Flash blanch that mudbug in boiling water first please to give it a bright orange/red color and reduce the chance of raw rotting freshwater seafood ruining a perfectly good bottle of Jack.
If anybody ever finds the recipe secrets to Crown Royal, please pass it on. It's my favorite, for sure. =) Those Canadians got something right it seems.
Hmmm.. I've tried CR Deluxe and Black, B (prefer the Black over Deluxe)... Have you tried the Reserve? Review?
Can't do any of the Canadian...or Scotch (aka fancy paint stripper). Where's my Bushmills? I'd even sip me some Jameson's if I had to Yeah there's at least one Irish among you...at least in alcoholic spirit! Byte
Not much interested in the JD...but it sure makes me wonder what it would take to get a barrel or 2 of a nice single-malt...
There are US Makes that have single malts. I can only afford to buy by the bottel so I've never checked on the Barrel Price. Since a bottle last me 6 months to a year I'd be dead before the Barrel was empty or at least well preserved and put away happy.

The Reserve is pretty much the same as standard CR, but a tad smoother. I keep a bottle of Reserve on the shelf. For the extra $5, I find it's a nice alternative. I really enjoy the Black, but can't always find it.
