BT juice is the best. So many good bourbons are made with it.

-48 volts? That's all I can get out of British Telecom. g,d&rvvvf
The video opens up with, "If you get a chance to stop by the Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfurt, Kentucky..." So I'm assuming BT juice is any alcoholic beverage made by the Buffalo Trace distillery. This is them: www.buffalotrace.com I haven't ever had them, so not an endorsement, just fyi.
Ah, that could well be it. Here in England, BT expands to "British Telecom" for nearly everybody. Buffalo Trace do produce some superb bourbons (and somewhere I have an unopened bottle of "Sazerac" from them, though it appears that company actually owns them now). Elmer T. Lee is now £224/bottle!
Having just looked in the cupboard, there's an unopened bottle of Buffalo Trace looking back at me. I bought it last year but have been drinking beer instead. I think that cupboard needs a suitable Hazmat sign, considering its contents: various vodkas, the infamous Polish Spirit (200 proof), etc. ⚠️
Well! I typically drink no alcohol at all, and when I do, it's scotch whisky. But bourbons and whiskys aren't so far apart that I'd turn away a good one that showed up at my door. So give me a review when you open the bottle, would you?
I love the smoky Islays so I'll give this one a try if I ever get the chance, thank you!
This moose is not a fan of Islay whisky, I'm afraid. I once described Laphroaig tasting "as though it had been strained through a pair of leather trousers that had been dug out of a bog by Time Team". I stand by this description and prefer things like Glenfiddich. (Gran Reserva is glorious but £££.)
As a personal fan of Laphroaig, I have to say that you've described the flavour perfectly. Hearing you on Gran Reserva. Haven't ever had the pleasure, but it's not quite so expensive that I can't imagine ever giving it a try.
This moose read "Raw Spirit" by the late Iain Banks, and was offered a taste of the then "Havana Reserve" (Stupendous marketing cock-up) at Whisky Live in London. "I can't afford it" was my reply to the Glenfiddich rep; I tried it, thought "OMIGAWD!" and bought a bottle on the spot. Glorious stuff.
I grew up nearby. It's actually Frankfort, lol. Named for the fort that used to be there, rather than the German city.
GAH! Sorry, and thank you very much for the correction.
But you know, now that you've brought it up, it makes me want to drop a "Coyfort" into my fiction as a counterbalance to all the frank forts.
And now for every Kentuckian's favorite question: how is the capital of Kentucky pronounced- Lew-a-ville Lewi-vul, or Lewis-ville? A: Frankfort
I wonder why it's called "straight" 😄
