That damn bartender ain't working for tips, I can tell you
Might have to run across the street and grab a 40 if he doesn't get here soon

Attn: @heelz2345, @toophly1124, and other bourbon lovers
North Carolina ABC stores currently have a sale on 1.75 L bottles of Woodford Reserve: $68, down from $73 normally. I got paid yesterday and figured what the hell, I'm gonna drink that much eventually anyway. And since a 750 mL bottle is $40, you end up saving about 27%, which equates to a nice 6-pack of beer. I have either a drinking problem or a math problem, not sure which.
The only downside is that the 1.75 L bottle is comically large. Like, cartoon huge. I have to use two hands to pour a glass because I'm afraid I'm going to drop the bottle. None of the pourers I have will fit, so I probably just need to buy an oversized one.

I'll start with a Bloody Mary, bacon garnish, please and thank you.
Just for future reference, I want to be in on the "bourbon lover" crowd. Woodford Reserve is definitely a good one. I really expanded my Scotch palate over the winter, and will now be working on expanding my bourbon palate over the summer. Which is nice, since it's a little cheaper on average too. Any suggestions would be appreciated (might need to be more of the more popular ones as I'm sure there are some smaller brands that don't quite make it up to New England).
.....where have you been? Lol. JuleZ and I talk about this drink probably once a month.
First, I'm pissed @Raising Heel didn't include me in the bourbon lovers list since I'm one of few on here he's actually drank bourbon with in person.
Secondly, I bought this yesterday. These colors don't run:
Before you make fun of me for drinking Evan Williams, please note that Evan Williams is one of few bourbon brands left that is AMERICAN owned and privately owned still. Lots of the major bourbon brands have sold out to the Japs and such.
They got tagged because the three of us had specifically discussed Woodford Reserve. Pull your panties outta your crack.

'Murica!
I can appreciate that. If I'm going to a football game and I'm going to pour coke or ginger ale in it, then EW is fine. But I don't drink bourbon often and when I do, I have to have the good stuff. I prefer to drink it neat or on the rocks and you just can't do that with EW. Or at least, I can't.
Nice. I've had Bulleit before (both the bourbon and the rye whiskey), and Basil Hayden's - both very good options. I think I'll take up your suggestion on my next trip to the liquor store and get Booker's.
Ya, I'm the same way on this. Beam and EW are ok if I'm mixing it with some soda and just trying to throw a few back - but I'm willing to spend a little more if I'm sipping on it to get the good stuff. Up until a couple years ago I preferred to mix it anyways, but lately I've become more of a fan of sipping and getting the actual bourbon taste.
THN is turning into Mr. Sensitive now that he rides horses and goes to the opera.
Looking forward to a few of these tonight along with a steam pot
It's called a Dark and Stormy. Although technically you're supposed to use dark rum instead of spiced rum
Somebody call 911 'cause @TarHeelNation11 just got murdered.

I just puked in my mouth looking at this pic
Best news I've heard all day ...I'm finishing what I had left in the fifth as I type so I'll be making a trip tomorrow ...btw I love math and bourbon so your poast was kinda orgasmic
View from the living room this afternoon. I ended up not taking advantage of @Raising Heel's advice on getting the comically huge size but I did enjoy a bit of this particular bottle today.
