It's a whiskey tasting kinda of night ...

It's like anything else. Limited supply drives up the cost. I took my wife and daughter to dinner last night. The pre-dinner drink choice was a tough decision. The restaurant had Pappy 15, Blantons, and a number of other options. I held back on ordering the Pappy at $60 and enjoyed a Blantons at $15. I'm a bit worried that the bottle of Blantons I purchased will be in harms way tonight. Several people are coming to the house to watch the football game.

Have you tried the Buffalo Trace ? If so what would you consider the taste close too ?

Well I can't join you with the sippin tonight. Had back surgery on Tuesday and the meds and alcohol don't mix very well. It was back in 1982 when I got a call from a retired Colonel I knew that was working up at the Enstrom Helicopter Company up in Menominee, Michigan. He asked me if I would like to come up and help them transition a group of pilots from the Chilean Army into the Enstrom 280 F model. I was not checked out in the Enstrom but he said I was one of the few instructors he knew that had any experience flying piston engine helicopters. He also said that the Enstrom flew and autorotated almost identical to a Bell Jet Ranger and I would not have any problems transitioning into it. Somewhat intrigued and with a lot of leave time on the books and a promise of a big payout at the end for my time. It was an interesting three weeks, one week with me getting checked out then two weeks training them in two of the helicopters the Chilean Army and bought. It was interesting in that only two of the instructors spoke English and it was broken English at that. Things actually worked out better than I thought. The people they had sent were good pilots to begin with. Anyway at the end they threw a little party for us. Each of us instructors, got a mug from, The Class of 82. I was a brandy drinker at the time so I got two bottles of Pisco. Pisco is a Chilean kind of brandy, if you want to call it that. It is more like a 151 Rum kind of brandy, goes down very smooth and knocks you flat on your butt if you are not careful. I have no idea what the alcohol content is since it was bottled in Chile and not shown The other bottle is Dave's Fave cinnamon whisky. It tastes somewhat like Canadian Mist with cinnamon. It's a very smooth and tasty sipping whisky.

I just got home from a trip to Louisville. A close friend bought 25 barrels of bourbon as an investment and was invited to spend a couple days touring distilleries. Lucky me got to join him. It was great trip and I learned a great deal about the Kentucky bourbon industry. The tastings were awesome although this led me to buying too many bottles. Highly recommend planning a trip to Bourbon country!
