Bourbon Whiskey

“I'm contemplating what type of 1/2 gallon to take on my upcoming 3 day canoe trip....

I would welcome any and all suggestions...”

“128 oz / 3 = wow, that's alot of bourbon for one person.”

“I don't think I've ever seen good bourbon come in a 1/2 gal. bottle/jug.”

“dayhiker, why do have to be so judgmental?

Nigal, It doesn't have to be bourbon. But bourbon works well with crystal light lemon aid...”

“Mixing bourbon? That's like catchup on steak. If ya gotta put catchup on your steak you're eating the wrong steak. IMHO of course.”

“oh geesh, I ask for your help and you give me bourbon snobbery...”

“Stick to the wine coolers dude. LOL!

Get a couple bottles of bulleit bourbon. By the end of the trip you'll throw the lemon aid away.”

“expensive?”

“$22 a bottle and it's one of the best I've ever tried. Others here can confirm.”

“SOLD!
Do you deliver?”

“I wasn't judgemental, just an observation. I wouldn't be able to stand after lunch on day 1 at that rate.”

“Good thing I'll be sitting in my canoe.....”

“touche'”

“dayhiker, that would be 64/3 or a mere 21 ounces a day.

That's a manageable number.”

“Nigal thanx, I'll pick one up tomorrow after dropping the kiddies ofta school. I don't really know bourbon from stump water hardly, so y'all's help is great apreeshed.”

“Spend four more dollars and get EAGLE RARE not Rare Breed by Wild Turkey...wait thats good too but the best I've ever had is Eagle Rare!”

“Shewt Spam, I thawt you might suggest Boone's Farm!”

“chili - I did do that based on a gallon. Oops. I'd still be in bad shape with that much. I'm a lightweight.”

“LMAO, dayhiker, I'd be what you could call a flyweight!”

“I don't really drink that often but when I do I go for it....Like on the Buffalopalooza hike....heh heh”

“Shoot, if I have more than about 4 beers at a get together you could just about turn the light out on me.”

“Hehe, that's about me, if even I go that far.”

“I'm going to a crawfish boil in another town tonight. I'm going to have to behave to be able to get home.”

“

I found a bourbon to rival my favorite Bulleit bourbon. Elijah Craig 12 year old bourbon. It scored a 8.5 on my Holy Shlt This is Good scale. Until I discovered it's only $25ish! It's a 9.5 now. It's 94 proof but smooth as silk. I thought it was better than Makers or Knob.”

“IMHO there are several that are way better than Makers on any day. I've tried Elijah but I am a dyed in the wool 100+ proof man so Knob Creek gets the ribbon.

Another over rated is Woodford Reserve...just as soon have Old Yellowstone.”

“Bullit has been my casual bourbon, but I will be on the lookout for Elijah Craig”

“Where in the hell have you guys been...Elijah Craig has been sitting right there on the shelf all these years and you've never tried it?It's in my top five but still not close to my fav Eagle Rare.I still haven't trien that Pappy Von whatever yet but as soon as I find it I'm gonna!”

“I need to try it on it's own because last night I was three glasses deep into a bottle of Buleit before having a couple glasses of it.

I tried to find Pappy Van Winkle but we don't have it in Ohio. That's what we get for allowing the government to handle our liquor sales. The next time I go to Red River Gorge I'm stopping at the liquor barn and get some.”

“Spam the next time we are on a trip together I will fetch a bottle. I don't think it compares to others though.”

“Van winkle is good stuff

I know what you mean nigal about state controled whiskey distribution

I make a run to Louisiana when I need to stock up

Wally world is in the liquor business over there”

“I made a discovery this wknd, makers mark coming out your nose is not an enjoyable experience.”

“Ouch! How'd ya manage to do that?”

“nigal, I was drinking my beer and trying to enjoy my night after the sargeant major told my wife to put on ear muffs, then told one of my soldiers he was being involuntarily redpolyed in 10.5 mos, my team leader asked the SMJ outside to fight,then called him a POGUE, tore him a new ahole, I yelled at our sargeant major and threatened to smash a beer mug over the other SMJs face and somehow decided bourbon would help. Evidently I was wrong, it appears that I was too drunk to be able to breath and drink at the same time. I feel so reintegrated now.”

“Geez, Birch, you don't need the drama.”

“LMAO! Birch you tellem!”

“Did you at least attempt to catch the Maker's Mark as it came out your nose and re-drink it, or was it wasted?”

“Waste not, want not”

“tru dat treebait.

I dont know if it was wasted or not bit, its hard to recall since i was gasping for air and couldnt see through the tears. it felt like tear gas. The part i drank was good though.”

“I'll take your word on the tear gas thing.

Please don't suggest that to your hierarchy though, some O-5 might take you seriously and start thinking about getting promoted.”

“O-5's spend all their time figuring out how to get promoted.”

“Thanks for the heads up, nigal. I picked up a bottle of EC on the way home and I am very favorably impressed”

“Anyone ever try Jeremiah Weed?”

“Why Nigal ,what crime did he commit ?”

“No, but after you turned me on to Elijah Craig, it has been my "table" boubon of choice. Keep the reports coming. You are 1 for 1 in recommendations so far”

“1 for 1? What about the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey? That should put me at 2 for 2. LOL!”

“makers mark 46 is nice, strong but smoooooth”

“I was already drinking Bulleit. You don't get credit for that one.”

“Then I owe you a swift kick in the nuts for not turning ME onto it! LOL!”

“Hearing chili and N talking about turning each other on is not really the mental image I wanted going into the weekend.”

“And yet you're the one with an erection. LOL!”
