Dave_in_Canada Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Last fall i was chatting with someone on this board about locating this book for them, I can't remember who it was?! If it was YOU, then I have a brand new copy... please remind me. If anyone else is interested in the book please send me a PM. I can get it to you for around $15-$20 depending on postage.

dhooch Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I have this book. In general, I have a lot of bar books and this one is pretty good. I am surprised that some folks on this forum don't seem to like the Regans. I often wondered... Is it because they speak with an accent or because they like S****h? I hope it's neither! On second thought, it could be the ratings that they assign to whiskies, in their book(s), may not be what some drinkers expect or agree with. Who know?!?

TNbourbon Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I have and like this book, too, and generally think the Regans provide a good starting point with their ratings. I think some may not like the fact they aren't 'exclusive' to bourbon with their liquor writings and, as a result, are sometimes prone to the type errors that not being immersed in bourbon history, lore, marketing and production prompts. But, then, who is, besides our own Chuck Cowdery or Mike Veach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I'll defend the Regans. They're friends of mine. And only Gary has the funny accent. Mardee is one of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhooch Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I stand corrected on the accents... I just assumed Gary's wife was a part of his background. The way he speaks, I knew he wasn't, originally, from Kentucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I think Mardee is from New York. At least I'm pretty sure that's where she and Gary met. Gary's background is as a bartender and bar manager in New York City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhooch Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Thanks. I knew about Gary, but, not his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
