Old Grand Dad 100 proof bottled in bond bourbon whiskey.

Jefferson, Be aware "Old Pat" is drinking at 10,000 feet of elevation. Hell even cold water will give you a "Buzz" at that altitude.

That is pretty humorous.

Another note on the Grand Dad 114, this is a big complex whiskey worthy of some study. It's now firmly ensconced in my normal rotation.

It's good hooch!

Old Overholt is damn good whiskey. It's cheap, but that doesn't mean it's not good.

For me, it was an acquired taste. Didn't like the first bottle all that much. But one trip up the hill, that was all that was in camp. (except, of course for that disgusting horse piss, Budweisr) Kinda grew on me. Now, I buy 3-4 bottles per year.

On the way back from the eye doctor this morning I stopped in to a liquor store thats on the way.

Got a bottle of the Old Overholt Rye, and a bottle of High West Double Rye. these should be interesting to try.

So you're stalking me now????






















Sure.

[mrkalashnikov]

Well...I guess sure...why not?

Pervert!

Its cleared.

I think it would be a blast. Plus Kentucky overall is a neat state.

My dad was born in Ashland, KY.

Cool.

Have you visited the state much, Viking?

Way back in my Under-Grad days I worked driving "Big" rigs in the summer. My partner and I rolled off the Carolina coast for a back haul load in Kentucky. We put a Cummins powered Freighterliner up a dirt road in Adair County one Sunday morning.
We had to wait all day while farmers piled 44,000 pounds of beautiful cured Burly on our trailer. We were treated to some fine home made wine and food served with such hospitality. We talked about that visit all the way to the Pacific coast. I would like to return there some day.

Thats pretty cool.

Ya don't need to go "Back East." Back in the 50s and 60s, one of my cousins in Eastern Colorado raised corn and barley on an irrigated half section.

A bit of it got diverted from the grain cars to the fruit jars! Nothing like good home cookin.'

Funny you say that. I'm reading a book right now on small batch home whiskey distilling. Since I've been brewing my own ale for a few years now, this doesn't sound too much more complicated.

[Durangokid]

The Julesburg Basin may have the corn but one thing is missing. They do not have that iron free "Limestone" water. That is the deciding factor in making good whisky. Pat, have you ever read the history of whisky Gap Wyoming.

This is an area I have an interest in also. I am fuzzy though on the legality.

Unfortunately, no. My dad live in Memphis after I was born. I spent quite a few summers and Christmases there with him. The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is on my to do list.

Completely illegal in the states to distill your own alcohol without paying taxed and having the approved paperwork from the gov.

I thought there was something about an exception if it is for non-consumption. Like if its intended for use as fuel or something...not sure.

edit-ok, this info is at your link.
