I’m a relative nubie to drinking whiskey 🥃 say maybe 7-8 years ?
Started off drinking Crown Royal. Got drunk a few times on it and enjoyed it enough to drink Crown Royal Reserve.
Thought I was drinking the sheeeeetz all these years until the hottie I was dating bought be a bottle of Woodford Double Oaked Reserve , which said “bourbon” for hooking her up on her Benz lease. Tasted great and opened my mind to try new and different whiskey.
So I start learning Rye whiskey, Sour mash whiskey and Malt whiskey. Wow !
So I read up on them. I found out the good ole USA [emoji631] has stringent rules for labeling whiskey 🥃 based on content of its mix. 51% rye is minimum to be called whiskey, 51% sour mash for Bourbon 🥃.
Meanwhile in Canada [emoji1063] ? No rules. They can call a bourbon a whiskey if they like or a whiskey a bourbon without the contents being dominant % wise.
I know most of you guys knew this already ! But being Italian, and more of a Vino drinker most my life, it was an eye opener. I might have the facts off a bit, but it was a great Wikipedia read for me.
I’ve decided I prefer the USA [emoji631] whiskey and Rye over the bourbon(corn), and I’m not much for the Canadian stuff anymore ,,,, lol [emoji23]

I am available, on a limited basis, for tastings and hunting ventures. I'm almost 60, grumpy, opinionated, hard worker, but can bring bourbon, can tell great stories that really entertain me, and help clean the kitchen.
Steady, Dozier
