Since moving to Tennessee, I’ve moved from being a Bourbon n00b to someone who loves to sip the delicious ones. There is a huge difference between common popular swill like Jim Beam and Jack Daniel’s to those in this list. And it’s not about price, but taste. And of course, we all have our own taste – heck, even JD does taste good once in a while, if for no other reason than nostalgia. And by the way, if you are a Christian who wonders about drinking, check out my post on this topic entitled 10 Biblical Points on Alchohol and Drinking.
