American Honey

Wild Turkey Bourbon.

I bought a bottle today, and I have to say I'm impressed. I've been known to sip the odd Makers Mark in my time, but I think this is the best bourbon I've every sipped. Mind you, it does say it's a liquer blend, so that probably accounts for something, but still, it's a nice drop.

I assume there's a few of you have taken a tipple of this one by now?

I've never sampled Wild Turkey.

I have tried Pendelton and it's very smooth Canadian whiskey made right here.

Isn't Wild Turkey like Southern Comfort?

Both of which sound like euphemisms on a brothel menu. For all i know about such things.

Wild Turkey is just a bourbon. I like it in its original form, but this new version is very nice. It's basically just the standard bourbon mixed with a honey liquer.

Wild Turkey and So Co were what we drank in college dorms. Good stuff...barfy memories. I wish I hadn't ruined the taste for myself way back when.

Southern Comfort tastes like a less herbal, less sophisticated Drambuie. Based on bourbon. Nice over vanilla ice cream.

Southern Comfort = Liqueur
Wild Turkey = So NOT liqueur.

Some of you suck at being alcoholics!

I've never liked the smell or taste of whiskey. Don't know why, it turns my stomach and not from a bad experience or anything.
