Last night, I attended Southern California Whiskey Club's pre-1964 Whisk(e)y Tasting at Seven Grand. I took a lot of photos because, seriously, when is this ever going to happen again?
I sort of have my hands full today, so I'll let the pics do most of the talking.
| Chris, the host with the most. |
| Michael R., also the host with the most. Also loving life. |
| So much potential... |
| The full lineup, a little blurry. Let's look closer. |
| #1. Old Sunny Brook 4 year old Bourbon 93 proof Distilled 1937 - Bottled in 1941 |
| #2. Old Hillsboro Brand Bourbon 100 proof Distilled 1937 - Bottled in 1942 |
| #3. G.R. Sharpe Old Style Whiskey 100 proof Distilled 1913 - Bottled in 1917 |
| #4. Old Forester Bourbon 100 proof Distilled 1952 - Bottled in 1957 |
| #5. Ballantine's 30 year old Blended Scotch Whisky 86 proof Distilled in the late 1920s to early 1930s Bottled between 1954 - 1964 |
| #6. Ambassador 25 year old Blended Scotch Whisky 86 proof Distilled in the 1920s Bottled late 1940s to early 1950s |
Later this week, I'll talk about each of these six. In the meantime, I will leave you to ponder the Old Forester bottle. Could it double as a lava lamp? A sex toy? Or a rocket?
Or a lava rocket sex toy?
