That is a standard bar set-up. Why the Speaker should be drinking on our dime is another question.

Makers Mark is OK, maybe a little thin for my tastes. Give me WT 101 or Buffalo Trace anytime. Still, a person who likes Bourbon can’t be all bad.

I’m with you on the WT 101, but will substitute Woodford Reserve for the Buffalo Trace...
