In the spirit of this august and auspicious occasion, I thought I might share some items DG has recently drawn from our cellars. (He's the drinker in the family; although Edmund the Dodo and Lanfranc the Platypus do imbibe from time to time -- but I digress.)
To continue where Mr. Squirrel left off... "Isle of Jura" single-malt scotch whiskey. Distilled since 1810 from pure spring water on the island of Jura, and the sole distillery on the island.

Staying in Britain and not far from the Scottish border, we present an offering from Nick Stafford's Hambletom Ales from north Yorkshire. "Toleration" is brewed from sugar, without any barley, rye, or wheat malt; it is rich in the flavor of cascade, liberty, and challenger hops. (Sounds like something Squirrel would like.)
Offering the best of both worlds of Blue Grass Brewing Company's "Jefferson's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout." This fine microbrew stout is aged in used oak barrels from award-winning Jefferson's Reserve bourbon for 90 days. Yummy!
Also in the Bourbon realm is the unique "Prichard's Double Barrelled." This bourbon is aged, blended, and then barrelled and aged again after blending to deliver an especially smooth taste. Paradoxically, this bourbon is produced in Tennessee -- if the governor of Kentucky sees this post, he'll likely revoke my driver's license.
You haven't challenged anyone to a dual have you?

For those of you who might be wondering at the comment above, the constitution of the all-glorious Commonwealth of Kentucky requires that oaths of all office-holders and every attorney in the state include the provision that the swearer has not challenged, fought, or seconded a duel since the adoption of the "new" state constitution (in 1891). Happily, one doesn't have to swear a public oath to get a drivers' license in this state; all you have to do is contribute to the current county clerk's re-election fund.
ReplyDeleteElleah hereby challenges you to a dual, preferred weapon the sabre, although she said she will allow foil if you so desire
ReplyDeleteand she said she is gonna kick yer furry little hinny
but she'll let you live because she plans to use you as a puppet in her new world order
I need to drink more.
ReplyDeleteAs long as he doesn't accept the challenge WH should be ok. You really don't want the rath of the governor (chuckle, chuckle) comming down on you.
ReplyDeleteI was on a flight with the governor from Atlanta to Hooterville one day (he was riding in Ccach on Delta; he cut back on using the "governors" 35 year old twin Beach when he was nearly shot out of the sky over Washington DC flying in for Regan funeral; yes he is the one who caused an evacuation of the capital when the transponder failed in his plane. I somehow restrained myself from saying, "oh pardon me, you've pardoned every one else." He issued a blanket pardon to a laundry list of state employees for any crimes they might have committed in hiring and firing state employees. It wasn't like this in Florida.

Sweet, another title. I'm going to have to have new business cards printed...
