Bourbon in the Movies

[Clavius]

Double-BTW, TMC is a treasure...I'm not a film guy in the least. Actually, I hardly watch TV at all, and haven't been in a theater in 20+ years. But, these old movies can be cool, and I appreciate TMC for showing them, and giving some insight and history about them, the actors, directors, the era, etc.

Agreed. Turner Classic Movies is great.

Anyone able to figure out what whiskey "The Governor" has in the latest season of Walking Dead?

Not a movie...but in an episode of The Big Bang Theory, they were at a bar and on the bar infront of them was a bottle of Blanton's Original.

Best I could tell looked like a bottle of Bastille. Some French whiskey, apparently. Seen it. Never had it.

It is most assuredly not bourbon. It's finished in limousin oak casks, and I found it exceeding foul. It's too perfumey, too wine-like, too oaky (but not in the way good bourbon is, more like the way Australian chardonnays were in the mid- to late 80s when all you could taste was young oak). I took it back and got something else.

Thanks for the replies, fellas. That definitely seems like the bottle he had a lot in the early episodes.

I think he had another bottle in roughly episode 5 --- outside in a little courtyard type area, he's putting the moves on the blonde, saying how he loves his new life (post-zombie apocalypse), great whiskey, etc. The bottle kinda looked like Black Maple Hill.

Not a movie, but Pappy was prominently talked about and shown as an expensive gift and later drank on the TV show Justified last night.

"You know that is a $200 bottle of bourbon?"

"Yep, and I'm going to drink every drop."

I always find myself watching closely when they're pouring drinks on the Mad Men series. Yesterday I saw a beautiful tax-stamped bottle of WT101 which had me running for my WT CGF.

So it was the Lot B then, yeah?
