I think it refers to a "girly drink" like a pink lady, grass hopper with a umbrella and such. My husband drinks rum and coke a very manly drink and of course he loves his Jameson straight up. Me I prefer to only drink my Jose Cuervo straight up, oh wait I like my Baileys on ice and I have be known to have a snort of Jameson here and there. But in my defense my children are all grown and married, so my time is my own.

[QUOTE=Chris;32....So what exactly is Bourbon ?[/QUOTE]

No offense meant by "froo-froo", it's just how I think of them, usually too sweet, too many different liquids in them. Mind my daughters drink whiskey, bourbon that is , but they do like a 'Dirty Martini' and 'froo-froo' drinks too.
Bourbon is from the great state of Kentucky, doesn't have to be but most is. Like cheddar cheese, to be real cheddar it must come from cheddar. Bourbon must by US law be distilled in the US can't legally be sold here as Boubrbon otherwise. It also must be 59%-61% corn then any mix of three other grains. That is why you'll find rye bourbon and wheat bourbon etc. There is no wrong way to drink bourbon as there are around 256 flavors associated with straight bourbon whiskey. I said before there were a couple of bad bourbons but just as one or some of those 256 flavors will attract someone to a particular bourbon so will the flavor, body' pallet feel and the burn or lack thereof. 'Nuff said! Oh yeah! Bourbon must be aged at least three years' mostly four, in charred white oak barrels. This adds to the smokey caramel flavor many associate with this liqour. Now 'Nuff said!

'Forgot, white light'nen' the fresh clear distilled liqour is 160 proof, when it goes into the barrel it must be 125 proof, if I don't misremember me' then before bottlling it is cut to 80 - 95 proof, possibly higher but most is sold in that range.

Oh a wee lesson there in the making of Bourbon, thank you Whyermier, so it is America's substitute for the real thing Scotch !!! lmao Mind you the only really good Scotch is a single blend and left for at least 12 years mostly 25 years, some (the really expensive ones are matured for a lot longer ! I only know that because my father knew and loved his whisky and like you would never have adulterated it with anything, just drank it straight ! lol

I bet you would be good in a pub quiz ! Do you have those over there ?
