I concur! This one was brined for 8 days and served up on Stupor Bowl Sunday. It's a pastrami brine and the color comes from pink curing salt.

THe Keepers Heart is a PX Sherry finish from Ace Spirits near Minneapolis. If you like Sherry finished spirits, it's a good one as well.

If you are in Eastern Iowa, southern Wisconsin, or western Illinois, cruise through Galena, Illinois and stop at Blaum Bros. Distillery. These 2 brothers started it about 10 years ago and are making some real tasty hooch. They are a lot of fun as well if you get to meet them.

They had a distillery in the back. For years I bought a few different spirits from them.

I have never found a mix for bourbon. I just enjoy it straight. I do like gin and tonic.

A couple years ago while driving up to Michigan for the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise. We spent the night in Louisville Ky. There's a Jim Beam Urban Distillery there that has all sorts of small batch bourbon. they even let you bottle a bottler for yourself. Yummy stuff.

Yep, Beam/Suntory is pretty big. Bookers, Makers Mark, and Knob Creek are some of their "better brands"
