They all went to growing pot through the 80's & 90's and now their into meth labs.
There might be a bit still coming out of Franklin County, Va aka "The Moonshine Capital Of The World." flower

I went to the ABC store the other day to pick up some Scotch, but then I saw this and had an AAD attack and had to have it. As you can see it's Old Forester Whiskey in a special 75th Aniversary of the Prohibition Repeal set; came with a special glass, a scroll with a copy of the 21st Amendment and the whisky in a specially labeled bottle. It is very smooth.

It's just about closing time and I'm looking forward to some of that sweet nectar.

My everyday pours rotate between Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Elijah Craig 12yr.
Those are supplemented usually by Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Four Roses Small Batch or Single Barrel.
I was lucky to be gifted a bottle of Elijah Craig 18yr and Hudon Four Grain Bourbon (from Tuthilltown Distillery, a new distillery in New York). The Hudson tastes like Elmer T. Lee with some pine in it.

I love bourbon. I have a few favorites. Elijah Craigh 18 is one. I also like George Dickel barrel select. Also, I like Bookers alot.

For mixing, I use Jim Beam. I tried one called Old Whiskey River which is supposed to be a small batch, but it seems like Jim Beam to me.
