kjbeggs Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Apparently they showed the J.R. Ewing Bourbon during an episode of the new "Dallas" series a few days ago, which kicked off flurries of Facebook hunters trying to find it.i saw one guy offering it for $100 a bottle, and claiming it was a Texas exclusive" (which I believe is untrue, I think it's in 7 states), and that all stores in the DFW area were sold out (which I know is an outright lie, I've seen multiple bottles on the shelf for around $25 at several stores).

JPBoston Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Just watched The Color of Money for the first time in well over a decade. Forgot that Fast Eddie is a traveling bourbon salesman... And pushes his customers to buy his cheap brand and "slip it in" more premium bottles like Old Grand Dad or Wild Turkey. He even offers to print up fake labels. Awesome.

tanstaafl2 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Post on Facebook this is the crap that actually killed JR.Absolutely not! We need to encourage this fascination with the delightful JR Ewing bourbon. Hopefully the little gnats will focus on that and leave other things alone.

Hopefully the little gnats will focus on that and leave other things alone.I agree. The question of "who shot J.R.?" was related to who shot him for drinking all the good stuff with his name on it.

mbroo5880i Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Not a movie but my wife watches "Royal Pains" on USA. One of the characters, Paige, was frustrated about losing her job so she got drunk on Pappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantome Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I agree. The question of "who shot J.R.?" was related to who shot him for drinking all the good stuff with his name on it.I don't think J.R. would even drink the 80 proof J.R. Ewing bourbon. He would have one awesome bunker for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I don't think J.R. would even drink the 80 proof J.R. Ewing bourbon. He would have one awesome bunker for himself.It would probably be mostly blended Scotch back in the late 70's and 80's when Dallas first came on!

tanstaafl2 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 J.R. always ordered a "bourbon and branch" when he was out cheating on Sue Ellen, which was often.Well, J.R. was always a little ahead of his time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskeyagonzo Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 In the most recent episode of The Big Bang Theory, you can see an older bottle of Four Roses sitting on the shelf under the bar, right after Penny and Will Wheaton get fired from their killer ape movie. Possibly the last show I would have expected to recognize a bourbon label in.I think in the episode where Walowitz is wrestling with whether or not read a letter his father wrote, the gang has a party at Leonard and Sheldon's place. I think I recall a bottle of Blanton's, possibly others but it happened kind of fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Santana Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 TCM is running a bunch of James Garner movies. In "The Americanization of Emily" he's a "dog-robber", basically a gofer who makes sure an admiral has good food, booze, female companionship, etc. Early on he's in a room with all sorts of goods, including at least 3 cases of Jim Beam. Oh yeah, a young Julie Andrews seems a bit horny so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldugsjr1986 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Haven't read this whole thread so maybe it's mentioned, but in House of Cards on Netflix, Kevin Spacey's character is a fan if Blanton's. Also in Breaking Bad, Hank is a fan of Knob Creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Watching the season finale of Longmire and behind the bar of the Red Pony, though a bit blurry, is clearly some Jim Beam White. On the bar being poured, Wyoming Whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleCBreese Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Moved on to Season 2 of Deadwood and Basil Hayden's has made an appearance. It looks to be a brown paper-type label with the name Basil Hayden's in script across the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskwar Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Not a movie, but on tonight's cinematic The Bridge, we've got questionably-priced Bulleit and others... ...at a Texas gas station (we should be so lucky)... Enjoyable show, nonetheless. Edited September 11, 2014 by Eskwar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Not a bourbon, but --TCM is showing 'The Apartment' (1960). Lord Calvert is featured in the bar Jack Lemmon goes to after he finds out Shirley McLain is seeing Fred MacMurray. LC was an American Blend in the 1950s then a Canadian when the US version became Calvert Reserve. Search SB for <Lord Calvert> for details.
