Bourbon

[4THEGIRLS]

Had a taste Pappy 23 this weekend from a generous friend. Very smooth!

I've had some drinks with Phil. I tasted Sweet Lucy when he first made it, and my exact words were " if you could put that in a half pint plastic bottle we would eat it up".

101 in the turkey vest for a celebratory sip and 101 during turkey season to appease the turkey gods.

Rare breed to celebrate the slam.

Yes Sir!

I'm not exactly proud of this statement, but my consumption since '95 could probably be measured in gallons by the month in bourbon. I started on 101 in college and went through 4 label changes in college. They have had 3 more since then. Rare Breed, Russell's Reserve and Jimmy Russell's 10 year old is the best you can buy that my tongue has tasted. I have a signed unopened bottle from Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie Russell who was given to my by my buddy Billy Joe Hume who is the warehouse manager at Wild Turkey.

When I moved to Baltimore in '04 few bars carried good bourbon. I had to switch to Jim Beam. By the time I left town, my regular bars had much stronger bourbon selections.

If I can't find the Wild Turkey brands, I then go with Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Maker's Mark, Knobb Creek or Jim Beam. Probably the most expensive bourbon I have tasted is Pappy Van Winkle 23 year old ($30 a glass), but some of the rarest I had was on my tour of Wild Turkey. Billy Joe let us taste test some bourbon's that he thought was the finest bourbon's he knew of from barrels that were in special spots in the warehouse. He said "Son, you can't buy bourbon of this quality"

If you ever have the chance to visit the Bourbon Trail in KY, it is well worth the trip.

I drink and prefer Old Crow. However, a hunting buddy gave me a bottle of Wild Turkey Rare Bird for Christmas and it was out of this world good.

I have only had the Prichard's bourbon whiskey. I do like some rums, though. I might need to try their fine rum.

Yes Sir!

If you ever have the chance to visit the Bourbon Trail in KY, it is well worth the trip.

Making plans to do the Bourbon Trail next summer. Can't wait!!
