Did you know that a ball of glass will bounce higher than a ball of rubber (if it doesn’t break on impact that is)? It sounds like total bullsh#t but it isn’t. That random fact, one hundred percent blew my mind. I really heard it and thought, well, that’s malarkey! In today’s world of “I […]
Heaven Hill puts out some great products, also a few that aren’t so great (…like Mellow Corn), but there’s some real jewels in their overall lineup like Old Fitzgerald, Parkers Heritage and Elijah Craig to name but a few.

If you’re like me, you probably don’t always make the healthiest choices and may have some bad habits associated with eating or snacking or drinking or perhaps even the trifecta! We all have had that late night where we’ve knocked back maybe a couple too many and Ubered through the Taco Bell drive thru. It […]
Do you ever find yourself standing in the aisle of the liquor store looking at the ever-expanding bourbon selection and wandering if the bottle you’re passing up could be the next Pappy? Well, truth be told there is really only ever going to be one Pappy, but there sure are a lot of good choices […]
As a Bourboneur, my goal is to load my garage bar with as much great brownwater as possible and systematically drink every last bottle with my friends and neighbors, then buy more bourbon, and do it all over again.
