Recently, while at work, discussing Bourbon of course, one of my co-workers suggested, “Hey man, we should start a Bourbon blog.”
“Why in the hell would we want to do that?” My standard response. It sounded too much like work to me, and quite frankly I have enough of that to do. “What’s in it for me?” I thought it a reasonable question.
“If we are good at it, then hopefully free Bourbon.”
So now we are Bourbon Bloggers.
What? You are expecting some elaborate story about how Bourbon changed our lives and we wanted to share that rich emotion with the rest of the world for the betterment of Bourbon enjoyment? You been watching too much Hallmark Channel, now get off my damn blog site.
Back to the free Bourbon. I figure the only way that shit is going to happen is if I assemble a “team” of elite Bourbon drinkers. I figure most of you want more than one asshole’s opinion of a bottle of Bourbon, especially if you are going to drop more than $15 on the bottle. If you are not going to drop more than $15 on the bottle, let’s face it, you really don’t give a f**k what I have to say any way, so just go crack that baby open and get shit-faced already.
The rest of you, however, are hopefully as tired as I am of trying to sift through all of the blogs and social media accounts out there to find somebody who thinks like you do about the precious brown water. So take a second and meet our Barrelheads. I’m betting there are at least one or two of perspectives that are similar to your own, and a couple of more who may teach you something new or just quite frankly piss you off. Either way, we are glad you are hear.
We’ll be reviewing some bottles regularly, some you’ve heard of, many you haven’t. Hell, what else is there to do with the COVID all around us. May as well drink something. We we wake up from our drunken stupor, we’ll share with you what we remember.
If you like what you find here, great! Subscribe so it can inflate our stats and make us look like we are influencers or something. I here that is how you get all the free shit. Don’t like us? Well that is okay, too. Let us part ways with a toast taught to me by a friend of mine many, many years ago (raise your glass):
“Here’s to you and here’s to me,
But if every we should disagree,
Here’s to me. F*ck you.”
Don’t forget to follow us on all of that social media shit. I’m still waiting on the free Bourbon.
