Bourbon - a travel story - Page 2

What a great story. What I find oddest about your story telling is that you might be just as sarcastic as me.

You deserved every bit of what you god, Dave!

Great story Dave... That bourbon looks amazing...

GreekGodX · 07-25-2010, 10:25 AM

That's awesome

I don't think many people these days would do something like that, especially from my age group.

Dave, when you posted your "been gone for a while" thread, I realized how much I missed your wonderfully described stories and well thought out posts. This one just put a huge smile on my face.

yourchoice · 08-25-2010, 12:16 PM

So....do tell, how was it and which barrel was best?

cool story...
i only tasted one of the bottles... on saturday morning on my way out...
it was good

OLS · 08-25-2010, 01:27 PM

Yeah, Jules, I was like "THREE bottles?" The one I tasted was the makers mark
looking bottle and it was EXquisite!. Bursting with aromas and flavors. I say bursting
because the liquid literally exploded in your mouth. Smooth as silk and fine as frog
hair. I am a whiskey man before anything else, and I count myself lucky to have had
a large sip. I think it lasted a good hour and a half. The tiniest drop exploded into a
mouthful of spectacular alcoholic splendor. I nursed that lil plastic cup for SO long.
Now you've gone and done it, you're BACK up on top for man of the year, Dave.

I had several tastes of the bottle on the left....it was superb.

Whee · 08-25-2010, 02:26 PM

The bottle on the left was fantastic. The story makes it just that much sweeter.

Bill86 · 08-25-2010, 02:39 PM

Good things happen to good people it's true but in the form of bourbon? Never knew about that! A gesture like that is something you could never forget.

OLS · 09-02-2010, 05:33 PM

If I knew I could always get that taste and that expression, I would ONLY buy this
kind of drink, were it available. sadly i think that I could buy 25 year old whiskey
and it wouldn't even be close! I can't properly describe how complex and unique it was.

Montano · 09-02-2010, 06:21 PM

Karma, Brother, good karma

I love bourbon !!

icehog3 · 09-02-2010, 11:10 PM

I am not a big bourbon guy, but this stuff was the shiznit.

ODLS1 · 09-04-2010, 05:21 PM

That's awesome, and I'm very jealous. I would love to know more details, but completely understand him and you not wanting to share. It would make me more jealous I'm sure. I love bourbon and good people.

OLS · 10-01-2010, 10:51 AM

I was wondering, is there anything out there that comes anywhere CLOSE to that stuff? I know
it would have to have decades in a barrel to even come close, but I have been hell bent to
find something like that in a store so I can have a shot now and again. But there is no way
I am going to wander the woods like Hansel and Gretel tasting one old whiskey after another.
It literally exploded with flavor on the palate, like a liquid pop-rock under concentrate.
It was chewable. And I want to do it again. But what do I buy, at any price, to get there? hmmm.
