My latest experiment.
I love gin but also love bourbon.
I'm making a juniper, anise, lemongrass, grapefruit peel infused Bourbon.
Will it be Herbon or Burgin?

Re: Bourbon and Botanicals
As a Scotch lover, I feel compelled to correct this misinformation - it should be BANDAGES, not Bandaids (TM), and preferably bandages that have been used at least once. Originally Posted by pepcycle

No, I meant Band Aids. Chorophenolic.
Nothing smells like a genuine, trademarked, original, flesh colored, Band-Aid. (Except bad beer and good scotch)Colonel Ed

Ahh haaa! missed it by that much !....! Originally Posted by pepcycle

Doesn't matter. As Stuart Rankin would say, if it's not Scottish, it's crap. Originally Posted by pepcycle
