Favorite Beverage On Game Day

[T16]

Is it bad to sip bourbon on UT game day?

It's never a bad time to sip bourbon. That's the one thing our neighbors to the north get absolutely right. Give me a good bourbon over a great scotch any day.

My gameday is usually some combination of the following.

Beer: Sam Adams Octoberfest, or maybe something lighter if it's a hot day.
Mixed drink: Jack and Coke
Straight liquor: Maker's Mark

After a big win is when I'll break into a finer bourbon. Woodford Reserve usually, Pappy van Winkle if I can.

Whatever Sam Adams seasonal is available. And Jack.

Kentucky bourbon on a UT game day? Yes, that is bad. Gotta stick to Tennessee whiskey.

I was also a fan of Belle Meade until I learned that it comes from a liquor factory in Indiana and is not actually distilled by the company in Nashville. A lot of the small batch craft bourbons/spirits on the market all come from the same place in Lawrenceburg, IN. If its not distilled in Tennessee or Kentucky I'm not interested.

Very true. A lot of those are bought and then poured in their own barrels for a while and sold. I agree with your last sentence wholeheartedly.

I went overboard on that in college one night many years ago and can't even smell it without heaving now.

Southern's something of a deceiving byatch to be sure but it's been my go to forever. Jameson makes an appearance now and then. Gentleman Jack clobbered me a couple of times the same way and, while heresy to say in the Volunteer State, i avoid it.

Usually have Sam Oktoberfest outside the stadium or Kirin Ichiban if TV viewing.

Rum getting no love in the Volnation.

That actually sounds pretty good. I might try that, just will sub the Jack for George

It's called an earnhardt in this neck of the woods.

This stuff is great too. My favorite in Texas since there isnt Yuengling.

 

[Vols817]

Founders- Dirty Bastard Ale
Last couple of years after halftime it quickly shifts to a lot of jack and very little coke.

SoCo and Seagrams 7 are 100% no-go's for me. Horrible aching ribs experiences with each of them.

Ghost River when it's hot out.

Makers and water with a splash of Sprite when it cold.

Dip of Copenhagen Straight for added effect.
