Tasted neither of those, but one intriguing blend from that stable is Jim Beam Black, which tastes really sleazy. It's the whisky equivalent of Ms Aquilera's wrestling video and gets you utterly blasted and wanting to own a pickup truck (which is quite an uncommon desire in Glasgow) and start referencing Stazi bars in Berlin. Really nice in a really nasty way or vice versa- It should be called Jim Beam's "Iggy".
I think yours might be the coolest post I have ever read, but I am not sure because I am not sure I understand most of it.
<Ms Aquilera's wrestling video>
You mean "Ms. Aguilera's," right?, as in Christina. Great reference.
Stazi is a reference to the former East German secret police, and I guess I do not get the whole Stazi bar thing, except I know that some have opened in Berlin, where they issue you an identity card and act all psuedo itimidating. And "Iggy" is a reference to "Iggy Pop"? Another great reference, if I understand the drift.
Part of what is cool about your post, is that Jim Beam Black is suppoed to me one of the higher end Jim Beams, and thus all sophisticated compared to regular JB while label. That is, closer to the world-wide reputation of Scotch that its less sophisticated relatives in the JB line. JB would go nuts reading this. It was not what JB was after!
I was in Glasgow not so long ago. Very hip town club-wise it seemed like. Great music. You mean American country has not caught on there as a hip/ironic "stance"?!
