Today I opened a bottle of Jack Daniel's that is supposedly worth $400. to $3,000. except I couldn't

find anyone that wanted to buy it. I bought it about 15 years ago in Lynchburg for around $50.00.



No big whoop! I actually prefer regular Jack more!

when my husband and my son did. It's no fun to drink alone.

But now my son has a new girlfriend, and she drinks, and I have *two* bottles of Veuve Cliquot chilling in the refrigerator for tomorrow. I am looking forward to this like nobody's business.

If I am disappointed there will be hell to pay around here.

I began to experiment with whiskies and good Single Malt Scotch. Does your JD taste of oak and caramel?

Or you could have a George Thorogood tonight.

Buy:
A $33 bottle of Bourbon. Total Wine has Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon 1-liter bottle for $32.99.
A $33 bottle of Scotch. Total Wine has The Glenlivet 12 Year Scotch 750ml for $31.99. We'll call that close enough.
Spend the rest of the money on beer.

..then you can tell that story, enjoy real good Scotch, not feel any guilt and appreciate your company a little more. (OK, not the last one so much.)

Sealed, full of Jim Beam
I don't know how old it is, or what would happen if I drank it

I think our daughter got it for her Dad for Christmas one year.

I strained mine through a tea ball into a decanter. If it’s not discolored, cloudy, or smells off it should be okay.
