I had a bourbon flight at happy hour: Woodford reserve, Yahara Bay, and Jefferson's. Yahara Bay is a new favorite of mine.

So PKT ...I didn't post this , but the other night had this years release of the Elijah Craig barrel proof. Hands down bet bourbon I have ever had!

That is a BOLD statement considering my love for Stagg , Larue, Pappy, Parkers etc....

Simply perfect! 100 points

A glass of plain Chianti. Not fine. Certainly nothing I'd pair with fava beans and liver. However, good for cheap. It's great in that it reminds me that I'm having a wonderful Classico Riserva Saturday and boy I cannot wait.

I'm drinking a very mediocre Malbec. That's after I cracked a bottle of Carmenere that went bad. So I have to go back to the store tomorrow and return the spoiled bottle. 0 for 2 on wine tonight; should've gotten whiskey.

That's awful luck. Sorry to hear that bud. Do you not have emergency whiskey?

Then comes the zenith of man’s pleasure. Then comes the julep---the mint julep. Who has not tasted one has lived in vain. The honey of Hymettus brought no such solace to the soul; the nectar of the Gods is tame beside it. It is the very dream of drinks, the vision of sweet quaffings. The Bourbon and the mint are lovers. In the same land they live, on the same food they are fostered. The mint dips its infant leaf into the same stream that makes the bourbon what it is. The corn grows in the level lands through which small streams meander. By the brook-side the mint grows. As the little wavelets pass, they glide up to kiss the feet of the growing mint, the mint bends to salute them. Gracious and kind it is, living only for the sake of others. The crushing of it only makes its sweetness more apparent. Like a woman’s heart, it gives its sweetest aroma when bruised. Among the first to greet the spring, it comes. Beside the gurgling brooks that make music in the pastures it lives and thrives.

When the Blue Grass begins to shoot its gentle sprays toward the sun, mint comes, and its sweetest soul drinks at the crystal brook. It is virgin then. But soon it must be married to Old Bourbon. His great heart, his warmth of temperament, and that affinity which no one understands, demand the wedding.

How shall it be?

Take from the cold spring some water, pure as angels are; mix it with sugar until it seems like oil. Then take a glass and crush your mint within it with a spoon---crush it around the borders of the glass and leave no place untouched. Then throw the mint away---it is a sacrifice.

Fill with cracked ice the glass; pour in the quantity of Bourbon which you want. It trickles slowly through the ice. Let it have time to cool, then pour your sugared water over it. No spoon is needed, no stirring is allowed---just let it stand a moment. Then around the brim place sprigs of mint, so that the one who drinks may find a taste and odor at one draught.

When it is made, sip it slowly. August suns are shining, the breath of the south wind is upon you. It is fragrant, cold and sweet---it is seductive. No maiden’s touch could be more passionate.

Sip it and dream, you cannot dream amiss.

Sip it and dream, it is a dream itself. No other land can give so sweet a solace for your cares; no other liquor soothes you so in melancholy days.

Sip it and say, there is no solace for the soul, no tonic for the body, like Old Bourbon whiskey.
