A Very Very Dusty Whisky Monday Night with the SCWC

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?
