I plan on trying this new bourbon as soon as I can get my grubby hands on it. Hopefully, Kats Wine Cellar will carry it soon, as it is my favorite place to get new bourbons.
Ah, Wild Turkey. We’ve had some great drunken times with this classic bourbon, and now its makers are celebrating its tradition with Wild Turkey American Spirit ($TBD). Produced in extremely limited quantities as a super-premium bourbon, the 100-proof, 15-year-old hooch will come in a great-looking unique bottle, complete with strip stamp seal and commemorative box. Cheers. [Thanks, Doug]

Had a few glasses of Jefferson’s very small batch bourbon New Years Eve. Great bourbon! Light vanilla flavor, smooth, and a very clean finish. Five Stars!

Several friends and I have decided to collaborate on a new blog dedicated to the enjoyment of fine libations. Meanwhile, here’s a recipe for Bourbon Slushies (one of the domains for this blog!):
Aunt Weasie’s Bourbon Slushies
2 cups boiling water
4 tea bags
2 cups sugar
Combine and let steep a bit, then take out tea bags and add
12 oz. frozen OJ concentrate
6 oz. frozen lemonade
2 cups bourbon
7 cups water
Put in a large plastic container and freeze overnight. Remember that it will expand a little, make sure it has room to do so. Also remember that if you are using an insulated drink container, make sure to take the lid OFF before you put it in the freezer. otherwise you will be insulating your drink from the cold of the freezer (not that I have ever done this).
Hint: when I’m drinking them straight out of the freezer, I sometimes use one cup less water to make them stronger and slushier (otherwise you sometimes have to let them thaw a little). For taking them somewhere, though, I’d definitely do the full dilution, they’ll freeze better.
