Bourbon Summit Spoof on SNL

[WhiskyRI]

Happened to be up last night after watching my Mizzou Tigers squeak by the Aggies and watched SNL for the first time in ages. There was a spoof of President Obama and Sen McConnell having a bourbon summit - the bourbon on the table was Woodford Reserve and they went through a bottle and 1/2 half. Keeping politics out of this discussion, what Bourbon do you think should be served at the Bourbon Summit?

My vote for a readily available Bourbon with a "statesman like gravitas" is 4 Roses Single Barrel although there is also something to be said for something like Old Forester Signature - or maybe even the new OF 1870. I'd hate for the politicians to feed the frenzy further by choosing a Pappy or a BTAC.

I saw that last night and thought it was great.

To answer your question, I think they both deserve to drain a bottle and a half of Cleveland Bourbon.

Obama is a beer drinker, so it would be funny to give him a neat 2014 WLW at 140.2 ABV. If he gave a cringe-worthy pucker faced reaction on camera, maybe people would see that and not be so jazzed to get their hands on a bottle because they read about it in a magazine.

Hmmmm, good point. Who can we get to arrange this?

Chuck posed this same question the other day. Interesting thing to ponder.

I never would of thought the president to have a Woodford Way about him.

McConnell said it would be like choosing your favorite child.

For some reason I just can't trust Obama with a choice, probably would ask for Crown or JD.

Blowhard sounds appropriate...

That's for after they get elected.

"Jeffersons Presidential Select"

Somebody had to post it.

I remember back in 2008, the Presidential Select game forth through Greek columns riding a tidal wave of support, but over the next 6 years he turned out to be an Old Blowhard and nowadays seems to be a Lost Prophet who must drink bourbon with republicans. So sad.

Any NDP would do. The similarities between the lack of transparency of the president's office and these bourbons seems suitable.

I vote Jefferson Ocean.

Toss them both on a raft, then we can send someone out to check them for improvements every year or so.

My favorite reply to Chuck's article was "Larceny". No explanation needed.
