Kentucky Mule

You should be wearing my JW T-Shirt that I wore yesterday.
”Lookin’ back is a bad habit”

I was grousing about something and my wife piped up with Anse’s line, I just about fell on the floor!
“The Cowboys” is my favorite “late“ JW movies.

My favorite JW Cowboys line is “Slap some bacon on that biscuit and let’s go! We’re burnin’ daylight!”

(sorry if we hijacked the thread. I’ll stop now.)

The reason I like the 101 is it holds up to the dilution of the crushed ice and syrup.
I grabbed a bottle of regular WT by mistake last week, it’s perfectly good stuff, I just prefer the higher proof most of the time.

I agree. I noticed yesterday that I’m almost out, took care of that today. Always buy a 1.75L but today the 750’s were on sale, got 2!

Me too!!

I don’t ever seem to let them sit that long, once it’s cracked, I let it pour!

John Wayne in the Cowbows to Anse Peterson (Slim Pickens), IIRC. Please deliver my points via FedEx!

The bourbon isn't that great but we couldn't pass this one up

I’d better get out my silver julep cups and polish them!

I just polished up these. Got them in a Maker’s Mark gift set many years ago. They’re not a traditional silver julep cup but they’ll have to do.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Dan, Go look in the John Wayne quotes, those are what my cups are like. I had a dozen at one point I think I’m down to six now. I need to search for the other two before post time!

 

[DuaneMac]

Julep time!

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Damn skippy!
Must admit, that was one heck of a race!!!!
I didn’t shoot any of todays juleps, after the race it headed into feasting time and too hungry to take pictures.
Good for you Duane!
Apologies for mistaking you for Dan Hoo! My bad.

 

[GaryP]

Me too!!

Nice collection. I'm not sure what it says about me that I can identify a bunch of those bottles just by seeing the top.

Bumping for Derby day! Watching the ceremonies now. No Mint Julep this year but I am sipping some Elijah Craig!

 

[DuaneMac]

It’s Derby Day, time to bring out the silver cups! That year went fast… I need to go out and get some Bourbon!
It was our son and his wife’s birthdays on 5/1, they’re coming over today to celebrate. Picked up some NY steaks from Costco, they’re pretty thick, gonna do a reverse sear. Good excuse to bring out my new cast iron grate.
