but I just don't get it.
I'm talking about this thing some people talk about called a summer time bourbon. Don't get me wrong, there are some days that I do try, like when it's in the upper 70's to low 80's, low humidity and I'm spending almost all my time in the basement with all the windows open. It's amazing how much cooler a basement of a house is than the first floor. Notwitstanding that, it just doesn't taste the same, even on dry, pleasant days.
And of course forget about Sunday, which roared to 90 with all the wonderful humidity that we know so well in the Northeastern USA.
I just can't do it. It doesn't taste the same. Almost makes me gag. You can have your summer time bourbons. I'll wait until it's nighttime and it's gotten to be less than 60, preferably less than 50 degrees, which it actually does get to be on some of those summer like days, at least in my area. We have extremely wide temperature swings in my area of Dutchess County, being in low mountains and out in the country. Quite pleasant, but forget about drinking bourbon on those 85-100 degree afternoons, even in the basement, even a weakling like Basil Hayden's 80 proof and pleasant, straw like flavor.
Bourbon and rye's for the winter, football, snow shoveling, chicken soup, highs around ten degrees, now THAT'S bourbon and rye weather.
I think I need some more rum and gin. Oh right, got the rum, need more of that Bombay Sapphire gin. :idea:
