If you’re not a fan of Junior, you guys can skip ahead to about the 2:50 mark. (click on the Family Traditions title)

Me 'n ole Hand Jr...they lived in the rent house behind us when my Dad was stationed at Barksdale AFB after WWII, there was no fence and my mom and his wife would sit out there and drink tea while me and ole Hank Jr played in the sandbox.

For turn up Thursday. We had some finely made, plastic bottle, brown looking liquid known as...

Evan Williams.

Personal thoughts? It tastes like gasoline. You know when you siphon some gas and you get over excited and apply too much vacuum? Ending in a light and delicate swig of unleaded?

Evan Williams taste about the same. Strong notes of dirty fuel hose ending with hints of metal shavings. Makes Jim Beam seem like top shelf stuff.

You need to try Rebel Yell. One of the oldest whiskies made.

Thanks... I'll stay away from that crap.

Have you tried the new Fistful of bourbon?

 

[single stack]

Evan Williams is okay for bottom shelf Bourbon.
My preference for inexpensive is Ezra Brooks.
I don't want to shell out the money for real top of the line Bourbon but I do serve Rebecca Creek to my guests.
Lately, I find myself enjoying blended Canadian Whisky.
I keep a flask of Black Velvet in my golf bag for a nip to celebrate birdies.

No but I did try some faker stuff. I believe the name was, "Sommers Whiskey". The neighbor sent a friend to the Asian liquor store. Told her to ask for something to help a tooth ache. She came back with that. A plastic bottle about 4" high, about 2" wide with a neck at the top.

After trying a sip. I asked to see the bottle because it was straight phucking nasty. Here's where it gets bad.

The label said it was 20% whiskey and 80% of something called "neutral alcohol". It wasn't even real whiskey. It tasted like it wasn't safe to drink. Lol, my friend drank the whole nasty thing. I turned down every offer. Phuck that.

WTF is Neutral Alcohol?? Lolololol

You should try some Jeremiah Weed.

Now, here’s some of my friends singing the praises of good old Jeremiah Weed.

Evan Williams is great in bourbon & coke. Angels Envy is good straight, as is Baby Blue.

Rebecca Creek gets cut with vodka too. (neutral alcohol) (not kidding)

I have pretty much switched to single malt scotch, usually Glenfiddich.

You all need to try Buffalo Trace. EXCELLENT! It won't burn a hole in your throat, or your gut. Smoooooth!

And for the 3rd year in a row the worlds best whiskey Is William Larue Weller Kentucky bourbon. I thought I might just have to try it until I saw the avg street price, $1,600/bottle. GULP

I have. It’s wholly underwhelming. Not bad, just not a lot to it.

 

[grasshopperglock]

Round two with Mr Evans. I shouldn't have cussed him. In coke with ice it's fine.

Other Weller is highly drinkable and affordable.

And, Weller is part of the Buffalo Trace family. Stablemates include Blanton’s and EH Taylor.

All good value bourbon and good value bond and limited editions.

Long time coming but I have a box of Fireball in the fridge. My wife just had our 4th kiddo 1 week ago. (Finally got a girl). First thing she told me while she was still in recovery was that she wanted a Firrball and rootbeer.

P.S. the box of Fireball is actually 2 1.75L sacks in a box. Think of a box of wine.

Not my even my 10th choice but the better half just spent 9 months off the wagon. It's the least I could do.
