Sunday Five - I'll drink to that!

A nice selection of bourbons, a few I had never heard of, several that I have not had the pleasure of trying (or the budget.) 

1: Given the choice, bourbon, rye, or malt (Scotch)?
2: Have you ever paid more than $100 for a bottle? 
3: Given the choice, vodka, gin or rum? 
4: Do you know anyone who no longer drinks? 
5: Given the chance, would you make your own? 

My answers: 
1: Given the choice, bourbon, rye, or malt (Scotch)? Good bourbon, no rubbish, with a good single malt being a close second.  Rye is not my thing, to spicy. 
2: Have you ever paid more than $100 for a bottle? Yes, a couple of times - good things in moderation. 
3: Given the choice, vodka, gin or rum? Gin, but only Hendrix. 
4: Do you know anyone who no longer drinks? My sweet husband, gave it up 30+ years ago, and remains happy and healthy. 
5: Given the chance, would you make your own? Yes, making distilled spirits is not legal without a commercial license in the USA. New Zealand has a law allowing home distilling.

    1. She doesn't drink, Ms Moorecock, she inhales! Or maybe mainlines? Of course, that just may be a unsubstantiated rumor.

  6. 1. None, yuck!
    2. No way! Think of all the bottle of Boone's Farm I could by with that!
    3. Rum. I like gin, but it doesn't like me back.
    4. A couple of people, me included. Drinking while taking meds = puke.
    5. Nope. My father would make wine from the grapes that grew on the vine in our yard. The whole process was long, stinky and gross!
