Pughie, old chappie, your words, "rough corn whisky you have in Kentucky" show your lack of awareness of such whiskey delights as Old Pogue Reserve, or Woodford Reserve, or the many boutique bourbons now available...smoother than anything your old willie has ever encountered...anywhere.

Having become an imbiber of Scotch whisky rather than bourbon c.the mid-'50s, I'm more than a tad familiar "with...Laphroaig and Lagavulin..." and their ilk; the Islays have much more appeal to me, however.

May the new year awaken in you new awareness of God's world and his wonders.

Oh you naughty man - I think perhaps you are playing a game with me here!!!!!

Willie & I know very little about bourbon but interestingly it seems that bourbon in the UK is now being marketed as a base to make sophisticated cocktails. I should love to try some of the good stuff and we will research the two you recommend.

You'll more than likely find the Woodford, but don't waste time looking for the Pogue, as it's only narrowly available here, and not exported.
Old Pogue Bourbon Old Pogue Whiskey has a history dating back to the years following the Civil War. In 1869, the original Pogue distillery, Kentucky registered distillery No. 3, was established in Maysville, Mason County, Kentucky, very near a site often said to be the location of Kentucky's first distillery. Prior to Kentucky's statehood in 1792, Maysville was part of old Bourbon County, Virginia, where pioneer distillers discovered that the Indian corn and limestone water of the region made a product of mellow character and distinguished flavor. Pogue carried this tradition forward, and for over half a century maintained a reputation as producers of the finest Kentucky bourbon whiskey. Pogue ceased production due to Prohibition. Now, the fourth and fifth generations of Pogues return to offer the discriminating whiskey drinker a 91 proof (45.5% alc./vol.) small batch bourbon of superior quality crafted using the original Pogue recipe under a time-honored and fixed formula, never changed.
