Hah. Ha're U? Beautiful day, wasn't it? I hope it was where you are.
Yes, here in Noo Yawk Citeh, it's still bourbon season at night. We still have nights in the 50's lately, low 50's some times, maybe even 40's last week.
That's bourbon season.
And after not having bourbon for months, I've begun to stock up over the past couple of days. My "ship" is in, and I had to sign the check over to the firm because I can't use my own account for a while. They only just let me know today it's clear, and can begin distributions, but I've been using income from this week to stock up.
YEAH, BABEEE!!! GIMME DAT BOURBON!!! Ain' had none 'at corn based likker fer munts nao. So, along with a Four Roses Single Barrel bottle the other day, yesterday I got a bottle of Vintage 21 and . . .
Old Fitzgerald 1849, a 90 proof bourbon, and with pickings as slim as they are these days, I made sure it was 90 proof. We all remember how mad I was at Sam Houston for coming down to 85.6 proof and ditching the age statement.
No age statement on this one. Good walk out price of $18.41. I bought all three of these bottles at Warehouse Wines.
So, first bourbon in months last night, and I went for the El Cheapo, and believe me folks, $18.41 these days is El Cheapo category. I've always been curious about this one, because of the name.
First impressions were light bodied, very light bodied, but a "rough and ready" flavor profile, something that you could both drink AND put in your gas tank at the Talladega 500. Seriously, there's something motor oil/refined petroleum, perhaps even plastic tasting about some of the sips, but it's mixed with a nice basic bourbon flavor also, that caramelly thingy.
It's kind of like being with a girl like, . . .
one of those tough Brooklyn/Queens Italian chicks. Hot as hell, but they'll deck you in a minute, too.
Stay tuned. That was Bourbon No. 86 in my career. I kind of liked it.
