Fellow whiskey drinkers -

Sad news from Las Vegas - I could not lay claim to the Pappy 23. Several folks gave me hints of where it may be, but it proved to be the white whale.

I did, however, spend some time with a nice lady barkeep at the Wynn who got me drinking that classic bourbon cocktail - The Manhattan. I had never really ventured into this territory, but I have to say, this is a nice twist especially with office parties right around the corner.

Classic: 2 oz bourbon or rye, 2 dash bitters, 1 oz Sweet Vermouth. Stir on ice, and strain into martini glass.

I prefer my drinks in low ball glass, and did deviate a bit by placing an ice ball in the drink. I used Eagle Rare and have to say, this was a great weeknight sipper.



Have a great Thanksgiving, mix yourself a great drink, and GO TO HELL OLE MISS!!!
