Greg Gilbert of Lovettsville, Va., built a basement bunker for his 700 bottles of bourbon. He also joined a private club so he could bypass retailers and buy barrels straight from distillers.

Will all of the preppers smell funny?

There is no such thing as a shortage for a given commodity. There is only a shortage for a commodity at a given price.

Sadly, for us bourbon drinkers, this means we will have to cough up a few extra bucks. I have to go out now and stock up on some Woodford Reserve.

Mama was a “beam and water” woman from way back. Every once in a while i get a hankering for Jim Beams creation. I’ve been meaning to try the “devils cut” variety.

Doesn’t true bourbon have to come from Bourbon Co. Ky?

Do away with the EPA. Do away with the Dept. of Education - which educates not one soul. Do away with an “ebola” czar. We need a Bourbon Czar!

Looking for advice: I inherited some prewar scotch from my dad.
A Haig & Haig Pinch and a ceramic jug of Red Hackle. Both are unopened. I know it doesn’t age after bottling, and I know these were not the premium scotches of the day. Would like to find a value. Would rather sell them to put a kid through school than drink.

Any ideas? Please be nice!

I have 8 distilleries within 30 minutes of my home.

Eat your hearts out.

OTOH, the money grubbers in Frankfort are no different than the money grubbers in every other state capitol. They think our bourbon is just another cash cow. Tax, Tax, Tax.

*** Domestic sales of Kentucky-made bourbon have increased 36% in the last five years to $1.5 billion***

About the time the ONE took power. Looks like lots of Americans just want to stay drunk till he is gone.

Life is too short to drink bad bourbon.
