My dad had a bottle of Jack that was real old. I don't think it was as old as yours but he used to say that when Russia launched missiles against the US he was going to sit down say a bunch of Hail Mary's and drink the whole thing himself.
After he died, we found the bottle with about eight ounces left. I guess there must have been a false report about Armageddon...anyway we toasted him and killed it off. |
That's awesome! Dad was really close with Jimmy Bedford (6th Master Distiller if I'm not mistaken) so the distillery and many of those involved with it are close. When dad passed away the distillery crew showed up at the funeral and set a few people back in their seats. Most had no idea who they were but they looked liked a scene out of a western movie walking in wearing black leather coats and jeans. It was very surreal to see 2 Master Distillers walk through the doors to pay the old man respect. A very cool moment.
