Tatoosh Bourbon – The Review
And….we’re back. We recently were able to acquire a bottle of Tatoosh Bourbon, as pictured to the left.

I am unclear as […]
Old Forester Birthday Bourbon – The Review
Every year around Christmas-time (a coincidence?) my birthday comes around. Sadly, if I want to drink bourbon, all bourbon is much younger than I.

Elijah Craig Single Barrel 18 Year-Old Bourbon – The Review

Mencken

Jerome

The Jug of Empire!
"How solemn and beautiful is the thought that the earliest pioneer of civilization, the van-leader of civilization, is never the steamboat, never the railroad, never the newspaper, never the Sabbath-school, never the missionary -- but always whiskey!" ~Mark Twain
