Geez, I forgot all about Boone's farm. We drank BF in high school (mid 70's). Great memories...hanging out with friends drinking Boone's Farm and sneaking into the house and going straight to my room.

Crazy flavors in lots of products these days; liquor, beer, chips, cheese.
Like most of y'all, I'm a traditionalist.

All kinds of flavored water too. When I was kid, it was called Kool-Aid.
I prefer aged alcohol with nuances developed naturally through aging. Occasionally I would prefer younger alcohol with natural flavors from fermentation. I never felt lack of choice.
I respect completely those who prefer flavored drinks, and (while I cannot remember from my own recent drinking history), I must have enjoyed them in the past.
So, given the fact there is a lot of choice for every alcohol connoisseur I would have to conclude that it’s a blessing.

That's me...occasional whiskey drinker. This thread got me thinking about that caramel turtle whiskey I mentioned earlier. I picked up a bottle of this today.

Where do I turn in my man card?
The line forms behind me.
My daughter requested this cake flavored vodka for a cocktail she was wanting to try. My favorite liquor store was the only place that stocked it. The manager checked me out with only a slight grin on his face. I couldn’t even look him in the eye.
Are Aromatic Vodkas for the more experienced sippers? — or does that only work with tobacco?

I quit drinking about 3 months ago. I've noticed a drastic difference in the quality of my smokes. Now I drank way too much when I did drink, so copious amounts of whiskey tend to drown out the flavor of anything else. But now I'm only drinking water, tea and coffee and can taste my tobaccos ten fold. It's been a blessing that really took my appreciation for this hobby to the next level.
