Firing Squad Whiskey- A Blindfold, a cigarette...and your last pour, what is it?

[humchan2k]

You've been caught by the rebels, you've been sentenced for a crime you didn't commit....and it's meet your maker time.

However, before you ship off, you get to pour yourself 1 final beverage...and it can be anything in the world..(no, it can't be something that you've never had/always wanted to try, first hand experience is a must, because if you've never had it, how do you know it's the best thing you've ever had, right?)...so what will it be?

My answer - I'd have a big glass of the Old Fitzgerald 6 year, SW juice from the 1940's that a certain fine gentleman in Seattle poured for me about 3 months ago....and call it a day.

Macabre, yes....but a novel idea.

Ok, your turn, go!

[Parkersback]

Oh, probably about 4 fingers of the current RittBIB.

It's not the best whiskey I've ever had in my life, but it's close, and seems appropriate somehow for a firing squad.

[kickert]

Straight back from the bottle with some GTS.

A 1.75L of OGD114 - and they have to wait until I finish it.

My bottle of Four Roses Mariage '09 will do the trick.

[sutton]

I've never seen a 1.75 of 114. I don't think they make one. I think a 750 will do.

Then they'll have to find it for me ... after all, it is my final request... :grin:

[CorvallisCracker]

I'd ask for a bottle of GTS...then ignite it with the lit cigarette and toss it at the squad.

No effing way am I going out without a fight! :duel:

Well played!!!!!!

[2highcal]

I would also go with the GTS I had the newest expression so that would have to be it drink about half and the light it and toss to the squad why waste all that good bourbon if you may not make it anyway. Ok probably less that half because I at least want to try to make it.

Somebody submit this to Mythbusters! Make mine a generous OWA.

[CorvallisCracker]

Somebody submit this to Mythbusters!

Well if it ain't flammable then someone should tell the FAA that they shouldn't classify a 140 proof spirit as a hazardous material.

You go first.

[bgageus]

Well since the end of the world is only 2 days away, I dont think that we need the Firing Squad hypothetical.

On Saturday, awaiting my judgement, I will be sitting on the porch with a glass of PHC 27.

[kc outdoorsman]

I would ask for something I know they couldn't easily get! That way I might have a week or two to escape and drink at a later date!

I wouldn't get too wound up about the 21st as I'm not sure that even those in the movement are believers.

To the jury, I submit the following:

A few weeks ago, Two RV's from the Family Radio group were parked on the street near the TV station across from my office. In the short time that I was gawking at them with the rest of my co-workers, I noticed one guy feeding the parking meters.

My firing squad choice?

Curtis/Hightower FRSB

[Hondo]

A single choice came to mind...

Old Charter Proprietors Reserve

Which reminds me that it has been far too long and I need to find another bottle of this juice before i pass...

[Pirate762]

A bottle of the 2111 (thats right 2111) GTS. I just hope I live that long.

[fishnbowljoe]

Anything but Beam White. I'd hate to crap myself, before the shots were fired. :slappin: Joe

GTS or Handy, either would do. Hell, even mix them together and I'd be happy.

By my calculations it will be over $500 per bottle by then. They're not going to give that to a condemed man. You'll be lucky to get VOB BiB.
