A Quality Rye Whiskey like Crown Royal vs. Foul Tasting Jim Beam sorta "Whiskey"

I actually like both, while I was in the Marines I drank a lot of Jim Beam so going back to it when I stay at Temptations is no problem. I drink mostly crown now because the wife prefers crown over Beam.

 

Would you like to know the vessel GOGO is talking about?:

 

Sure, what's her name? I already assumed she was cute.

 

So it looks like Canadians just call their domestic whiskeys "rye" without even caring what they're made of? Or is it really made with mostly rye? I can't find any info on the grains used in Crown, but it sure doesn't have the spice I think of as a rye whiskey. Try some Whistle Pig (100% rye) or Templeton (90% rye). Good stuff.

 

The only way to find out is be there when we are and ask GOGO. I know my place. x

 

I should hope so! (i know this looks like I'm talking to myself, FYI GoGo and Blanco although marrieds are currently 200 miles apart - and he's winding me up as per usual!)

:daisy:

 

I do prefer Crown as well, but when in Rome right? In the states I've learned to ask for whiskey and coke...in Cancun I ask for whichever label I see. Given the choice though I will take anything Canadian over Jim any day.

dave were from tennessee,we make whiskey from corn around here.hard to beat woodford reserve on the rocks

 

Maker's Mark... bourbon whiskey but good, solid & smooth oak flavor

 

I had heard that they made some whiskey in Tennessee too. But I figured it couldn't be any good if the guys who made it banned drinking it. Lynchburg would probably vote against being a dry county if they had Crown.
