This post is a public service announcement to all my frineds at MadJacks.

When your out shopping this week and looking to save a couple bucks, don't let it be on the whiskey.

We have a party at my house every Christmas week, usually the Friday before Christmas and it's not a loud, get drunk, college type bash, it's an adult party but we usually go through about a gallon of whiskey among other things.

While cruising through the spirits shop yesterday I saw I could save about $30 by buying a cheap brand of whisey instead of the usuall, which is either Jack Daniels or Makers Mark.

Guys, I am here to tell you I made a horrible mistake, all whiskey's are not the same. I broke into one of the half gallon bottles for a little taste this evening and while I am no aficianado, I know what tastes good and this crap ain't it.

It's called Canadian Gold, but it ought to be called Horse Shit. I'm usually a Jack over ice guy or maybe with water/Coke. I'm gonna use this stuff to clean the basement floor.

DON'T BUY CHEAP WHISKEY!

Sorry but no good tasting whiskey, bourbon, scotch or cognac should include the word "ice".......these necture's of the gods were meant to be sip straight up "NAKED"......

Class dismissed...........

I'm fondly remembering puking up an old favorite of mine when I was a broke student ... "Ancient Age"..... Let's just say my stomach was smarter than my brain. I stll cringe when I see it at a liquor store.

At the risk of starting a Tennessee/Kentucky fued, you have to choose between Jack or Makers!

I'm not sure if your questioning where I came up with the $30, but half gallon of Jack is $34.99 here and this stuff I bought was $19.99 so thats $15 a bottle and I bought two, so $30.

All in all it's just gonna cost me an EXTRA $40 this year because I ain't serving this stuff to guests.

You gotta wonder if all the super cheap bourbon that comes out of kentucky is from the same distillery, and they just slap different labels on it in different regions.

A second fond memory is of some cheap Mexican Whiskey I fooled around with for a few months.
