The Kintyre Forum

In the bar tonight, i ordered whisky and the barman goes to me what do you want Jack Daniels? I left the fact that Jack Daniels is Bourbon alone and then said the Johnny Walker is good and he said no that's Scotch. WHAT? What the frick did he think whisky is? Tosser. Humans are so stupid sometimes.

Bit of useless info for you:
"Jack Daniel's is a brand of Tennessee whiskey which is among the world's best-selling liquors and is known for its square bottles and black label. Jack Daniel's is consumed in shots, neat, on the rocks and as an ingredient in several cocktails. It has been prominently featured in movies, songs, and even novels, and is strongly linked to rock and roll, country music, American biker culture, and Slash. The brand is produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee by Jack Daniel Distillery, which has been owned by the Brown-Forman beverage company since 1956."

"Humans are so stupid sometimes."

Indeed it was useless, note the spelling. Or did that E just appear for a laugh? Also that isn't really the point but you were too busy trying to be smart to have noticed that. The final thing is that Wikipedia is...

Whisky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A glass of whiskyWhisky (Scottish Gaelic: uisge-beatha), or whiskey (Irish: uisce beatha or fuisce), refers to a broad category of alcoholic beverages that are distilled from fermented grain mash and aged in wooden casks (generally oak).

Different grains are used for different varieties, including: barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat, and maize (corn). Whisky derives from the Gaelic word for "water" (uisce or uisge), and is called in full uisge-beatha (in Scotland) or uisce beatha (Ireland), meaning "Water of Life". It is related to the Latin aqua vitae, also meaning "water of life".[1] It is always Scotch whisky (plural: whiskies), and Irish whiskey (whiskeys).

Point here, You there. Anyway you just edited that before you posted it anyway. Really does the whole thats not whisky thats Scotch thing not resonate at all with you??? Also Jack Daniels tastes like bourbon, smells like bourbon and makes me shit like bourbon so thats close enough for me.

Im well aware I just put anyway twice in one sentence. Thats ok Ive been drinking lots of bourbon.

I understood your point, horse. Its almost like asking for beer and getting Budweiser, or worse, Coors Light!

As an aside, bourbon whiskey must be 51% maize

Bourbon Whiskey (Such as Jim Beam)
Because of the fact that almost all Bourbon is made in Kentucky many people believe this is a requirement, but in fact Bourbon may be produced in any state. The only prerequisites are that it must be made in the US, contain at least 51 percent corn and that it must be stored for at least two years in new, charred oak barrels. Lastly, the raw spirit may not be distilled to more than 80 percent alcohol by volume.

Tennessee (such as Jack Daniels)
Tennessee whiskey is closely related to Bourbon but there are a few differences; Tennessee whiskey must be produced in the state of Tennessee and is always filtered through sugar-maple charcoal. The filtering process usually takes 10 days to complete. Tennessee whiskey was recognised as a separate style by US government officials in 1941.

There's none of them can compare to a good Islay like Laphroaig.

Horse, whoa, go easy on those soor plooms mixed with your whisky / whiskey. rainbowsprite is stating fact. However, the language barrier........

Nothing (other than putting water into his Scotch) riles Mr Govangirl more than this. He is the most placid human being on Earth (well, not when someone cuts him up on a roundabout) but when we're in the States he gets this all the time. He's an ale man and I cannot understand why it's a problem - he just needs to communicate his needs better. The problem now is that he gets it all the time HERE too and there should be no excuse - beer is beer.

Just my humble opinion, but I've always thought that Jack Daniels tastes like Jack has p**s*d in it.

That's what my husband always says Martin. My 15 yr-old son is always saying he's going to drink it when he gets older and I couldn't understand why until I read rainbowsprite's post about Slash's association with it.
Maybe Sean Connory could promote Jack Daniels instead of the Japanese stuff and advertise in Scotland?

Horse I appreciate your comments about Johnny Walker being Scotch. Only editing that was done was highlighting some words in bold, so that you could see them through your Scotch goggles.

Perhaps this should be in Favourite Quotations but I'm reminded of the following from Scent of a Woman:

Pacino: Tell him I want it, wall to wall with John Daniels.
O' Donnel: Uh, don't you mean, uh, Jack Daniels?
Pacino: He may be Jack to you, son. But when you've known him as long as I have .........

Anyway, pour me another Jock Walker Black Label

I know you didnt edit it really, I was only joking about that. As Bobbie says though, Bourbon is whiskey as well, but that e makes a difference, so I can't understand where that guy was coming from.

Govangirl, if your son only does things because Slash does, is your house full of snakes? Seems to be all right now, but old Saul really wasn't the best role model in his time. At least his pancreas didn't explode though. Silly Duff.

Maybe he didn't notice you dropped the e when you asked for whiskey

Poor guy.. I guess from now on you are going to have to ask for scotch.. Of course, then they might give you the japanese stuff.
