I’m generally a scotch drinker, when it comes to something stronger than beers.
But darned if Knob Creek isn’t getting to be a favorite. I’m comfortably not rich, but I promised myself somewhere along the way that there would be no more cheap likker in my life.
The per bottle cost is more, but the shelf-life is such that now that I’m not a complete swilling idiot, brings the annual outlay for such nonessential indulgences to a new record low.
And I take it water back.

Three fingers, rocks, for me, a few times a week. Still my favorite bourbon, even if I am pecking around at others. Try that Bulleits next time you buy — it’s not too much, and it’s an interesting diversion from KC.
Being unbroke myself, I have determined never to drink cheap likker either. The quality available for a few more pence is well worth it. I don’t drink the house brands when out at bars anymore, I have grown too accustomed to ordering call brands. That is the correct use of the term “call”, is it not? I get confused.
Thanks for the tip, Scott. I’ll see if the Virginia ABC stores rise to the challenge.
James, I wish I were young enough to go to bars. With the drink/drive laws the way they are now,along with not being as comfortable driving in the dark as I once was, I do 99.9% of my imbibing at home. But if I recall correctly, your usage of “call” is correct.

Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker-”well”: is the other bar term for the cheap stuff. I had some really nice Gaoliang the other day-A sorghum based white liquor. Kind os “Chinese Vodka.” This was one o the most palatable I’ve had. They make a lot of good spitits here, the problem is they tend not to age them due to demand. Hence, a lot of the local stuff has that “unaged” nasty bite.
