smokinjoe Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 That never gets old. I do remember that one, but didn't get the reference. That's some funny schtuff. Well done. Reminds me of those SNL skits with Farrell doing Trebek, and Hammonds playing Sean Connery. The one with Sharon Osborne may be the funniest 6 minutes in television.

doubleblank Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Joe, it is a practice which is surely strongly influenced by the climates of the distilling States - mainly Kentucky but Ed Foote worked in Indiana for a time and it can be devilish hot there too.Also, these gents are (mostly) of a certain age and in their youth, A/C was not invariable. Apart from all this, all distilleries are hot steamy places. This is why IMO the trait you identified is typical. This is why I believe Randy B drinks his bourbon the same way - Texas is still hot A/C or no A/C, right Randy? Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Indeed I have learned this Randy, the hard way. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restaurant man Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Well according to the Regan's book, all of these guys drink their whiskey "on the rocks", and some will add water. Only Jimmy Russell responded that he drink his "neat, OR on the rocks". Considering the lengths that I read some folks here go in preparation of drinking their whiskey, I was mildly amused at the simplistic, and, I guess according to many presumptuous "armchair experts", the non-"connoisseurish" way in which they enjoy the fruits of their own creations. Damn! I can't believe ive been doing it wrong all these years! :smiley_acbt:I have been wasting all that whiskey by drinking it neat. Now i just have to figure out how to cram those cubes into my Glencairn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
