Why should Wilderness have all the fun! 
Note: attempting to answer while sober is a rules violation.
Identify this track.

I'll make 2 wild stabs:
a. Wilderness
b. IH 820

Hope I'm not wrong, 'cause I've never made a mistake. rflmao1

And this has what to do with Bourbon?

Can't drink any during Passover, anyhow and the kid just brought back some really nice ones from Astor Wines and Liquors in NYC. Now, the guy who invents Kosher for Passover whiskey...that guy will become a millionaire.

I'll have a few fingers of Woodford Reserve in your honor!
I don't know enough about the dietary laws to figure out how to make kosher bourbon.

I salute the Giss with a kosher beer. (if that's possible) I'm also ignorant on many of the kosher rules. Happy Passover Keith.

My next DRF Harness column runs the Derby week. Here is a snippet-

Column Aside- As an avowed bourbon snob, the one bad thing about the Derby is this conflagration known as the mint julep. Even worse is that a quality, albeit overpriced, bourbon like Woodford Reserve would embrace such a travesty. Good bourbon is quaffed straight, on the rocks or with a splash of branch water. Cheap bourbon needs to be cut with sugar and mint. And that comes from someone who grows enough mint to cover everyone in Louisville, and most of Frankfort and Lexington.

(Hopefully Ms Hollar is taking notes)

I took one sip of a Mint Julep in honor of Derby Day, and immediately gave the rest away. Didn't care for it at all. Now a bit of Jack Daniels Black Label, Segram's VO, or Crown Royal is a different story. Toss in a fine stogie and you've got a fine outing.

Looks like we need to teach you about real American Whiskey thumbsdown. Could not agree more about the stogie, though. thumbsup

It's hard to teach a beer drinker anything! rflmao1  I rarely touch the harder stuff; has to be a special occasion.

I tend to drink bourbon neat or at times mixed with coke.  Woodford Reserve is just fine.  I've been to the distillery a few times along with several other places.  The Bourbon Trail, you can't beat it.  I also like Buffalo Trace and Maker's Mark.  My kids usually buy me some fancy single barrel stuff that is 15-20 years old for Christmas,it's very good but at $60 a pop, you can't drink it all the time. Hell, I bought a 1.5 liter bottle of Old Crow to drink with coke and it works just fine!  I always stock up when in Kentucky because the prices are less than around here. I'm not a fan of mint julips.
