For our esteemed English friend. TaTa's is slang here for "****". Example: She has bodacious TaTa's. Translation: Very generous chest.....enough to make you look twice. If she gets a chest cold then she's sure to pass away!

What's the matter with Texas whisky then ?

My boss bought a fifth(here liquor comes in fifths or 750ml bottles, not liters)of Johnnie Walker Blue Label to celebrate new years at the office. Here it costs almost $200 per bottle. It was probably the best scotch I have ever had, butit is still blended.I prefer single malt although I can't really afford it.

Texas doesn'tproduce any whiskey that I know of. The American-made favorites are normally Tennessee Whiskey (Jack Daniels, George Dickel, etc..) or Bourbon (lots of varieties - must be made in Kentucky to be considered Bourbon - some of my favorites are Wild Turkey 101and Evan Williams is adecentfairly cheap bourbon.)

Single malt is my favorite too but the cost is prohibitive. Down here in TX Tequila seems to be the state drink. I enjoy Patron Tequila immensely but at $50 a bottle it's a little steep to enjoy on a regular basis. A decent single malt scotch is even more expensive.
Liquor is also available here in 1.75L bottles.

If anyone has ever had "real" moonshine - i.e. distilled in someones backyard or hidden in the woodsusing a still - you would agree it is the best liquor ever. Experienced shiners can make it tastesuper smooth (almost like water), yet it is nearly 200 proof.
Anybody from the South like myself has probably tried it a time or two. I bet RTexasF has tried his share of 'shine in his day!
