That's what I want

I love watching interviewees kick Jon Stewart's ass. And tonight he literally fell off his chair, Bonnie Hunt kicked him so hard.
And Jesus Christ $900 THOUSAND dollars in foil in the freezer? "African Art"? Why has this guy not been censured yet?

So does anybody know of a good alcohol tutor, on the web or otherwise? I stare at the bottles of silver, gold, black, and god knows what all else classifications of tequila, and Captain Morgan's alone has like seventeen different varieties of rum that aren't obvious, like 'citrus essence' or 'island flavor' or 'sour apple' or something.

I mostly want to know what these words mean, in the context. What's the difference between silver and gold? I can go to a liquor store and make a list of the terms I see, I suspect that would help.

AH =)

Well, in tequila, it's a matter of aging. Silver is the least aged (assuming I'm remembering my facts correctly). Gold(anejo) is aged longer in casks, giving it the gold color.. then the reposado, which is aged even more. I am personally more fond of an anejo or a reposado, while Merlin tends to like Silver more often. Silvers are less complex, but have less 'other' flavors to them (like wood, etc).

I'm less clued in on Rums, but I could probably find out. :D
