Excellent Taiwanese whisky. [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/121295/] [/URL]

Really, Tawain? When did they get licensed to make Whisky? I thought only Scotland, Japan and Canada had the right (appellation contrôlée) to make whiskey as opposed to whisk e y? EDIT: just googled a bit, my mistake, the whisky/whiskey designation is not the "appellation contrôlée", it's the "Scotch" Whisky designation.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Field Of Dreams Absinthe. Guy I know makes this on his wine farm as a side project. If there's a more effective liquid panty remover in existence, I've never (ahem) come across it.

Don't get too caught up on price right away; there is an abundance of great small-batch bourbons in the $25-50 range. I would recommend anything released by the Buffalo Trace and Four Roses distilleri

From the winery attached to the course. Convenient.

Scotch and Bourbon are controlled. And it's spelled Taiwan. :-)

Right. I had a brain fart and was thinking the whisky without an "e" was the distinction for "scotch". Still, when did Taiwan get that designation? I'd Google again, but I've had too much Scotch.

Not sure, but I'm assuming very recently. I did a quick search, and apparently this distillery is the first whisky distillery in Taiwan. I really want to get my hands on some though.

Interesting. The only "Scotch" I've ever encountered is from Scotland (duh), Japan and Canada. To my knowledge there is only one Canadian single malt Scotch. It's called Glen Breton and it was pretty disappointing when I tried it, although, to be fair, it was at least a decade ago and it was their first run of batches so they may have improved. The bottle I had was an 8 year old which, I believe at the time was their most aged offering. It was meh... I've had some fantastic Japanese Scotch.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I'm mostly a beer guy myself but recently have been relaxing with some scotch or whiskey.  Didn't really know the connection between whisky, whiskey, rye and bourbon before.  This video though gave me a bit of an intro and now I'm appreciating and enjoying them all more.  Odd how knowing more about a drink sometimes make you enjoy it more.  Check it out if you're new to this type of liquor.  You might have to copy and past the link into your browser.

Had a few gin and tonics, probably follow that up with too much wine.

It's a fine evening in Ohio. I went out on my porch to drink 2-3 beers.  Now, 11 beers later, I'm still going.

Holy crap...I couldn't drink that much liquid....

It's become very popular very quick. We sell a ton of it in our bar. Can't keep it in stock. It certainly does taste like Root Beer. But it's way too sickly sweet to drink more than 1. Also, it's rumored to be 480 calories per 12oz bottle!!

It is very sweet, that is for sure, I thought that if you mix with whip cream flavored vodka, it would taste like a root beer float.

We have a bartender here in our moonshine bar who serves them in a glass with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I personally like MGD, or Bud Lite Platinum. $15 for a 18/20 pack. However,  We have a little place just down the road that offers free Long Island Teas, and other adult beverages to video machine players. They even have a shuttle to haul us home  should we over indulge. :beer:

A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:
