I prefer The Balvenie in a Scotch. Although we went on our honeymoon to Jack Daniels, many a year ago. I've been to Scotch & Bourbon tastings and you can find stuff to die for. Or as W C Fields said, "died in a barrel of whiskey, O' death where is thy sting?"
Woodford is damn good and I met the maker of 40 Creek, when he was touring at of all things a wine tasting. But this store has a wine tasting plus liquors, foods cooks in alcohol, mixes samples. You name it. plus it's a grocery store & hardware store.

There used to be a local sour mash distillery a few miles from here. Not so good, but the free weekends were killer. They used it to bottle vodka, as you couldn't in Kansas, despite at the time 50% of all gin & vodka came from Kansas. The cheap neutral grain spirits stuff.
However my true passion is wine, I'm developing 15 web sites devoted to wine

I'm going to snoop around about the sour mash, I don't really understand that. I haven't had Jack in a long time either, I'll have to give it another whirl.
