Drogue, a tour for the house, I just heard that CyCon has as many members as Hive. That need's to be celebrated.

* GeoModder sticks out his hand in which Drogue VERY shortly undoubtedly will put a surprise drink

/me puts a 'surprise' drink in GeoModder's hand

Enjoy

Its only 125 proof though.

Tsk! Whiskey should be served at 105 proof, anything above that means it's been diluted with ethanol, and loses it's flavour

I think it's quite obvious who's gonna be the alcoholics of the floor

* GeoModder looks over Jamski and Skanky (in alphabetic order)

Actually, Skanky's has 39, while Jamski and I have 37 Which means the post after this I make, I become equal with Kass on the biggest alcoholics of all time list

Jamski: That's just silly +1s, and as the official bartender and list co-ordinator, I declare that they will not be counted (I'll ask Tass to move them to the spam deletion thread). Double posts, when replying to different people, are fine, there is a point to using two posts. Sentances that are just spam like that attract moderators.

Well, quickly, let's have an important philosophical debate and push onto the next page so noone can see them.

Bad Jamski, bad!

Ok then, the most important question of all: what would you like to drink?

Booker's Bourbon is the only uncut, unfiltered, straight-from-the-barrel, connoisseur's sipping bourbon available today. It's bottled at its natural proof of between 121 and 127, and aged between six and eight years.

It is the best bourbon. Apparently. I haven't actually opened the bottle yet, I am saving it for a special occasion.

[Drogue]

Ahh, must be different for bourbon. Scotch, straight from the barrel, is between 60 and 65% vol (about 105 proof). Glenfarclas is obviously, being a single malt, uncut and unfiltered. Wonderful stuff, that and Glenmorangie are my favourite malts

The only US whisky I've tasted is the stuff we get here, Jack, Jim Bean and Southern Comfort.

[Skanky Burns]

Ugh, Southo. That has got to be the worst bourbon ever. Although technically it is a peach liquor, not a bourbon. But you have to wonder about a product that attempts to look like a bottle of methylated spirits.

In my collection at home, I have Bookers, Makers Mark, Jack, Jim Beam (white, green, 4.5 liter barrel of black), Canadian Club, Wild Turkey and Wild Turkey Rare Breed. I think that is all the bourbons. Plus your assorted wines and liquors.

I'm not much into scotch, so the only one I have is Johnny Walker Black label which I bought when it was around $15 off.

[Drogue]

That's a lot of Bourbon What are the characteristics? Which work best for different things? I've heard of a most of them (except for Bookers and Makers Mark).

Peach liquor? Doesn't taste of peach Doesn't taste particularly nice either, but it's what my non-whiskey drinking friends will drink. At £15 a bottle it's a bit dear too. Decent blended scotch is only about £11-12, although Jack is ~£17.

can CC's be plugged to electricity?
