We have lost a valuable member in John Lipman's departure, and I really regret that. I think it was premature of him to do so.
Let me remind you, this is a Bourbon Enthusiast site. I have only one opinion, but I work at giving you my best and considered opinions here. They make be wrong in the eyes of other experienced bourbon drinkers.
This is NOT to say that the inexperienced bourbon drinkers should not offer their opinions. This is the very site where I learned about bourbon, and modified my opinions, for better or worse. Changing your opinion should be considered a given here. I, for one, am suspect of your sincerity if you hold a consistent opinion........ you are not growing by trying the same ole same ole.
BourbonEnthusiast is not a site for you to look only for confirmation of your taste in bourbon. It never has been, and if it becomes one, I will also leave it. Bourbon is a dangerous substance, without doubt. But living is dangerous.
I have long believed that BourbonEnthusiast is where you can learn why Bourbon is more that dangerous.
