I have to say 1 vodka is not the same as another just as 1 tequilla is not the same as another tequilla and 1 bourbon is not the same as another bourbon. Now if you r drowning the bourbons w/ soda....then of course....that defeats the purpose of the make & its distinct flavors....but if you let the flavors savor on your tongue "alone" for a bit....and try another ....you can tdifferentiate big time. As for tequilla...I love tequilla....but not the cheap tequillas......(they taste like rubbing alcohol....which kills the true agave flavor)....an old man taught me how to drink tequilla while on a trip in Mexico and it holds true for all liquors...(except the chilling part) chill the tequilla....then serve it alone in a shot glass let the tequilla sit on your tongue for a second or two to experience the flavor ....then let it slowly run down your throat...No burn and super smooth. One thing i notice in alcohol ...is you get what you pay for (in regards to flavor and hangover) some of my favorite tequillas are cabo wabo reposado, patron reposado, and don eduardo anejo...as far as vodka and for the buck is tito's from austin...distilled six times which is truely the most important factor in vodka. O...and I love me some makers too As far as tequilla liqueor...try Agavero! Trust me...its awesome Used to only be able to get it in Mexico. I believe you can find it here now but its rare.

This reminded me of a bet I won from a coworker in Atlanta in 2009...LSU v. GA....We each bet dusty bottles in our bar....for me it was a dusty bottle of Southern Comfort....for him McCallan (!) cause he gave up Scotch for some stupid reason....so I won a bottle of McCallan and brought it back with me the next time I was in Atlanta....I posted this video as my message back that I was enjoying sweet victory...

Try finding out the name of that rum. Wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

If you like a great rum try , Ron Medellin rum. Made in columbia.
Thanks Corey!!!

southern151 02-05-2011 02:06 PM

You're welcome, Eman! And, it's actually called Ron de Medellin(pronounced mede-jean). The translation is Rum of Medellin. It's a fine Colombian rum! They also make some great beer down there that I haven't been able to find in the states. It's the type of beer that most of couldn't drink more than a 6 pack of!

eman 02-05-2011 04:56 PM

As in the medellin cartel no we know where they got their start?

southern151 02-05-2011 07:22 PM

That be the locale! Great place to vacation! Had an awesome time on my last visit!

Big Kahunaz 02-06-2011 09:12 AM

Since we're on the topic of beer....I'd to like to recommend something a beer that is not marketed in our area....but is available to us via internet. I fell in love with this beer on a trip to Alaska where we visited the original brewery in Juneau. Alaskan Amber ....and it can be found here:

http://www.alaskanbeer.com/home.html

The Smoked Porter was unique beer, it's a heavy beer with the smoked/bbq like flavors....not sure i could put a 6/12 pack down in one night ...but its more for the connoisseur beer drinker.... definitely worth trying.

I drank a lot of Crown Royal last night at a Mardi Gras ball.
Our table had a gallon, but the folks behind us didn't keep an eye on theirs.
So me an my padna hit thier bottle all night long. Then once they ran out, we hit ours.
