Its a sad day when something thats so American like Jim Beam sells its soul to make a buck

Jim Beam used to be my favorite bourbon.
now it will leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Jim Beam is my favorite "for the money" whisky, and Makers Mark is my favorite "mid shelf".  I won't stop drinking either because of this buyout, as long as everything stays the same recipe and price.  I'm not so elitist in my ways, I would rather just drink what I enjoy drinking. Sounds like the distillery got a killer offer btw.

I was bummed to hear about knob creek

Actually Bourbon is a Whiskey, not a Whisky.  Sorry, it's one of the few things I remember from "Three Sheets"

Yep, and not all whiskey are Bourbon.  Thought I was one of the few who miss watching Zane's exploits.

I bought most of the episodes from the 4 seasons on iTunes.  I watch them when I have free time at work, and always end up laughing.  Good to hear Zane, Steve McKenna and Pleepleus are still kickin it.  The shows were actually really informative regarding the different types of liquors and their backgrounds.
