Adventures in whiskey

Recently after paying thirty two bucks for a bottle of Single Barrel I just could not get myself to cough up fifty for a bottle that will more than likely be gone in two or three days. A good friend also recommended I try Woodford bourbon whiskey (now that I drink everybody has a recommendation ha ha) so when my last bottle of single barrel was empty on Saturday I figured it was a good time to try out that Woodford. So I went to a nearby liquor store and tried to pick it up, unfortunately it was seventy five dollars for a 750 ml bottle. At that point I shit and walked out of the store… empty handed.

I decided I would try Vons for some Single Barrel since I did not want to go home empty handed. Vons had none, but they did however have Gentleman’s Jack which is like regular jack just filtered through the charcoal twice. It was yellow like pee and was only 80 proof, which after drinking five bottles of the Single Barrel was noticeably less “potent” and much less flavorful. I had to drink twice as much to feel good and ran out in a hurry.

Today I stopped by mom’s house to pick up a package and mow the lawn (which to my surprise was already mowed?.. and me package wasn’t there) The package did not arrive so I decided I would stop by the liquor store by my mom’s house. I walked in and looked for the Woodford which was for sale at the amazing price of $25.99!!! I damn near shit again, and bought a bottle as I was unsure as to why it was sooooo cheap. I came home started sippin’ and it’s damn good. Better than the Single Barrel? I don’t know… I really grew to love the flavor of the Single Barrel. This Woodford is also 94 proof and does have my head spinning so I guess it’s all good. Odds are I will buy more as it’s way too cheap to pass up. My mission: to buy every bottle at the liquor store by my mom’s house.

So Woodford gets a twisted two thumbs up. Will write a more in depth review of it when I’m a little less sauced. Drink responsibly folks.
