    So what's "really special"? My son-in-law, who is a bourbon fanatic recommends Weller. I've never seen it in the liquor stores so I'm guessing they hide it from us "ordinary people".

    Kathy and I just bought Amtrak tickets to Harper's Ferry were we'll start our LASH of the southern half of the AT. We also reserved a room at the motel for that first night as we didn't want to start walking as late as the train gets in at 5:16. So…

    Whenever I have bourbon-drinking guests over, I'll offer a pour of Blanton's with the caveat that it's a very good $66 (retail) bourbon. Then I offer something that is truly special so they have a frame of reference.

    Quote from IMScotty: “A week in the Whites. This one will not end well. boston.com/news/local-news/202…e-man/?p1=hp_featurestack ” As predicted. A bit of a mystery but sounds like a river crossing that ended badly.
