I don't drink alcohol anymore, but if I did Wild Turkey would be my choice.

That's one of my favorites that I somehow always forget to buy. The turkey 101 is at the top of my list

Wild Turkey sours made with egg whites is amazing!

This alone tells me we likely have much in common.

I'm no whiskey connoisseur, but I do like Evan Williams Green label. Despite the lower alcohol content, for me, it just tastes better than black label.

Hey Ruff - I believe Black label is 43% and Green is only 40%. You wouldn't think there would be a difference, but there is.

I only know because my dad drinks Green label, so we had a nip when he came to visit from Minnesota. I'm not a bourbon whiskey guy, but I kind of liked it. When it ran out, I went to get another fifth but they were sold out of Green label. Not knowing the difference, I grabbed Black label to try it out. I figured the extra 3% alcohol wouldn't make a difference, and I half expected it to be better since it was $1 more per bottle. Nope.

Now those are just my taste buds talking. You may find the opposite true. If you can find Green label, it's definitely worth trying out. I can get it in Tennessee and my dad can get it in Minnesota, but I can't get it here in Bowling Green, Kentucky - the state it is made in!!!!! Yes, that's what they told me at the liquor stores.

On a positive note... my "secret santa" now knows what to get me instead of pipe tobacco. Heh heh heh.
