Bourbon in the Movies

So it was the Lot B then, yeah?

Actually, in a red bag, so 20 or 23 year?

I believe that comment was injected with a heavy dose of sarcasm, as a statement on the pricing policies of the Pappy line.

Let's not turn this into a Pappy thread.

Couple bourbon moments in Seven Psychopaths, which is great movie to boot.

Colin Farrell plays an Irish-American alcoholic (ha) and at one point we see him pulling straight from a bottle of BT. Then later, he goes thru a bottle of bourbon over the course of a night (which seemed to be a fake brand --- orange label and I think it was called 'Golden Bourbon').

Great oddball flic with a lot of awesome moments from Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell as well as Farrell.

In episode 1 of the new American version of House of Cards (streaming on Netflix), Kevin Spacey's character offers a fellow congressman with some substance abuse issues a nice neat pour of Blanton's by name....

Thanks for the reference Steve, just clicked and saved it on Netfiix. First ten minutes of the first program looks like a promising adaptation of the brilliant British series of the same name.

Watching the 80's Charles Bronson flic, "10 to Midnight"... and the bad-guy pours a bottle of Early Times whisky into a toilet.

At least he did one good deed for society.

I'd say that's just bad manners, he could've used vodka.

Didn't drank the mighty James Bond some Grand Old Dad in "Live and let die"???

[squire]

Could be, Bond had good tastes.
