Blanton's Old Fashioned

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Ever since Nine Inch Nails The Perfect Drug I've had a thing for absinthe. IIRC it used to be completely illegal in the US, now it looks like you can buy it.

Friday night might be a fun shopping and drinks at her place night with my old fashioned date.

My nephew had some absinthe. I can't imagine he would have been able to lay his hands on it if it were illegal.

I don't like the distilled stuff with food as much as wine. Apertif maybe, but not with the meal

Shaun, you need to explore Sazerac's with really good rye. Trust me.

Screw the Old Fashioned, Order a Sazerac Instead

I first tried a Sazerac in New Orleans a few years back. It is worth your spending spree!

Here’s the Blantons you should be after:

I got one of these horse/cork barrel spar displays at the eagle trace distillery several years ago when blanton's was pretty easy to find around here. Mine is half empty since I rarely see it for sale anymore.
