I was in the right spot/right time with some unallocated money after I quit smoking about 25 years ago +/-. Quit smoking about the time that Pappy Van Winkle passed away and his son or grandson released a whole bunch of really old bourbon the old man had set aside to 'mellow'. I had money that didn't have to pay bills briefly and got some 12 year old and some 18 year old Pappy, and I keep it hidden away to celebrate with. It's just a 'high wheat' recipe bourbon, smooth, that's been aged in oak a long, long time. It's smoother than my ex-wifes backside - that's saying something. When the Chiefs win the superbowl, out comes that bottle of 18 year old Pappy for a shot or 2. But it don't come out for just winning over the Oakland faders, it's superbowl whiskey. If we beat the fade, out comes the 'Ten High'. Oh, we'll drink it. But the fade don't deserve the really good whusk.
