Blanton’s Single Barrel
It doesn’t appear to be significantly aged, but Blanton’s boasts that “the finest bourbon in the world comes from a single barrel.” Great. All my wife cares about is that Blanton’s cork/bottle top is a metal horsey. Yes, this is another bottle chosen by Patti based on looks. It’s a selection process that has been successful in the past, so why mess with a good thing? Plus, this was the last bottle of Blanton’s on the shelf, and I was afraid that this would be my last chance to experience the best that Rick #39 had to offer (see notes below).
The bottle looks a bit like a large grenade. It’s round and octagonal. The metal horsey would make an excellent Monopoly piece.

Irish Whiskey Bundt Cake
Nothing says holiday like the aroma of a warm cake and family members drinking Irish Whiskey, so why not marry the two? I am dying to try out this recipe for Irish Whiskey Bundt Cake for my own glutton-fest this year, and thought you might like to drool over it as well. Cheers!

Scotch Pad
For the techno-savvy connoisseur, Scotch Pad is an iPhone application (or app) that helps you keep track of the different whiskeys that you’ve tried. You can record the whiskey name, description, price, proof, age, color, nose, body, plate, finish and your personal comments. You can even rate the whiskeys and take a picture of the bottle for future reference.
I personally don’t own an iPhone, so I’m stuck with my handwritten notes. Digital formats aren’t for posterity, in my opinion, but I look forward to changing my opinion if someone gives me a free iPhone and Scotch Pad app.

Whiskey Label Site
Whiskey Label is an interesting site if you like looking at old timey whiskey labels. I do.
I like to pretend that it’s the 1940’s and I’m reading the latest Life Magazine on the trolley home from work. When I see a label ad for White & Black Scotch, I shout, “Conductor, let me off at the next stop! I’ve got a bottle to catch!”

Parents Drunk With Anger Over Bourbon Chips
Australian News reports that Jim Beam is producing bourbon-flavored potato chips. Sounds good, right? Well not if you’re a parent. Despite the fact that they contain zero alcohol, the chips were being sold in a grocery store where children have access to them. Activists say that they send a dangerous message to young consumers.
A Jim Beam spokesman said the chips were targeted at adults and “predominantly” sold in liquor stores. The grocery store in question was unaware the product was meant for licensed premises and has since pulled the chips off of the shelf.
I’m very sorry, kids. You would have looked so sophisticated with those chips in hand and a pack of candy cigarettes in the other.

Eagle Rare Single Barrel
I bought a bottle of Eagle Rare, just because. Scott bought the exact same bottle and brought it to our cabin. I guess now would be a good time to mention that I’m at a cabin. It’s part birthday weekend, and part we-just-wanted-to-go-to-a-cabin. I’ll be 33 on Monday so I’ll probably be hungover on Tuesday. Ah, good future times.

Drunk Pets, Vol. III
Whiskey Journal does not condone feeding alcohol to a pet. But it does go apeshit when a pet and bottle of booze are staged into a photo opportunity. So pour yourself a spirit and get ready to go Aww, he’s all grown up!

Many more drunk pets after the jump…

Shot In The Eye
These videos are nowhere near as harmful as Flaming Shots, but they are just as idiotic. Apparently the latest trend in whiskey consumption is to pour a shot into your eye socket.
