    Tex_77 20210524_180622.jpg My wife was the subject of a surprise retirement party given by her co-workers…these were a few of the gifts. I will, no doubt, help rid the cupboard of these pesky critters. It’s gonna be a good summer running the smoker.

    Jonesy That’s a very nice start. All that pressure when deciding which one to open first. Have her take deep breaths and slow. It’ll be OK. But, I will tell both of you that the first sip is a wonderful start.

        Jonesy The Cincinnati Distillery was formally Sycamore. Their 10 year American whiskey was great.

            Jonesy Congrats that is awesome, hope she, and you enjoy the retirement! FYI I talked to Pat from https://shakenorstirredbartending.com/ and we are going to have him on the podcast soon(ish) we are going to talk about some pairing and some good entry level bourbons. Anything anyone want us to specifically talk about?

              Jonathon Re Bourbon Topic for “Pat”: Since so many do not understand the different types of bourbon, it would be nice for him to respond to the different types and their characteristics: Wheated, Low and High Rye, Others. It would be an educational moment for many.

                Jonathon And if you want to ramp it up a bit, let’s see what he thinks of bourbons “finished” in port, rum and wine casks. Lately, those are my current favs. Just another idea.

                  zbigjeff - great idea. I for one, could use some bourbon education units (beu’s).

                        Just tried this one today. It’s called Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey. Couldn’t locate anyone else posting on this beauty. The brand was started by an emancipated slave who taught Jack Daniel how to distill product. It was a full tasting oakey smooth whiskey or bourbon that’s aged 7 years with a long lasting taste. We had 2 large pours just to make sure it was as good the second time. Then, went out and bought a bottle for the arsenal.

                            GWG8541 I understand it has a good following in our state. Shouldn’t be a problem to locate. Happy hunting. Yep, it was nicely woody.

                              zbigjeff I first tried that here in Colorado about the first of the Year. Loved it. It’s smooth and has a great finish (the wife even liked it!). Also the story about Uncle Nearest is very interesting. Time for me to get another bottle!

                                  Bob Stehlik zbigjeff if you have taken the tour at JD, they tell the story. Im a big fan if many Tennessee whiskeys and like collecting JD memorabilia. If you ever get the chance, I highly suggest taking the tour, whether you like the product or not, its a great educational and historical part of our great country.

                                    GWG8541 No I haven’t taken that tour. Our little tasting group of 10 people were planning a 2 week trip for May 2020. Yep, that didn’t happen. Still on the list. But, first things first. Get this hip ready for standing and walking in the future. Then, we’re off to the races.

                                        craigrice That thought will be wandering around between my ears probably in the 2nd week. There’s always a positive to every situation. Sometimes, a person has to look very far for THAT positive. I looked back at how I got in this situation and thought: You’ve got this. Hopefully, I can pull it from that old gut one more time. 🙂
