Which? The bourbon or the whiskey? Personally I can't stomach either!
Tis Bundy all the way for me or vodka.
I could be wrong, but I think when Americans say whiskey they usually mean bourbon (which is all terrible), as opposed to scotch (which can be bloody good). I used to drink bundy all the time, but it usually seems to result in incidents like the aforementioned mormon encounter (eg feeling hungover as a mofo and being unable to function properly at a time when I'd love to be preaching some evolutionary theory). Now I stick to beer, and less of it. It was my first grad by the way. I have to finish this stinking phd before I can celebrate a the graduation that I'm really looking forward to. I imagine there will be much bundy consumed THAT night, but its a special occasion.
Oh yeah, mormons - what a weird cult. Right up there with best of them.
It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!

Had I not found this love with you
Bourbon is whiskey. It is made with at least 50% corn. It is aged on oak barrels. Jack Daniels isn't bourbon. It is a sour mash whiskey. It has been charcoal filtered. If your only experience with "bourbon" is Jack Daniels, or Jim Beam, you're missing out. Bourbon is my sacrament (trying to steer this back on topic!). Like the former Governor of Massachusetts, William Weld says, "Scotch going down tastes like bourbon coming up."

As for mormons, and growing up during my high-school years in southern utah, I ALWAYS felt the outsider. One of my best friends who I thought I knew very well, went off on one of them missions for two years. This was a guy that I partied hard with. When he came back he also had one of those blank stares, and I didn't know him anymore.
I'm personally glad I left Utah, and quite frankly, have never looked back.

"A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden

Yeah, I'm really not sure what the differential is scott because I dislike both of them, but I'd be more likely to drink bourbon than scotch or whisky, but only if the Bundy had run out!!
None of it appeals to me, nor does Southern Comfort! :eek: VILE STUFF!!
Nah I'll be sticking to me Bundy and I'll even raise a glass to you when you finish the "stinking PHD".
Mormon's I guess I don't consider to be any more of a cult than any other religion to be honest. To each their own. Just not my thing. And ANY religious organization that comes to my door is equally irritating from my point of view.
I will never forgive the mormons for enforcing 3% beer onto me during a brief stay in Utah a few years back. Apart from that I really enjoyed the culture shock of the place- twas like nowhere I had ever been before.
As for the scotch vs bourbon thing... In my opinion scotch is the red wine of the spirit world. Its good for you and the flavors are delightfully complex... provided you drink it properly. If you are mixing then it really doesn't matter if you drink scotch, bourbon or horse urine- it will all taste kinda the same.

It can't have been much worse than the 'beer' that they drink in the rest of the country. I assume you were climbing your way through Utah? What's it like?

Amazing actually. I just wrote an article about it for an Australian climbing magazine. Except for that fact that the hunters and the climbers inhabited a shared space... and I had no doubt that a 'mounted' Australian would sit just as proudly in the pool room as a big deer head...

Ha ha. I've read similar comments from climbers that travelled to utah. The bug has bitten me hard in the last six months or so. For a long time I was limping around on buggered ankles and just couldn't seem to develop any fitness, but its coming back slowly. Now I've developed this stupid obsession with a couple of boulder problems just down the road from my house.
