniff the bouquet, and declare it to be Thursday's vintage. The quality control is to burn it in a small saucer and take note of any colors in the flame. Anything other than pale blue and the batch is discarded, or sold to Yankees. Cheers!

I learned that from a neighbor of my grandmother back in the early Sixties. The old guy was still making moonshine up until the early 70's. Mississippi was still a dry state until the mid Sixties. I was a young teen back then and did some wood hauling for the old guy for his still. He took pride in what he did and had a good reputation for a good product. He was good about sharing information with the younger generation. I sampled enough to be literally breathless. The stuff can evaporate most of the moisture off your tongue. It's an acquired taste, but cutting it with the local water which was high lime content and seeped from chalk beds was interesting. Hardcore was drinking the stuff straight. Once was enough. It was better than Everclear though.

It's a brand of pure grain alcohol (ethanol) that's around 170 proof as I recall.

Sort of the closest you can get to drunking rubbing alcohol without going blind?

That's methanol. PGA is essentially tasteless, just think extra distilled vodka.

Now that I'm done with the White Lightning (not the studio flash), a very fine Bourbon I've tried is Woodford Reserve by Labrot and Graham out of Versailles, Kentucky. 90.4 proof and smooth as silk. It's the only Bourbon I sip straight. Here's their addy; www.woodfordreserve.com
