it's Bourbon




I had never tried bourbon before.
It gets mentioned in songs and litterature
but i've never actually tasted it.

This month, a tiny bottle of Bourbon
made its way into the house for some
recipe or other.
(who can keep track? i just like to eat)

So above, you can see this cute bottle (sorry,
empty already after the chef used it for cooking).
I thought the name was cute "Knob Creek".
but i thought the description
"ucky straight bourbon" was a bit bizarre.
After all, don't these Knob people WANT
people to drink the bourbon?

well, i tried a drop of this bourbon (pretty,
dark colour)
& had to say i agreed
fully with the "ucky" description.
it's just not my cup of tea, so to speak.
but then i looked closer and saw
that there was more to the label
than just plain "ucky".
You can see in this second photo
that it's really not Ucky at all; it's Kentucky.
whoops.
I'm sure as bourbon goes, this
is marrvy stuff. Just not for me.
At the bottom, you can see the scale
of the bottle: so cute, it's as big as a shot glass.

Is that name as rude in Canada/America as it is in the UK?! I should send you some Dorset Knobs (biscuits) to go with the bourbon!
