Bad news, my friends... I've gone into "The Dark Side" ... and I liked it!

​

Yeah... those are my feet!

 

And to think that two generations ago tequila in Mexico was considered a "bricklayer's drink":

Aged for an average of seven years, the finely crafted liquor is said to exhibit a “crystalline bright gold” color, and bear an aroma of “fruit, vanilla and oak tastes” in addition to flavors of “sweet honey, fruit, light agave." It's all topped off with a finish of “long lasting oak, agave and fruits,” according to Patrón's website.

As with some rons maybe 100 years ago, or cachaça in Brazil. Habit is a powerful component in foods/drinks acceptance.

 

So Tequila is for "Tequily" what Bourbon is for "Bourby"?

Yeah... but something changed in the manufacture of Tequila during the last 50 years... the drink used to be bottled directly from the distiller, and had a content of more than 70° alcohol... now the best tequila is aged in oak barrels that were previously used to age whiskey, and it has a 42° to 45° alcohol content...

The old stuff used to be coarse and harsh, and the new version is smooth and soothing...

 

I'd say that "moonshine" is now going through the same sort of transformation

Yebbut, it doesn't work as well on open wounds.

More tan 30 years ago, I tasted a "Hurricane" when at NOLA. Awuful, cheap drink coming from big drums and served in big glasses. Once was enough forever.

NOLA is a cheap awful, dirty, insect-infested over-hyped place.

The first person I ever met from NOLA was in Bozeman, Montana. He was a hotel clerk. I said, “you don’t talk like you are from around here. What would make someone come to this god-forsaken, desolate place?” He went off on me about how little Boseman has to offer but at least there were none of the many problems NOLA suffered from.

Would you guys mind elaborating about NOLA? ... I confess my complete ignorance.

And here I was thinking that it was some kind of scientific station in the artic...

 

I went there a few months ago on a business trip. Arrived at lunch and didn't have anything to do until the morning so I took a Stoll down bourbon st. My thought was "this is the famous bourbon st I've been hearing about all my life?" Absolutely disappointing. Dirty, cramped, full of rude people. I had couple beers and went to the hotel before dark, so as not to get stabbed, shot, or accosted by a vampire.

That depends on the nature of the wound.
