Great stuff! It is in the category of pricier bourbons for me, a special treat. Maker's Mark is totally commercial but it is often the only premium bourbon a blues club will have and it goes down just fine. It is an oasis in the desert on the shelf above the house swill. (10 High!) The only bourbon I'm kinda snobby about is Jack Daniels because it has no flavor or character strait with a splash, which is how I like to drink it. I guess it is OK for dumping in cokes but that is not my groove. > > By the way, Ishta-devata means a chosen or favored deity, as in > "favoring the mantra" during meditation - when thoughts are dominating. > > Thus, interesting to note, unless you are a Ishta-mantrika AND a > Bourbonist this would not make sense. > > On a side note, unless I'm deluded, Vaj would not understand. >
