Tim et al
My opinion (also sans hard evidence) is that I can distinguish grain
from potato (with brand as a confound), and (in agreement) I can distinguish
Grey Goose from most others, but after that I have no confidence I can
distinguish. I have vague memories of doing a Scotch taste test study in a
local bar, and if memory serves the person keeping track of what was in each
glass lost track half way through. I think we were in a perception at the,
and had grand visions of figuring jnds and the like ......
P.s. there is an apple vodka that I tried from a local distiller (is that
what they are called?) with hints of apples, but the flavor may have been
added later, the way Russians let fruits sit in vodka.

Michael- Ahhh, Guiness Stout and smoked salmon!! :) (The Blonde in the Black
Dress?)
Vodka- orderless and tasteless? The same heathens probably say all Scotch
tastes alike! Now for my challenge. I'm going to have to set up a test to
A/B and try and actually show I can taste the difference, no? Sounds a lot
like research to me! (Somehow I don't think I can get the department to fund
that one even if I am the chairperson!).
Sans evidence my choices:
Bourbon: Van Winkles Special Reserve 12 or 15 year old (yep- they taste
different!). This is also my wife's favorite and she doesn't really like
whisky! Do be careful as it is hard to find (and their labels are tricky!)
Woodforde is pretty darned close as are the Pappy Van Winkles.
Scotch: choic is for me! Highland Park 10 Year. the Macallan 12 year.
Balvenie Double Wood or Port Barrels both 12 year olds. (Is there something
strangely perverse about Scotch drinkers emphasis on 12 year olds?) :)
Vodka: Grey Goose (honestly, straight- if you are mixing- who can tell?)
Chopin. By the third, I'm convinced you can't tell!
Beer: Anchor Steam or Guiness (and with salmon there's no choice). Several
of Sam Adam's though that makes me trendy?
I need a winning lottery ticket or my drinking days are ceasing at 65!
BTW- Tonight- NOTHING!!! I've got to read for my intro to neuropsychology
class. We got kicked out of our classroom tomorrow and I have to teach
without, gulp, a smartboard! I'm genuinely nervous! Take care all!
