Like all the jolly good fellows I drink my whiskey clear.
lol. Mornings suck for liquor lovers.
I had 1792 and didn’t care for it. Woodford Reserve and Woodford double oaked are much better as is Jim Beam double oaked.
Weller
But why? :)
Ya can’t drink all day iffin’ ya don’t start in the mornin’!
Wild Turkey is pretty good! Seems like it has gotten better since college days.
One of my favorite quotes of all time was attributed to Frank Sinatra...
“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up, that’s as good as they’ll feel ALL day!”
Many years ago, on one of my first business class flights.. I was told this story, from an 80+ year old man that I believed.... he said:
Brown-Forman was doing an inventory assessment, and they found a large “set aside” of barrels of Old Forester that were “off-spec”, for one reason or another... They tasted them, and thought they were exceptional. They held it for a few years, while they tried to copy the production formula.
After 4 years, they released it as ‘Woodford Reserve’.. and then, they worked overtime to copy the formula. They did... but, bottom line... Woodford was a MISTAKE, that turned out good.
I don’t know if this is true... for sure. But, I believe what the old guy told me.
Then again.. maybe, I should STAY retired. I don’t see well enough to see my mistakes.... lol
Give me a copy editor, and I could make millions for these bourbon producers.
