Looked it up online, supposedly it was considered one of Kentucky's best bourbons back in the day, before it was bought by someone else.

The only Whiskey I have ever enjoyed was a bottle of Jameson's Limited that I got as a gift. When I saw the price after I finished the bottle, I have never had it since.

The problem is the good stuff is expensive. But, it's good, so you drink it quicker. And then you have to go buy more of the expensive good stuff. And the crap just sits there for years and years on your liquor shelf, because you would rather replenish the good stuff, then dip into the crap.

Last year, my wife used some of the good stuff in a mixer. I was not very happy about that. That's what the lesser stuff is for.

I would have been better off just sticking with my college choices of Boone's, Mad Dog 20/20, JD, and Natty Light in a can.

Ahh, that explains the Taylor Swift concert...

Yeah I'm not really a drinker at all, too many problems in my late teens early twenties, so I sort of gave it up.

Boone's is by far the worst. I remember having a 3 bottle night and having a headache for a week after along with some unexplained injuries.

I equate faceoffs to foul shooting in basketball. The more you work at them, the better you should become. Hayes needs to put in the time watching tape of other players tendencies and practicing on the ice. If he does he will be fine.

what?! thats an awful way of looking at it; its comparing apples and oranges. its a free throw because its just you and the hoop, with no one contesting the shot. a more appropriate analogy would be closer to the tip off in basketball

I don't equate anything with that awful sport.


Speaking of other sports, what did you think of the Dez contract?

I am a scotch/whiskey guy, and end up spending way too much money on the good stuff. With that said, I am not the type that can describe wine or scotch to people in an intelligent way. Basically, the extent of my analysis is that I like what tastes good to me.


Never heard of Old Fitzgerald, but that doesn't mean much. Sounds like it has amazing potential, however.

My standards are Macallans, Dalwinney, Glenmorangie, and older Glen Livets. I like Jameson's gold on the whiskey side. Norway Pete seems to like Laphroig, which I need to try.

Kind of depends what taste you like, and people will talk about Peat levels in scotch, which is basically very old dirt in Scottish bogs that is used to fire Scotch. The Peatier, for lack of a better phrase, the smokier, if you like that sort of thing.

- Pete V

Glenmorangie is great

Yeah I thought it wasn't too bad.

Crazy the amount of money these guys get, and then they all have money problems.

I think part of the problem is they have to many friends/family/entourage members/agents that they have to pay and give money to haha. Also they are just really dumb and spend the money like it's hot potatoes

Yeah, just plain stupid. If you cant retire comfortably after a contract like that, you deserve to be broke.
