Luckily I live 20 minutes from there and able to drop in and buy the days offering from the gift shop. Could be Eagle Rare, Weller or Colonel Taylor. All good and hard to find at any retail store. Woodford Reserve is about 10 minutes away and my favorite.

I like to buy the best tequila I can find in a plastic bottle, that leaves me enough $ for a 30 pack of Keystones! Life is good here on the Frontera!

I'm not sure my experiences are noteworthy but....when I imbibe the cheaper stuff (i.e., the rotgut) I seem to pay a higher price the next day, so accordingly I've gotten fairly selective about what and when I'll indulge that particular vice anymore. The lost time simply isn't worth it to me. The better stuff (& that includes wine) seems to take less of a toll. It's rare that I get to completely skate-by anymore, but some clearly do less damage. And, of course, that's a trial & error process.

I can completely "skate by" with Ezra Brooks, or Evan Williams. Anything cheaper ........ I don't try. I can tell no difference in how I feel the next day with E.B. compared with Weller, Jefferson's Ocean, Buffalo Trace or Pappy. But then, moderation is key to it all.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

My 95 year old, when he passed, hunting and gun collecting buddy was an Ezra guy, so I buy Ezra in memory of my old buddy. To save a buck or two, I buy Evan Black because the label is similar to Ezra and both are still 86. I was in the liquor business when Jack Daniel went from 90 to 86. I bought an insane number of cases of 90 at the end. I had 90 for months when no one else had any. Customers came from all over to shop for 90 proof Jack. I didn't keep it on the shelf, but they knew to ask for it.

I’ve fooled a lot of people over the years with self proclaimed refined palettes and high end liquor taste with a few fingers of Ezra. I love the look on their faces when they get done exulting on this mystery liquids fine points (you know, the really wordy, flowery talk some folks like to use when they’re describing the hints of this and that…), they ask what is this…..and I then drop it’s a $12 bottle of Ezra Brooks😂😂
