Ah, jesus.... the absolute worst hangover I ever had was after a night drinking Black Velvet... I thought I was truly going to die. I cursed Jack Napier's name for a week after that episode.

Originally posted by sjegWell, sjeg, it's really quite simple. I've been to Scotland and Ireland and have tried your fine whiskeys. Maybe I was a little harsh, so I apologize about calling you a piece of "human toilet-tissue"; however fine as your whiskeys are, and they are fine, they just can't come close to the sweet whiskey, made from Iron-free water coming from a cave right on the site of the distillery that is only 17.6km from my in-law's house, aged in charred-maple casks for several years, and come out more mellow and smoother than silk worn on a $1,000 dollar-an-hour hooker...well, that's Jack Daniels...'nuff said.
That is probably the most stupid thing you have every posted, which is quite a statement, considering.
(Why am I 'a human toilet tissue'? Your ridiculous nationalism convinces you that JD is better than the finest Scotch or the finest Irish whiskey? If you believe that, and apply it as a generqal principle in life, then you're the one looking foolish and mis ...[text shortened]... pleasures in this world. Sorry- I doubt I'll ever be able to take you seriously after that.)

Like I said earlier, I prefer Scotch to Bourbon, for most of the reasons mentioned (smoother, better finish, etc.), but I disagree with you that it is "vastly inferior" as a product. That doesn't necessarily mean I agree wwith that moron Chancre and whatever nonsense he spouted off. I'm just saying there are quality bourbons out there and I know of many pe ...[text shortened]... called as that is completely trivial to me although I see that it's very important to you.
Thought this thread was about beer?
Just went to a beer festival and tasted some lovely porters made in local breweries which are probably not available widely but if you visit a local real ale pub or microbrewery I'm sure you'll find something nice.
And whoever said ale shouldn't have hops is pretty much right.
Hops weren't introduced to beer making until relatively recently - 15thC or something.
Before that it was ale all the way!
