    You know, I feel like I need to inform you: when we send Crown, we aren’t sending our best. If you can find the Northern Harvest version, that’s at least as good as Crown is going to get.

    I don’t drink anymore but when I did…

    Everyone should see if their liquor store can get the Canadian whiskey called 8 Seconds Black. It is soooo good.

    Personally I think Gibson’s is far better, but Crown gets the job done.

      No, it’s just most of the Canadian whiskey that makes it to the US is bad. There’s lots of good whiskey from Canada.

      I cannot enjoy rye whiskey at all. I’ll tolerate scotch or Irish but I’m a bourbon man through and through. I have an unopened bottle of pre-Trump Woodford waiting for that glorious day.

        Haven’t had a drop since they advertised for him. Too bad, it was good stuff before they went MAGAt.

          Hence me exercising extreme discipline for when the news arrives😎

          I’ll happily turn it into urine then.

        Rye is my goto backpacking whiskey, but otherwise I’m a bourbon man.

        Or was, I guess, since I’ve retired from drinking.

            Originally it’s because the brand name kinda aligned with the activity (Bulleit Frontier). I was wanting to try a new whiskey, so it made sense.

            Then it just became what I grabbed before a trip because it was familiar and tasty.

            It’s also partly because I can drink Bourbon like water, but rye and scotch not so much.
