Do they still make Four Roses? My grandfather used to buy that one. I like Makers Mark but prefer Jack Daniels to Jim Beam. I don't think the sell out will affect the brands to much though. If it does, there are a lot of other choices--IMO.

If you give a Japanese a Johnny Walker blue and they will give you back a 10 folds lifetime gratitude and that's my experience to my friend Yato.

Give me Johnny Walker Blue and I'll do the same thing.

I don't drink whisky...I prefer Glenfiddich which is a single malt distilled in Scotland

Is that the one that costs $300 or so a bottle? I got some JW in my cabinet--but alas, its just the red.

$200.00 but it is smooth.

Yeah But!

A $200.00 hangover is so much nicer than a $20.00 hangover!

So THAT'S where the problem lies...
Cheap booze! :gaah:

That bottle might cost $300 way up there... Carrying them over the mountain passes on the backs of Caribou travelling in caravans isn't cheap!

 

[alpacaguy]

No Way..........

They're going to have a tough time saying it's Tennessee Whiskey if it's made in Japan. Even if they still make the stuff in the U.S., it's just not right...

 

[Bob Denman]

They'll still say it; only now, it'll have an accent...

 

[grumpybob]

Does anyone else get the impression that we Americans can't own & run a business anymore? More US $$ leaving home.

I like Suntory Akadama wine drank a lot of it when I was in Japan. Akadama and Absynth can make a forgettable night literally. :yikes:

It is closer to $300 here. We have some of the highest liquor taxes in the US. About 38% if memory serves me well. $30 to $50 for pretty much anything.
