Bourbon on a College Budget

[vvvvvvv]

Let's turn this one around, a bit. My roommate is turning 21 in a week. As a gag gift, I want to get him the cheapest, worst liquor available. Something so horrible that he won't dare touch it. I want to guilt trip him into drinking it.

If he's got half decent taste buds.. MD 20/20 or Boones Farm...

Even though I don't mind the occasional straight shot of Everclear, I still find those two absolutely disgusting...

You could get him something intended to be mixed, like Martini & Rossi Dry Vermouth. Most college folks (at least, that I knew) don't know what actually makes a martini. Tell him it's a "Dry Martini".

Never had the displeasure, had to google that one....... that bad eh?

Oh yeah.....
It was like cheap Vodka mixed with fermented Vinegar...and spit...then strained through an old sweaty gym sock filled with cigarette butts and maggots.

ETA:
IIRC it was distilled from rice...apparently rotten rice.


On the upside, they also brought in several cases of VB.

A $6 bottle of Kentucky Deluxe...I`m pretty sure its made out of diesel fuel and paint thinner.

My thought's exactly. Though some people actually like Crown. Not me.

Me either.
I don't like *any* of the Canadian stuff. It's too "dry" tasting or something.
I dunno'.....

Seems like Woodford should be the obvious choice. I really enjoy Woodford for the price point you're talking about although according to some on this thread it could be dual purpose. You like it but maybe it would work for something foul for your buddy too. LOL!

You mean you haven't investigated the more floral and fragrant bourbons yet. No worries, bourbons really don't get THAT complex.

Maybe I should trade the shot glass in for a snifter.

I'd drop the Jameson for Black Bush or the Bushmills 10 year old single malt personally, the 16 year is also within your price range and dern tasty. With bourbon I stop at Jack and call it good, George Dickel is tasty as well (yes I realize they aren't true bourbons and I'm fine with that).

Mad dog 20/20, Boonesfarm, Wild Irish Rose, Malt Duck(if you can find it).

MD 20/20 .

I love wine. This garbage to the wine world is the only alcohol to make me meet the porcelain god late at night.
