BACK TO MAKER'S MARK
Blackfive advises that criminal liquor fiend Jack Daniels is watering down Old No. 7 from 86 proof down to 80 proof. Bastards! If this wussy-assed trend continues we're liable to see Wild Turkey 98 proof, or Captain Morgan 12 proof ere long.
Posted by Velociman at October 2, 2004 3:52 PMThey have watered down Wild Turkey. They make an 80 Proof now. I almost made that crucial error one day. I was shopping for price. I didn't even dream Wild Turkey was anything other than 101. I guess things are tough all over. Just Damn!
Posted by: Dax Montana at October 2, 2004 4:08 PMYes, Dax, I'm aware of the 80 proof Turkey, but that is actually just Wild Turkey With Training Wheels for the 12 to 17 year old crowd.

Posted by: BryanH at October 2, 2004 6:47 PMI used to drink Wild Turkey until I learned that its parent company is French. Maker's Mark for me, or the single barrel stuff like Blanton's. Hell, I also like Jim Beam, an old standby.
