JCwhammie Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Rewatching The League. I got this closeup pic of the whiskey board at their hangout bar. This is season 3, so it should be 2011-2012. That's a bar I'd like to belly up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Ken Burns’ “JAZZ” (PBS 2001), Episode 6 - Swing: The Velocity of Celebration. Still pics of Kansas City circa 1937-1939. Features KC’s influence on small band music. Street shot shows a neon sign, blinking, “Bond & Lillard Whiskey”. edit - replay of course. I sure didn’t REMEMBER this from the first time I watched this. Coleman Hawkins and his sax are a big part of this episode.

parksmart Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Watched The Little Things on HBO Max. While the attention to detail for late 80s/early 90s decor and props was mostly admirable (film was set in 1990), they made a glaring goof with the liquor selection at the bar the villain was instructed to go to for a meeting with the police..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Knob Creek introduced 1992. Buffalo Trace Bourbon introduced 1999. I checked Wikipedia to make sure I had the correct dates. I'm pretty sure that JD bottle to the left is an anachronism too. It looks modern. I don't know enough about the Scotch or Japanese to comment.

I think that the Glenfiddich is the only thing up there that is period appropriate (release or bottle design). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Episode #2 of Ken Burns' documentary "Baseball" ... the section about Christy Mathewson circa 1904-1905.... there are at least three advertisement billboards in the background mentioning rye whiskey, including a very interesting one called "O.F.C. Rye". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Just finished The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix. Highly recommended. It takes place in Lexington in the 1960s and has a ton of drinking, but damnit no bourbon! What a waste, can you imagine the bourbon possibilities of a show in the heart of Kentucky in the early to late 60s. We see a bunch Pabst Blue Ribbon, a bunch of Gin Gibson’s, a little vodka in Moscow and pastis in Paris but no bourbon. The janitor has a few pulls of mystery whiskey from a flask but that’s as close as we get. We see people carrying bags full of liquor bottles from Lex Liquors in strollers but never get to see if they’ve got any Very Old Fitzgerald in there. Darn wasted opportunity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard good things about that show. Cannot believe it was set in Lexington in the '60's and that bourbon was not a major character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is based off a book from the same writer of The Hustler and the famous Paul Newman movie of the same name. Im sure it’s been posted here a bunch but it never gets old, “bourbon, JTS Brown, no glass, no ice.” Rarebird did a nice write up. https://rarebird101.com/2020/01/21/fast-eddie-no-ice-no-glass-2019/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been the beginning of the glut, when the public's tastes gravitated toward other things, or simply did not appeal to the story's characters. It could also be an anachronism or oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 My wife has been watching Jessica Jones on Netflix, while I mostly sit on. My couch and read my book on the early parts of the Pacific Theater in WWII. It’s one of those Marvel comics type shows where it’s supposed to be kind of gritty with an anti hero type superhero. Jessica is a real lush that likes her bourbon. I’ve seen bottles of WT101, OGD, MM, Ezra Brooks and who knows what else. At one point she goes to a liquor store and asks for cheap bourbon and I’m pretty sure it’s EW black label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently came across some great youtube videos explaining in great detail how the battles of Midway and Coral Sea went down. You might like them.

I believe it followed USS Enterprise throughout the Pacific War. Been awhile since I saw it; may have to revisit. Lot of repetition but worth a watch.

The book is, Pacific Crucible by Ian W. Toll, if interested. Some great details and reads well. The first part that gives a lot of backstory to Japanese empire and how we got to that point is a bit dry but really great information. Once you get pass that it’s very interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since I started on WWII when I was 10 years old it looks like I need to catch up with you all on the smoked meats. At least I have the bourbon part down! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I’m a WWII history buff too. My uncle was in the European campaign, but never wanted to talk about his experiences. My father was in the Pacific, but was transferred back stateside just before Pearl Harbor. Long and interesting story there. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
