Before I discovered rye I would stop by this gigantic warehouse of boozin' on my walk home from The University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. They had it all. I'd go for Elijah Craig, Basil Hayden or Knobb Creek. Vermouth was always the cheap stuff until my wife got me a bottle of Dolin for anniversary cocktails one year. After that I discovered rye and Vya sweet and dry for martinis.

Never understood, or really cared to, the "allocation" and lottery b.s., just more rich people ruining the finer things with their unlimited cash. I'm fine with my middlin' choices. I'll splurge occasionally, and have been known to buy a pricey bottle of Grand Cru Champagne, no, not that one, I'll leave that to the poseurs. There are some superb choices out there for way less than that kind of money.

Enjoy your spirits tonight gentleman.
