    We had a pet turkey when I was a kid. It was definitely a domestic turkey, it was white like a chicken or duck. The original plan was to have him for Thanksgiving dinner, but that didn't happen and he was our incredibly annoying and stupid pet for several years. He was super horny but had no idea what a female turkey looked like, so whenever someone came to our house, he would put on a display for them in case they were female turkeys. He was forever doomed to disappointment.

    Fun fact - when the US government was classifying whiskeys, Jack Daniels was classified as a bourbon because it meets every other requirement for bourbon (at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels). Jack Daniel's protested and a new category for Tennessee Whiskey was created to include filtered through sugar maple charcoal.
    JD protected their classification so much that until recently there were only 2 brands of Tennessee whiskey (George Dickel being the other) until some smaller distillers won the legal right to be called Tennessee whiskey.

    Well, I used to have a one legged, one winged, one eye'd turkey that I called Bob. He lived a happy life in the back garden until he passed away. Just couldn;t bring myself to eat Bob. So, back in the day, I drank plenty of Bourbon to mourn his passing while we cremated him. Hadn't intended to cremate him but after half a bottle of Japanese Bourbon it seemed like a good idea.
    Never liked the shed.
    The one that burned down after the cremation pile got out of control, after another third of a bottle of Japanese Bourbon.
    Never liked that fence either.
    There's a reason I don't drink any more.

    Interestingly, there are nine varieties of turkey, only about three of them being commercial/related to commercial turkeys. All the other varieties are "heritage" turkeys, which are commonly used as pets. I owned a small flock of royal palm turkeys, the smallest heritage variety, with a couple of jennies and a tom. Long story short, I'm a turkey fanatic and showed them in the county fair as a child in 4H when I lived in Idaho.

    As a Pittsburgh kid, I grew up learning about the Whiskey Rebellion in the early part of the country. Now you have challenged me to go back and research it wrt the kind of whiskey ( I always thought it was corn whiskey, if not 51% ) and the time period. You are such an inspiration to the true scholar.

    Glad to see someone reviewing bourbons and not using to leather, tobacco, or marzipan (what even is that???) to describe the taste.
    I generally agree with your rankings, except for Wild Turkey. The 101 is highly underrated, as long as you don't have more than a couple. You go past 2 (MAYBE 3) and that stuff will have you regretting your life's choices in a heartbeat.
    If you pull out a bottle of Makers or Bulleit around even the biggest bourbon snobs and they'll be at least okay. You can't do that with Beam or Jack. My biggest knock on Bulleit is that you can't type it in without autocorrect screwing up the spelling.
