What are we drinking tonight?

Dude, me and you might could have a damn good time with bluegrass.....and some good bourbon. I'm a fan of all music from Hank Williams to Slipknot, but my love of music came from my Pops and his bluegrass roots. He had 6 brothers and sisters and all of them played instruments. When I was a kid, Saturday nights were a family gathering of bluegrass music filled fun. Hell, I was singing bluegrass songs on the mike when I was 10.

Me and the missus are celebrating our 40th anniversary all weekend. Starting with the best bottle of champagne we’ve ever had. It’s like drinking velvet.View attachment 7823

When I got out of the Corps, one of my buddies bought me a bottle of Dom Perignon as a parting gift. I popped the top on the doorstep at my parent's house. Threw the top away and drank that nasty shit straight outta the bottle. Then I went to the store and bought some cheap beer so I could get that nasty taste out of my mouth.
 
Whelp, I went to the ABC Store and found them out of my usual... 1792.. so I was looking around and found a bottle called Clyde May's "Alabama style Whiskey".. I bought it..
took a shot neat, then fixed a drink.. It is smooth and good,, not harsh at all..
I thought about this thread and wanted to post so I did a quick google search and found out that the only thing Alabama about Clyde Mays bourbon is the name,, its actually distilled in Kentucky and the author of one article surmises that it is rebranded Heaven Hill..
I love my Kentucky brothers and I love the whiskey that flows from those mountains,, not to mention that great blue grass they grow :).. but I thought that there might be a bourbon from Alabama that I could take some pride in,,
Turns out that Clyde May was a old time moonshiner that lasted a while and earned some measure of respect.. from Alabama,, but this bourbon that bears his name has nothing to do with him,, Ive been cheated.. Im gonna finish this damn bottle and go find me some heaven hill cause I do like it,, I just hate getting duped.
