Jacksonville one of America's Drunkest Cities

Ock,  You are bringing back horrible memories with that picture.  My father only had a drink or two on special occasions about twice a year.  But his favorite drink, when he did, was Southern Comfort and 7-Up which has to be the sweetest, most disgusting drink ever invented.  The hair stands up on my arms just at the thought!

No sweat my friend, have a sip of this one... REBEL YELL. SOCO isn't bad if you enjoy Bourbons straight up. Rebel Yell is a wheated whiskey, soft and WAY different from the other distillers.

Rebel Yell is a Kentucky straight bourbon, is a pale, straw color, and is 80 proof. It is a wheated bourbon, meaning that wheat and not rye is used as the grain. Wheated bourbons are supposed to be softer and smoother than others, and I think that is generally true. It's made per its original W.L. Weller recipe.

Neat: The nose is very soft, dry, and a little citrusy, suggesting that the taste is light. Mouthfeel is watery and thin. As for taste, Rebel Yell has a sugary sweetness that quickly dissapates into a licorice and herbal spice. Simple, subtle, and docile. The finish was oaky, dry, and left a calm, lingering burn on the roof of the mouth. It is mellow and unassertive.

Did you know you can "proof" your drink using A traditional method to tell the alcoholic strength of a whisky. When a bottle is shaken - bubbles or beads will form. The bigger they are and longer they last the greater the alcoholic strength is of the spirit. SOCO 80 proof will foam up, Rebel Yell Reserve 90.6 won't.

Bourbon Whiskey
Because of the fact that almost all Bourbon is made in Kentucky many people believe this is a requirement, but in fact Bourbon may be produced in any state. The only prerequisites are that it must be made in the US, contain at least 51 percent corn and that it must be stored for at least two years in new, charred oak barrels. Lastly, the raw spirit may not be distilled to more than 80 percent alcohol by volume.

Wheat Whiskey
Wheat whiskey must be made from at least 51 percent of wheat and is quite uncommon. To be called a Wheat whiskey, the spirit must be made from at least 51 percent Wheat, distilled at less than 80 percent and stored in new, charred oak barrels for at least two years. Wheat whiskey is slightly more powerful and bitter than Bourbon.

Any of you still with me here, you can get a beautiful little silver whiskey flask and genuine membership certificate just for joining THE BAND OF REBELS, on the Rebel Yell online site. It's completely free.

WHAT!...number 40? No way. at least in the high 20's..
Southern Comfort is about as sweet as Yukon Jack..Not meant to be abused as the sugar content rivals the alcohol content!!

Sugar is what gives your brain the hangover (if you suffer from that) Don't even think about Midori "Melon Balls" That was my worst ever hangover in my entire life and I still remember it 20 years later!

Our Neighborhood lately is Progressing with 2 (Count them) Two, Microbrewery's  Gotta Love My Street Now!
Cross Stockton St if you LOVE strong Beer and Ales (Iambics?)

"Lambics"   only real ones are from Belgium.  I don't think Iambic pentameter qualifies as an ale

Stephan,  One of them has to be the Wall Street, but what is the other? "Inquiring minds want to know!"  Don't want to walk into it by accident since my bar visiting days are mostly over and I don't want to waste an occasion.

He would have to be talking about either Birdies or Lowmax. Though to be fair, all of these places are only really like that during the day/early evening. And even then, the front outside area of Birdies never seems that way.
