Bourbon

[DarrelMorris]

I drink Maker's Mark most of the time but I also love Woodford Reserve. I just recently tried Knob Creek and it was pretty tasty...oh hell, I love them all.

Bob your last initial, R, doesn't stand for Russell does it?

Nope, not related, in fact, some of my friends would argue that the R stands for "Really Cheap!" I'm always looking for a deal, and the Russell's Reserve is a very good deal.

The couples who live on either side of us are joining us Friday for a two day soujourn along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Friday will be the Woodford Reserve distillery (if we can get in), overnight at the Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg, KY and then a Saturday trip to Buffalo Trace and the Blanton's distillery. Should convert even the faintest Bourbon fans among us.

My doctor told me to quit drinking, at least for a while. I especially have to quit drinking bourbon. Seems that it is aggravating my reflux problem and may even be its primary cause.

So, as I continue to gather birthdays, I keep having to cross things off of my "fun stuff to do" list. So far, I've said farewell to cigars, motorcycles, scuba diving and many of my favorite Southern foods. Now, it looks like I'll be saying goodbye to bourbon. I despair that some day soon The New England Journal of Medicine will publish an article linking guitar playing to finger-tip cancer or some other disease and that will be the end of my Martins, too.

My condolences AF...some fun stuff to have to give up = motorcycles, scuba, cigars, bourbon...keep on picking!

I just picked up a bottle of Larceny Bourbon. For the $20 that I paid for it, it's pretty good stuff.

Cure the reflux problem. I am sure there are medicines out there that can take care of it.

Thanks James. Yeah, when I posted the above I was having myself a little pity party. My doctor put me on Nexium and it has already helped greatly. Also, I have to lose some weight because that contributes to the problem. As disgusting as this sounds, it is excess weight around my mid section that tends to propel digestive acid upwards...rather than downwards...where the acid erodes the lining of my esophagus. Yuck.

Yes, Nexium is one of those things I was thinking of. To have a decent cocktail, you can lose a little weight. I have confidence in you.

I'll try to take up your slack on the bourbon.

Jim Beam [huh]

That sounds good. Two hours after I posted that I was going to stop drinking bourbon, some guy from Makers Mark's Marketing Division called and offered to refer me to another doctor...at the company's expense. But if you can take up my slack I’ll let them know. I'm sure that will mean some guys in Kentucky will be able to keep their jobs after all.

lol lol lol
Well, they might have to let some guys go anyway because Jim Beam is getting the increase in business---not Maker's Mark.

Never let it be said, that during the Great Recession, I did not do my part to aid in the recovery.

One drink at a time.

It's a hard job, but someone has to do it.

Just like the Blue Diamond Almond Growers commercial---a case a week is all we ask.

I scanned through this thread and didn't see a mention of Knob Creek Bourbon. It's my new favorite and incredibly smooth.

 

[Atticus Finch]

No...its not bourbon. And I'm not gonna say where it came from or how I got it...or even if I do have it. But I thought y'all like to see something old and nice.
