ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH, ONE BEER

[Rruuff Day]

Ever watch those NBA players reach down and grasp and pick up a basketball with one hand? Well, I think I could do that now. I've been practicing daily grasping the body of a 1.75 litre bottle of Buffalo Trace bourbon with one hand and have that mastered. Gonna send my resume in to the Harlem Globe Trotters and see what happens.

1.75 litres of Buffalo Trace will only make you a better dribbler....

A friend of mine bought me a bottle of Wayne Gretzky Ice Cask Premium Whiskey for helping him out a while back. I must say, it is delicious!

So I stumbled into this little beauty last week at Wine and Beyond in Calgary. Real nice little caramel finish to it. $150ish.

It appears Mr. Rruuff Day you have started a run on your favorite Bourbon, Woodward. I am more of a Crown Royal fan on the rocks, but to each his own. Eat, Drink and be Merry is my motto. Cheers!

 

[Rruuff Day]

Nothing wrong with Crown Royal and especially for the Canada made product support. If you haven't tried the Crown Royal "Blended Mash", give it a go. Good motto by the way...

I bought a bottle of Crown Royal's Bourbon Mash last week on a road trip. It even came in a fancy box. I thought it was pretty good. It's not made like real bourbon but it tastes ok. So I went down to the local MLCC to get another one because they are on sale and cheap. I couldn't find a bottle in a box that said Bourbon Mash on it. They had Blended Mash but not in a box. I was informed that a Canadian Company cannot use the term Bourbon. You'd think Seagram would have known that. American Distillers kicked up a stink. So the new bottle has no box and is called Blended Mash. I went to the other store in town and found they still had some of the Bourbon Mash in a box so I got one of those too. A Collectors Item. Making bourbon has rules. This is straight off the net. Crown Royal's Bourbon Mash does not check any of these boxes.

The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits, codified under 27 CFR §5.22(b)(1)(i), states bourbon made for U.S. consumption[21] must be:

• Produced in the United States and Territories (Puerto Rico) and the District of Columbia[22]
• Made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn[23]
• Aged in new, charred oak containers[23]
• Distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume)[23]
• Entered into the container for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume)[23]
• Bottled (like other whiskeys) at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by volume)[24]

That keeps the club members numbers low. I like. Don't want to many jumping on the bourbon bandwagon.

How many are drinking good bourbon instead of that rot gut Beam or Turkey….

Jim Beam Devil's Cut is pretty good.

 

[Rruuff Day]

Jim Bean Devil's Cut is pretty good.

Actually I've never been a Jim Beam fan but their Devils Cut is one of the better cheap bourbons.
