Dusting off my Bourbon Ping List. At least the Speaker had some good taste in bourbon - Maker’s Mark

[Blueflag]

I mean, is there such a thing as BAD Kentucky Bourbon?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Answer: The list ^did^ include Jim Beam.

[West Texas Chuck]

Ahhhh, not a big fan. Gimme that good old Tennessee sour mash.

[Mmogamer]

Oh add me to your list..

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Done

[Ann Archy]

Everything that Judicial Watch touches turns out to bite them....they are the most HAPLESS group ever....and I USED to give money to them!

[Mmogamer]

Thanks!

[Blueflag]

ooooooh. good point.

JB Goes in the radiator ;-)

My dad used to be a distiller for Seagrams ;-)

YEARS AGO.

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

[fhayek]

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.

[bcsco]

I’m down to the dregs of my current bottle. Time to refresh...

[bcsco]

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

"Why the Speaker should be drinking on our dime is another question."

And flying on a large jet at our expense as well.
