I very recently discovered Ben Milam [bourbon] whiskey which is made in Blanco, TX and is darn good. A friend from VA got a bottle as a gift and liked it so much he immediately asked me to get him a couple more bottles. They do not sell it outside of TX right now. Too small I suppose. I went directly to their small distillery on th edge of town and got the tour and was worth every penny and such great people. If youre a bourbon drinker and find yourself in the great state of Texas, it can be found at many of the usual liquor stores.

The Pappy Van Winkle cult status is all about status IMO. I just threw my empty bottle in the recycling bin. Oh well, somebody missed out on defrauding a friend or customer..
