I got my invation last night from the Small Batch Bourbon people at Jim Beam. Next week Fred and one of the "Experts" will be in town for a tasting. They picked a BBQ place that is Cigar Friendly. Now I have to deciede what cigars to bring along. Big Decision!
 
I met Fred Noe a few years ago at a tasting of the re-release of Jim Beam Black. Very nice guy, easy to talk to, lots of fun to be around, that type of person. Should be fun for you.
 
Turn out the lights, the party is over for me. Way too much free Bourbon. It was funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
 
That's the idea. Cheers. Glad you had a good time. When you wake up, give us a call with some details.
 
I have been having difficulity getting the picture small enough for the program to accept. Can someone help ?
 
I can help you out - email them to me (one per email if they are big) - I'll PM you my addy
 
While the MAN does his thing I will tell the story.

I arrived at the designated Watering hole about 5:45 for a 6:00 kick off. The two Bourbon Chicks(see pictures) were there getting everything set up. They set up many, many places with 4 glases each and a place mat with a little blurb about the Bourbons(see Picture). I guess there was about 6 corporate guys who were there just to eat and drank Bourbon. I lloked like a job for me after i retire from the one I have now. We ate BBQ (see picture of Pig) at 6:eek:o and started the "OPEN BAR" as long as it was a Jim Beam Product it was :"ON THE HOUSE". At 7:00 the Bourbon Girls went to work putting samples in the glasses. Then Fred went to work explaning the how, what and whys of bourbon. That ended the structured portion of the evening. Met a lady who hes been drinking Bourbon longer than me (see Picture). I had to hold a class on what a Knob Creek Manhattin was and how to make it (see pictures).
I asked Fred about the the age of the Bookers(they had bookers from the same batch you have been complaining about Bloofington). Fred said it was good as any they have bottled up to this point. I said I didn't agree with him. So he pulled out a gun and shot me 4 times. Or did we have 4 shots of Bookers to determine who was right? I am not sure what the outcome of the discussion was but it was a great way to try and figure it out.
Now you'll must wait until Cybrus gets the pictures posted to see the story.
