National Congress of Old Whiskey Samplers

Sounds like a plan to me . Whiskey and Cigars . And most of all Good Friends . A GOOD TIME will be had by all . Oh and there won't be no need for a GOON squad , we are men who are there for a good time and NO TROUBLE . And no trouble will be tolerated .

[Tjackstephens]

Jeff, Sounds like Rowdy wants to do away with the brute squad. We may have to limit his samples. Tj 

[Texas Lawdog]

I will be standing by if need be called for a "Goon Squad".

[Cliff Fendley]

Hmmmmm....

I am at the Sleep Inn.  We will check to see what is available and make a decision then.  If the weather is nice the gazeebo sounds good. (Do the influence of the anti-smoking Nazis it figured that I might as well leave the cigars at home.  Now I have new hope.)

Books

Books, bring your cigars, I'll be bringing a couple, hopefully sometime over the weekend we can hide from the Gestapo somewhere long enough to enjoy one. Like I said if you can't smoke or drink bourbon in Kentucky something is wrong but that is the way the world is going.

I'm not a regular smoker but I see nothing wrong with a good cigar on special occasions.

YEP!

Broke down & purchased a 4th bottle.
So I will be bringing 3 Cedar Ridge Products: Iowa Bourbon, Dark Rum, & Unaged Whiskey.
& Bulleit Rye. It takes away some of my spending money, but can't think of what I need or want to buy at the convention.

If I don't get caught at the border trying to smuggle in an unopened flask of "Jim Beam" in a plastic bottle . . .

I will bring some seegars to share also.

Uhmmm! "Unaged Whiskey"? Isn't that the same thing as lighter fluid?

Sounds like I'd better do more sampling of other's offerings just so's I won't make them feel shunned . . . it's a burden, but it's a task I will gladly shoulder.

Looking forward to it. I will also bring a couple of prize giveaways to those whose efforts go down particularly smooth . . .

I do not drink, but I have a contrubition.  It's aged since January this year and 100 proof, a product the Eastern portion of the state is famous for.Celeste

Ima
Thank you , all the thirsty Cowboys will appreciate it .

[Rowdy Fulcher]

Cliff
Are you going to bring a cigar for me ?  Jeff said he would bring all the cigarettes I could smoke , what a lucky camper I am .

[Tjackstephens]

Rowdy, Think Jeff is pretty safe. The center is smoke free as is our motel room. Tj

Hi Brian

I'm also on a 1910 - 1950 type site, and that's back when Rye Whiskey was popular.  Try the Bullet with Vernor's Ginger ale and a couple dashes of Angostura bitters.  Good stuff.  For sippin' Rye, try the Sazerac, it's spicer. 

Later Y'all

Rowdy, I'm sure we can find an extra cigar somewhere for ya.

Yall are on your own this evening, I was hoping to make it down today but it looks like I won't be rolling in there until sometime in the morning.

I'm in for lunch now and still got to work this afternoon and we have a scout meeting this evening. Seems like when it rains it pours.

[Dusty Tagalon]

I town, will head over to the Steak House across the street from the Sleep Inn at 5:30. I am at the Country Inn & Suites.

I half suprized all 4 made it, going through St Louis & Illinois, had about a 1/2 dozen bumps so hard it turned my cruise control off.

Brian

[Tjackstephens]

Cliff, Rowdy and I will try and make the opening Thursday. Rowdy is working seconds tonight, digging that coal out. He'll be at my house sometimes around 8am and we will head out. See you tomorrow. Tj

[Dusty Tagalon]

Report from meeting, 1st let me apologize for missing the Thursday night gathering, never got any feedback for location of meeting. Friday's & Saturday's meetings went well. The most surprising, 3 attendee's brought Bulleit Rye, my bottle was the first uncorked, saw no reason to open any others. Planning for next year already, will bring Griff's Cowboy Whiskey, & Cedar Ridge unaged.

BTW, I did 1/2 of the Bourbon Trail on Saturday, of 7 Bourbons I sampled, I felt only 1 was better then the Iowa Bourbon I brought for sampling (18 year old Eliajh Craig,  Next year maybe someone will wish to accompany me when I complete the Bourbon Trail. I bought 3 bottles on the Bourbon Trail, 2 from Beam's (Knob Creek 9 year & Devils Cut, enjoyed them both. The 3rd, I sampled, but have';t cracked (Eilajh Craig 18 year).

Dusty
Had a Good time. I wish I had brought the Jim Beam Devils Cut instead of the Elijah Craig . Next year I will furnish the Devils Cut . Oh and I can't forget the Kesslers . 

[Sir Charles deMouton-Black]

I am glad the meeting(s) went well, and the whiskey went down well, as well!

I was there in spirit

[Captain Rob Page]

Rowdy,
That Elijah Craig was mighty fine! Had a good time visiting with folks and looking forward to next time!

[Dusty Tagalon]

Rowdy; Didn't know you had brought Elijah Craig to the tasting, however I did get to sample it at Haven Hills. I agree it is an excellent bourbon. I did buy a bottle. I will need to check the local sellers to see if it is available. It all depends on if Iowa imports it. The way Iowa works, is the state buys the alcohol, then sells to the distributors.

You certainly don't need my approval but I do appreciate your acknowledging that I am the founder.   I started it so I could introduce my NCOWS friends to Rye whiskey and to give a short tutorial regarding the history of rye.

Joanie has volunteered to act as bartender if desired.  You know how much she likes making Old Fashions
