Recommended Posts

Not a movie but the girlfriend is really into NCIS so I bought her the first ten seasons and have been watching a few episodes with her BECAUSE I love her...anywaythere are quite a few refferences to one of the main characters drinking WTRB, one episode in particluar has someone calling it rotgut while they drink a well aged scotch, almost switched off at that point but, yeh, gotta stick with it

That program promotes Bourbon as a sub theme without stressing any particular brand. In one of the early segments the principal character has a bottle of Ten High in his desk drawer. Of course that was back when TH was still a Bourbon and not a blend.

The first three seasons seem to stress WTRB as regular fixture at his home bar/basement/boat workshop.Within the context of this environment the distinctive bottle has popped up at least half a dozen or so times, maybe this changes in later seasons I dont know.

Yes, Rare Breed seems to be the house (basement?) Bourbon yet it's referred to as being "126 proof" so I always presumed the writers were describing Bookers but the RB bottle was a more distinctive visual aid.

This past weeks Justified, the head guy's got some blantons on his desk.

"Art" has had that Blanton's in or on his desk for all 5 years now of the show. Also saw MM displayed prominently in the first week.

Saw the movie "The Internship" today. Pappy shows up in the first 5 min of the film, and again in the last min. Expect new traffic here of folks trying to find it. I am a huge bourbon fan, but nothing is worth this type of hype.

You're welcome for the alliteration in the title.

On last night's episode of "Justified" (as I was enjoying some Eagle Rare), Boyd Crowder ordered "Four Fingers of Elmer T Lee", and Chief Deputy Marshall Art Mullen finally freed the bottle of Pappy he mentioned a couple of years ago from his desk drawer.

Technically, he didn't say "Lee". ;)

Anyone else find it odd that he ordered 4 fingers, got barely 2... then spouted how most places are too cheap to give you a real double pour?

He DID just say "...Elmer TEE...". I stand corrected. :grin:

There were some cases being moved around at one point as well. might have been 4Roses.

Watched a movie called sinister the other day,and the guy is drinking BT, never saw that stuff in a movie before, it took awhile for them to show the label ,but I told the wife right away that's Bt, can't mistake that bottle.

Came in here to post that Eskwar, nice work.

I think that scene was supposed to be in the late 90s. Would that have still been on the shelf?

Watching Big Bang rerun, Leonard, Howard, and Raj at a bar, bottle of Blanton's displayed prominently on the bar.

Thanks, suntour. My memory is a little foggy, but I think that scene might've been set after they jumped to ~'02, making that bottle perhaps even less likely (although I found one last year, so maybe Rust is a dusty hunter, too).

Good thing I kept that episode on the dvr -- I'd better watch it again. Slowly. : D
