Bulleit Bourbon

Today I was given an interesting assignment advertise for Bulleit Bourbon.  Being a brown liquor fan that I am(especially Bourbon), I figured that this is a good excuse to toss a few back.  I would do it anyways but when it comes to research I am very thorough in my investigations.

This Bourbon has a really interesting story, just waiting for someone to tell it.  It all started back in the 1830's when a tavern keeper in Kentucky named Augustus Bulleit set out to create a unique flavor of Bourbon.  While transporting barrels of his bourbon from Kentucky to New Orleans in 1859, Augustus vanished.  He could have been robbed, killed, or even abducted by aliens, who knows, no one ever heard from him again.  No one in the family picked up his torch to continue making the family bourbon.  The recipe sat and sat waiting for the day that it could see light again.  

In 1987 Augustus' great great grandson stepped in to revive the recipe.  Tom Bulleit gave up being a lawyer to continued the almost forgotten family tradition.  

As for the taste, I don't know yet, I still need to try it.  But to me it is a interesting story non the less.  I give Tom a lot of credit to pursue his dreams, it shows that the American dream isn't dead.

I hope to have another post rating it by the end of the week.

Another entertaining game

The game last night was unbelievable.  It was exactly how a superbowl should be.  Very entertaining and action pact.  It went right down the the wire.  I had told a friend "The Cards by three," at the very beginning of the game.  

The first quarter I thought the Steelers might blow out the Cards.  I thought the cards may have reverted back to the way they where before the playoffs began.  But they turned it around in the second quarter.  The started playing like the team of the playoffs.  Everything clicked for them in the second quarter until that last 16 seconds when the beast Harrison intercepted the ball that was thrown right to him and marched down the field for the touchdown.  That was an amazing play.  I thought one of his own players was going to knock him over for a while but he kept marching down and no one could stop him.

In the forth quarter with the Cards made a late charge, Forcing a fumble and finally getting the ball to there play maker Fitzgerald.  I think he caught six of his seven catches in the last quarter.  He finally got the ball and he showed why he had been the best playmaker of the playoffs.  But his heroics where not enough.  The Steelers also had a player wearing a cape that day, Holmes.  He was the only reason why the Steelers won.  He was the best player on the field yesterday by far.  He was the one who moved the Steelers up the field.  His last catch that put the Steelers over the top is something young receivers will dream of doing for years. 

Thanks to all the players of the Steelers and Cardinals for providing America with a great game
