Top Ten Rejected Bourbon Names

[cowdery]

Here's a game we can all play. Let's collectively develop a list of top ten rejected bourbon names. So more people can play, limit yourself to one entry. Here's mine:

Number 10: Buffalo Truss

--Chuck Cowdery

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Number Nine: Old Ballerina

Linn Spencer

Have Shotglass. Will Travel.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Chuck,
Does this list include brand names that were used but probably should never have been? If so there was a pre-prohibition brand from Daviess county I would nominate to your list.

Number 8: Yellow Creek

If you don't want actual brands from the past then I will have to go with a story from my United Distillers days. Gary and Mardee Regan were questioning Ed Foote about making a bourbon just the way he would like to do so. His reply was that he already did that with Old Fitzgerald and besides, "Old Foote" was not a very good name for a bourbon, so alternatively:

Number 8: Old Foote

[cowdery]

The only criteria is that they should be funny, and both of those are cracking me up.

--Chuck Cowdery

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Chuck,
Since we were limited to one, I will let you be the judge as to which one makes your list.

Chuck,
Another post elsewhere reminded me of this series of posts. It also reminded me that I saw a Civil War reference to a distiller on Yellow Creek a couple of months ago.
