Hi Tray!

I've never heard of McLain & Kyne. Here's a few questions for you.

1) When did you start up your operation?

2) Are you a true distiller or a bottler?

3) I've never heard of Jefferson's Reserve or Sam Huston. How long have they been on the market and how much do they cost?

4) Your bourbons are not available in Virginia. Why not?

That's all for now. Thanks.

Hi Linn,
I've been waiting for Mr. Zoeller to answer. I know Sam H. is a label I found when I wandered into Even Kulsveen's and shot those photos so, it's my guess that Even bottles that one. Where are you Tray? Who are you Tray? Please talk to us...we don't bite (well, nip a little maybe but never bite...)

BJ Tray's silence is deafening. We are blessed to have you as our woman on the scene. You have a taste for adventure and your cladstine intelligence gathering operations have added much to our forum. You deserve a medal!

Maybe the secret is to use the man's actual name, which is "Trey" not "Tray."

Or maybe not.

Linn,
Awww Shucks (she blushes)...thank you kind sir. I stand at the ready to complete whatever mission the group chooses for me next. I am however, unworthy of a medal and more than a little frightened when someone wants to give me what I deserve [IMG]/wwwthreads/images/wink.gif[/IMG].

Brenda,
If Trey only knew how good looking you are, then he would be begging for a chance to be bitten!! Come on up to D Marie's with us one day and I will buy you a little nip of bourbon.

Hey Mike!
Honey...you're too kind. I also remember we were tasting Bourbon the afternoon we met....)
I'm looking forward to taking you up on that 'little nip' soon. I plan to get a room...maybe a cab would be cheaper...the only thing I'm sure of is...if I nip as much as I'd like to, I'll be most amusing...)
By the way, I have shots from the tasting. If I put them up for the group to see, would you consider writing captions for me? I'm sure everyone would love to hear about the day from your point of view. All I did was walk around with a camera and a big, stupid grin on my face....)
Looking forward to D Marie's,
Beej

Brenda,
If you want to post the pictures I would be happy to help anyway I could, But remember most of my time was spent in the same room with Julian, Elmer, Stuart, and Johnathan so I am sure you have a better idea what was going on at the event as whole than I do. Tasting 40 whiskeys in one day was a bit much, especially since only about 20% of them were bourbons.

P.S.
I am always ready to go to D Marie's so just let me know when you want to go.

Hey guys (and gals),
I've been trying to reach Trey for the last week or so but have been unable to do so. I assume he is currently preoccupied with vacation or out of town business or what have you, so I have chosen to be patient. Trust me, the man exists.
Though Chuck beat me to it, his name is Trey as in, well, Trey. A "tray" is a flat shallow container or receptacle used for carrying, holding, or displaying articles. Incapable of consuming or producing bourbon, it's existence is relatively inconsequential in the overall scheme of things. The one truly redeeming attribute of a "tray" (and you're gonna love this Linn) is that it appears exactly 30 entries before "trebuchet" in Webster's College Dictionary, and trebuchet's are definitely cool.

Cheers,
