Try Rebel Yell, It might just surprise you.

Great nations rise and fall.

Not to be contrary, but I do not like bourbon. In fact, I have discovered that I literally cannot drink any distilled spirits - rum, whiskey, vodka, etc. - can't stand the taste of the alcohol. I actually have a severe physical response to the distilled stuff.

That said, however, I do like the flavor of bourbon, which I discovered on one of our many treks along the Bourbon Trail here in the Bluegrass region of KY. in the tasting rooms, I simply swipe the bourbon across my tongue with my finger, and get the flavors that way. I'm also the designated driver, so there's that too . . . .

For my birthday just past, my darling bride (of almost 6 years now) made me a death-by-chocolate-and-bourbon bundt cake, with a non-cooked chocolate fudge-and-bourbon icing. Cooking the cake expelled the alcohol, left the flavor. And since the icing was non-cooked, a week later as we ate the last piece of cake, the bourbon was still potent. The fudge dulled the alcohol, and it was exquisite!

I never liked the burn I always got from straight booze, but have always liked mixed drinks. When I was stationed in Germany and wasn't drinking beer I had some Jack and Coke one day. Then I saw that Jim Beam was only half the price of Jack Daniel's and started drinking Jim Beam and Coke instead. Several years later I found out how good Jim Beam was with Vernor's ginger ale. But I think my favorite mix with Jim Beam was Dr. Pepper. Whatever booze I had and whatever I mixed it with I liked it strong but I had to give it up.

If you like chocolate and liquor you should try Asbach brandy filled dark chocolates. Asbach is like cognac except it's German. Asbach has the distinction of being only distillery in the world with its own chocolate factory. The squares and bottles have a sugar crust inside and the beans don't. The brandy cherries don't have a sugar crust either. I started eating the squares when I was in Germany and have tried the other kinds more recently. I got most of mine from mostlychocolate.com. The owner has just merged with his sister's company, europendeli.com. They're one of the places that sells many different types of liquor filled chocolates. Asbach is good with Coke too. I like it mixed about half and half.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled program.  ;)

Yep, all true, and THAT's always a problem. Occasionally I get into mixing it with something and before you know it you're guzzling down 70/30 or better mixes like it's sweet tea. Sipping is required.

To go off thread just a little... Have any of you ever seen in person Kalashnikov Vodka? I know it is available in Europe but have never seen it here. I would LOVE to get one of those bottles.

5 years ago one website said, 'With only 13,000 bottles of this vodka ever produced, Kalashnikov Vodka is definitely a collector's item. Unfortunately for us, the bottle is only produced in Russia with outside shipments to Australia only. One can only dream of owning such a bottle. Or move to Australia." It was sold in the U.K. until the name and packaging were deemed inappropriate. You may be able to find some Red Army Vodka in a bullet-shaped bottle. Other companies have also made Makarov Pistol Vodka, Tommy Gun Vodka, Tommy Gun Scotch, and others. Kukri Rum from Nepal sounds interesting.
