“Boilermaker please...make that two”

“coming up......cherry and diet, and two jack and bud boilers.....”

“WK can't handle his boilermakers. Pass em to me instead!”

“two more for the coyote.....jack and bud ok?”

“and three yager bombs for myself”

“jack and bud is just fine. Hey, you look good tonight. I lvoe you man!”

“Bar open for business!!!

Anyone mind that I drink while I serve?

Hurricane special today
32oz for $5.00”

“Hows 'bout a cool and refreshing Mojito over here...please:)”

“double Rare Breed neat.

We're startin a little early today huh? That's ok by me.”

“I haven't slept good the last few nights. I am thinking a little alcoholic sedative may be in order tonight!”

“Mojito up

having a hard time finding that here MG...Gimme another choice”

“*SIGH* I guess I'll settle for knob creek then...
If you don't have that then I suppose a Makers will do in a pinch.”

“I gots the knob.

I don't like what SC is saying about me not being able to drink a boiler maker. That is just crap!

I can't pour it down my throat like Ruby can. I enjoy it by sipping on it.”

“I didn't know it was possible to sip a boilermaker. Isn't the whole purpose of one to see how fast you can knock one back?

To each his own though. If you wanna sip your boilermaker then who am I to say different? It's your drink, and your drunk. You can get there any way you choose.”

“I don't necessarly sip it, but I cannot down like Ruby can. It is a pretty scary sight. She literally opens her mouth and pours the beverage down.

“had me an irish car bomb a couple weeks ago. Quite tasty. That flaming dr. pepper kinda sounds fun. Set me up with one of those will ya?”

“Irish car bombs are nausiating! YUCK!

Flaming mo up”

“cool! fire!

Down the hatch...”

“i haven't had a drink in over a week, i'm not sleeping, my nose is stuffy and i have a headache, anyone got a cure for that?”

“benedryl and aleve”

“Pam, you have what I have LOL Take some pills and go to bed.”

“and ive got it too.....but im medicating with elijah craig and 7up”

“Good man! Break out the bourbon! WOOHOO!

Ah, nothing quite like good bourbon.”

“except my greatgrandpappys shine.....i miss him....”

“oh now see corn liquor is something entirely different. It's sweet, and hot, and isn't aged in chared oak to mellow it or add different flavors.
Shine can be aged in jars with fruit to give it flavor though.”

“lol...well, it depends on whos it is....the best of my grandpappys stuff was actually aged in oak barrels...i dont know what u call it then....granted my favorite was the muscadine shine”

“if it was actually barrel aged then it was technically whiskey. If it was new charred white oak barrels, then it was bourbon.

Muskadine shine? Really? Cool! Did he age the shine with the muskadine grapes?”

“hmm....truth be told i dont know....i wish he was still alive to ask...i do have part of the still though.....ive got the worm, just part of something from him.....
as for the barrels....i know he reused them later on..he quit running shine around 1980 or so, i was born a few years later and he ran a special run for me....ive got bout half of a case left and im saving it...i drank way to much in HS”

“i remember the barrels though....i tried my damnedest to get one at the auction...they went for as much as 500 dollars”

“I would be inclined to believe that. It's part of what makes bourbon so expensive to make. The barrels can only be used once for true bourbon, then they are sold off to other distillers for making things like canadian whiskey, and irish whisky, tennessee whiskey, and god forbid american blended whiskey (aka rot gut) and scotch.”

“i wanted one just for the aroma.....i was planning on using two of them to build a desk but....oh well”

“That would have been very cool. Put your desk in a small office and WOW can you immagine the smell?! You could get lit just sitting in there and breathing deeply! LOL!”

“Well, by all means then...
Damn the politics, and hoist yer flaggon! We seem to be on the same page with many topics.

Now back to the booze: My real favorite is Rare breed neat but frozen. Keep the bottle at around 0* F and just sip it. It ain't cheap, and it ain't for the faint hearted, but if you have a taste for good whiskey, this is unarguably GOOOOOOOD stuff. It's bottled by wild turkey. It is small batch, and goes straight from the barrel to the bottle, somewhere between 106 and 118 proof. Each lot is slightly unique that way.”

“i love rare breed, i buy a bottle each year....have u ever tried russels reserve?”

“Damn the politics indeed! YOL BOLSON! May there be a trail!”

“Russels reserve eh? can't say that I have. Is it a regional thing?”

“from what i understand its bottled by WT as well, just from some of the oldest stock.....”

“YOL BOLSON-i got this saying from a louis lamour book.....The Walking Drum.....its mongolian i think, means may there be a road or path or something like that”

“REEEEAAAAAAAAALLLLLYY?
Now you have got my attention enough to google it. Back in a minute...”

“k...granted this is all word of mouth....so....lol, take it with a grain of salt and lime”

“well, i was wrong, so much for word of mouth
lol”

“June 16, 2005 - Pernod Ricard USA announces the release of the new Russell's Reserve, a 10-year-old, small batch bourbon created by Master Distiller Jimmy Russell. It was crafted with the help of his son Eddie Russell, a specialist in barrel science and maturation. Both men are long time veterans of the Austin Nichols Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.

Russell's Reserve was created as the perfect 10-year-old bourbon. "Both Eddie and I believe 10 years is a wonderful stage of maturity for a bourbon,"? comments Jimmy. "At this age,"? adds Eddie, "it has a crispness and complexity of flavor, yet is memorably smooth." Released in a distinctive 750 ml bottle, it will be available nationally in September.

A living legend in the crafting of whiskey, Jimmy's legendary distilling knowledge and skill were essential in the creation of Russell's Reserve. With help from Eddie, Jimmy was able to achieve a small batch bourbon that is rich in taste and tradition, yet perfectly mixable. Russell's Reserve extends the tradition of excellence represented by the Austin Nichols Distillery and the Russell family name.

Russell's Reserve has smooth caramel and vanilla flavors balanced with mellow, warm notes of white pepper and orange peel. Rich in toffee and subtle spice notes, this full-bodied bourbon is a beautiful deep amber color with the long-lasting flavor of a truly remarkable bourbon.

Russell's Reserve will be available September 2005 for $28.



Sounds tasty. A fair price too. I'll have to check this one out soon. Thanks Bryan.”

“Austin Nichols distillery is the home of Wild Turkey, it's just not as old as Rare Breed.”

“LOL! I was wondering WTH Yol Bolson meant.”

“ok, i dont feel so bad...lol...it is good though.....i gave my mom some disorrono a while ago.....she loves it over ice and she isnt a drinker..lol i remember calling home from iraq one time and only being able to talk to my stepdad..seems she had drunk a glass of Wild Irish Rose, and couldnt even hold on to the phone....
as for yol bolson......yeah i think its entirely appropriate for backpacking

“LMAO! She can drink Disarono, but not horribly cheap wine. LOL! Now that is a testament to good liquor!”

“yep.....grated that was a few years ago with the wine....now we pick on her bout being a lush....ive started making her a brandy slush...uses a half bottle of peach, and regular brandy each, one frozen lemonade and orange juice, pulp free....and water to taste...freeze”

“hey bourbon drinkers - anyone have any opinions about Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur? I remember it being mentioned in a TR but other than that - no knowledge.
