#1 Rode on Fred Noe's golf cart at the Charlotte NASCAR race a few years back. He remembered me from a whiskey tasting event in Pissburgh. Had some hospitality on the Jim Beam bus before the race.

#2 Wish I liked Bourbon. I'd rather support it than Scotland but there you have it.

The only one I've tried that is drinkable, for me, is Buffalo Trace and that's marginal.

My son makes up for it though which is why my bar cabinet has a big bottle of Jim Beam in it.

#3 My bourbon-drinking son swears by Evan Williams, which is pretty good and a lot cheaper than some others. Myself, I have developed a taste for Tullamore Dew, an Irish whiskey. Smooth!

#7 My favorite bourbon is rum - sorry. [Just don't like the taste of any alcohol that tastes like whiskey smells. :-( ]
