A new worse "whiskey" / liqueur experience

[funknik]

i prefer its cousin, i think it's called Barenjaeger (perhaps more related to other honey spirits like mead, krupnik, american honey).

I've seen this stuff at the liquor store in a thatch-covered bottle and been intrigued by it, but it deemed it too pricey to take a chance on -- especially when I'd rather save my $ for more bourbon.:grin:

If you like Wild Turkey Honey liqueur, you may like it. I have friends who like WT Honey, so I bought them a bottle of Barenjager. It's very sweet and syrupy.

The realy sad part is the stuff (I've never had it myself) is sold everyhwere. I recon if I scanned the back bar of most joints around here I'd find it.

Which begs the question; do people really like bad tasting liquor or do they just not know any better. Money, while a factor, can not entirely explain this 'phenomena'.

:slappin: Well, I can see that I'm in the minority here, but I LOVE Yukon Jack!!! :cool:

What's worse, I sometimes mix it ... usually 50/50 with gin (neat or over ice), but I've been known to mix one part Yukon Jack with two parts bourbon. I've mixed it with rum as well. Diff'rent strokes. :grin:

It's less expensive then either Jaegermeister or Southern Comfort, not to mention that the taste is far superior and it packs a far more powerful punch. Having tried Yukon Jack, I can't imagine why anybody'd waste their $$$ on either Jaegermeister (which I don't even like the taste of) or Southern Comfort.

True, true...taste is individual....I would prefer Southern Comfort over the other choices.
