As a courtesy, I smiled and complimented someone on their 'shine rye at Thanksgiving. I have just received a pint of it as a gift.

I tell you what, it'll not only put hair on your chest, it'll strip the gunk off an old V-8 engine w/nothing more than a chamois.

I'm a drinker, and I drink straight whiskey, and I am serious: this is not a liquor you ever want to drink when you're still sober. Put a buzz on first, to numb your senses, cuz you do *not* want to accidentally taste it.
