That's pretty messed up for people who cannot drink malt beverages and are expecting whiskey!

Harvey’s Wineburger has an absurd bourbon selection for a dive. Eagle rare 10 for 8 bucks a pour and they pour pretty stiff.

I used to frequent South Lake Tahoe. Reno and Tahoe both have such laid back vibes. I miss them.

Also, it's an acquired taste, but Picon Punches are a Basque treat to me!

Founded in 1885, the Genoa Bar has entertained many famous politicians, actors, and writers over the years including, among the most recognizable names, Johnny Cash and Mark Twain. The large original room hosts the original high bar that extends the length of the space. Old paintings, photographs, and spider web-covered animal antlers dot the walls.

Picon Punch has been likened to aviation fuel by Assemblyman Horne, an “honorary Basque,” who in 2013 attempted to pass a bill to make Picon Punch the Nevada state drink.

They are supposed to be super potent. IDK that. So when we first moved to NV, friends of my wife tried to get me plastered by ordering them all night for me. They were disappointed when I showed up for my kids soccer game the next day. Then they told me they that one is supposed to get you drunk. I got hooked on them right from the start. There's two people on those drinks, ones that do drink them, and those that hate them. There's no middle ground.

I'd be skeptical of that one. It's marketed like a mixed drink and, given the price point, I'd suspect that the ingredients are of middling quality.

Had some friends over to celebrate my birthday a few weeks early. My wife did a cowboy themed tasting to celebrate the Cardinals big win over the Cowgirls.

So my friend who works for the Cardinals gave me a bottle of Frank August Bourbon for my birthday. We cracked it open last night and it's very good! It's kind of a mystery as no one is sure what distillery produces it.

One of my friends who spends a ton of time over in Japan for work gave me a Red Japanese Blantons bottle for my birthday. Probably my favorite of the Blantons. I even prefer it over the Gold Blantons. Super hard to find.

That's a good friend right thar.

Loving this one right now. Each sip lasts about a week…. sooooo good.

I'm getting into bourbon but I've learned I really don't like rye whisky. It always tastes like a musty haystack to me.

The bartender at The Melting Pot suggested a Sagamore Rye with an OF the other night and it was delicious. I looked for it at Total Wine the other day and they were out, but I'll try and find it and report back on if it stands on its own.

Love Bookers! A friend just gave me a bottle for my B-Day.

My wife is a Grand Reserve member at Total Wine and they had a special release event that we went to. She scored the following bottle from High West called The Prisoners Share. It’s a very limited release bottle that is aged in Cab Sauv wine barrels from The Prisoner. Fantastic!

Wow. That looks and sounds amazing.
