You're not naming a cowsh*t/chocolate/sugar dish a "Flanzpie." I will throw down.
Oh, it's already been done. I am heading to the Recipe thread right now! It's your punishment for using a sh*tty (puns, motherf*cker!) argument to try and prove your incorrect point.
God dammit this is so true. My dad was legitimately sad when I wouldn't be an altar server and my Nonna was one of those "if you sin, God will send you straight to hell!" old-school Italian women. My Irish and Italian families fought over my confirmation name, and I wanted to make it LeRoy (it's Thomas). Perhaps this is why I sprint away from organized religion now.
You would want your confirmation name to be a bastardized version of French for "The King".

It was actually something for my dad, who wanted my birth name to be Jackson LeRoy ______, but he lost that fight with my mom (shockingly).
I found out about the meaning later on, and that just added to the pain of being shot down. But seriously, you do not want to cross NYC-bred Irish/Italian grandmothers who take their faith seriously. I have great aunts that are Sisters/Nuns, a 2nd cousin who is a priest, and here I am making an "outright mockery" of one of the sacraments.

He is trying to say that you are saying Whiskey is better than specific whiskeys. I am thinking he would be alright with you saying "Rye Whiskey is better than Bourbon." or something similar. Right now, he is saying you are coming off as saying something to the effect of "NFL teams are better than the Jets."
So I have to say "Irish, American, Rye, etc., etc. whiskey club?"
"Whiskey" is its own entity, the same way "bourbon" is.
This isn't a situation where whiskey is the Coca-Cola while Bourbon is the Diet Coke and Scotch is the Coke Zero. These drinks use different processes and are quite different from one another.
I don't want to get into a huge back and forth with you, but Whiskey is an umbrella term used for many different types of fermented grain liquors. Bourbon is one of them. I am straight up asking, which of these liquors is your post referring to? All except Bourbon? Or other specific ones? There is no other reason for these posts but to find the answer to this question.

"I don't want to get into a huge back and forth with you, so let me continue the already too-long back and forth with you."
It was a f*cking joke post based on the "Scotch Club" and "Bourbon Club" threads that started earlier. I know it's hard for someone who has the humor of a 2x4 to just chuckle at something meant to receive chuckles, but lighten up.

This thread is becoming far more interesting though alcoholics are uniting and drinking in merriment and Jess hit me with some of that Triple Smoke once it was a tasty beverage thanks Jess!

I have the humor of a 2x4 because your unoriginal, redundant attempt at humor was unfunny?
Unoriginal? How many people made whiskey threads to poke fun at bourbon and scotch?
You are terrible, just stop, please. I don't feel like arguing something so stupid, but I will because I'm stuck at work for the next 7 hours and have nothing else to do.

Yeah, the mock thread has never been used to poke fun of another poster's thread

Oh, so no one for the rest of eternity can mock someone because it's unoriginal? No one can....invent a vehicle, because it's not original? I mean...people have already invented vehicles! No one can write music, because music's already been written! UNORIGINAL!
The way that you chose to mock other posters, was unoriginal and not funny. You can do it, though. Those other examples you brought up were incorrectly used.

You realize you could just remove "unoriginal" and it'd be entirely opinion based and I couldn't argue it? I could make fun of your complete lack of humor and how you take sh*t way too seriously, but I couldn't argue your opinion.
You're still wrong, but I'm done belaboring this point. Your very unoriginal criticisms have been logged, noted and ignored entirely. Please carry on.
I used to be a big drinker of whiskey... from about age 20 until 22 I would go through a few handles per week, but in recent years I've reverted to almost exclusively being a beer drinker, with whiskey and other liquors (mostly vodka, really) being saved for consumption on more special occasions.
That said, I was a Dewers man for some of those years, as well, so I'm a fan of the scotch as well.

Still Bourbon, Rye, Scotch, etc... all have a lot more in common with each other than they do with say gin. To me the big difference is what is in the brew/mash. Bourbon and most TN/KY liquors is made from corn, almost all other Whiskeys are made from grain in fact the only difference between beer and whiskey mash is typically there are no hops in the whiskey product. Then you get into whether or not a single or blended malt was used, and how much if any smoke was applied to the grain beforehand.
Corsair for instance makes an "American Whiskey" from three different malt batches each which is smoked with a different flavor. For all intents and purposes it is "Scotch", but where it is produced has a lot to do with the name as well.
. Not to mention, peat moss only grows in Scotland (and cape Breton N.S). That is where the "smokey" flavour of Scotch comes from, not from smoked malt or grains.
I'd also like to thank flanzo for hijacking and piggybacking my shiz yo!

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, boner!
Also, peat moss grows in Ireland, not that it matters.
People, am I truly the asshole here? Just because I asked for clarification on exactly what kind of Whiskeys we were referring to so a discussion could be had, and since I questioned the all-knowing and great Flanzo I Grey responded to with condescending and insulting jabs?

Thank goodness for international commerce . The three in the Triple smoke are Peat, Cherry, and Oak in equal measures.

aww shucks. Also, I stand corrected "Some Scotch whisky distilleries, such as those on Islay use peat fires to dry malted barley. This gives some whiskies a distinctive smoky flavour, often called "peatiness"." I was always under the impression it was exclusive to Scotland, but seems it grows in Ireland and others as well.
I have tried bourbon (and TN whiskey), scotch and rye (a lot of all of them) over the years. The one that appeals to me the most is rye because it has the most subtle flavor. Bourbon is too pungent and scotch too sweet/smokey. Once I decided that rye was my thing I went from American (pretty ghastly) to Canadian (pretty smooth) to Irish (the best in the world). My regular (pretty much daily) evening cocktail is Bushmill's and my expensive as hell treat is Midleton. Fawnmart turned me on to Midleton and coined the phrase "smooth as angel cake". If you get a chance to try it do so.
The comment in this thread that I find to be in dispute is that blended stuff is generally worse than single cask and that's the way to go. There are good and bad in both arenas. I think I'd like to try something like this next:
