"The advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation ... forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of." -- James Madison (1788)

I was a Bourbon drinker for years. And still do on occasion. I will put it to you this way, It is a very common practice for the distillers in scotland to buy used Bourbon barrels in Kentucky. They use this to smoke thier malt before it it used in the making of whiskey. they like the way the used wood makes the Scotch taste. So I say cut out the middle man, support a US business that employs Americans, and drink the Bourbon. On a more private not I have 3 bottles of 100 proof bonded Kentucky Taven Burbon in my closet. These bottles are old, the tax stamps read 1957 and the Burbon was 8 years old when bottled. I will drink 1 at my oldeat daughters wedding, the 2nd at my youngest daughters weddind, and the 3rd at my 50th wedding aniversey, or on my death bed if necessary. So drink Bourbon and start a tradition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin.
I cannot drink bourbon, whiskey, hard liquor at all. I can barely drink beer as I'm toast on just about two beers. I think I must have an allergy to alcohol.

Oh and buy the way, Might I also suggest Laird's Apple Jack. A little easier then Bourbon. And a fine product of New Jersey.
