Old Rip Van Winkle

[krusty the klown]

Sounds a bit like a painful medical complaint...

...but it's actually a tasty Kentuky Bourbon http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

I've never seen or heard of it before yesterday, when I got a bottle (10 year old, 90 proof) for my birthday. Jolly nice stuff - very smooth and not as dry as JD http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Them 'ol Kentucky/Tennessee boys know how ta make & age a good whiskey. George Dickel (http://www.georgedickel.com/main.html) is another example.

Excellent! They've got that in a local whisk(e)y shop. Quite a reasonable price, too http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Funny thing,
In a lot of those Kentucky county's.
Your allowed to make the stuff, but not allowed to drink it!... R.
PS. Someone might update us, how that works.

Rusty, someone else may chime in, but I think there are very few "dry" counties left in the US. Some have "dry" Sunday's at establishments, tho.

The laws in certain counties and cities in Tn are really screwed up. No beer sold between 3AM-8AM M-F in this one, Sunday is 3AM-12PM. Now that may not sound too bad until you work second shift and get off at 4AM. The county where JD is made is a dry one and I think the only totaly dry one left here. Some you can't buy by the drink at bars but you can buy a bottle and sit there and drinlk it.

Sounds like a good reason to keep the fridge well stocked http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

I used to live in Marion N.C.
It was in a dry county. Wonder if it still is? Many people were killed driving to Black Mountain to by booze and then drinking it on the way home.

Good to see sensible legislation in place... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

The drunk: cos I'm no chance of walking home this pissed!
