Bourbon

Posted on 29. Jan, 2007 by John Roblinsky in Hunting Aides

The DC faction of the HC crew rolled to Bourbon, a bar in Adams Morgan, on Friday night to get rowdy and celebrate a successful first week of HuntingCougar posts.  Adams Morgan is not the best place in the DC area for tracking cougars, but is a great place to get rowdy and be assholes.  Yes, getting rowdy and being an asshole goes against most of the things we preach about here, but we’re in our 20’s and we like to have fun.

Cougars (the animal) are only found in the Americas so when I want to get ripped I grab the Nation’s official booze: bourbon.  And since we were in a bar called Bourbon, there was no shortage of this golden juice.  During the past year, Bulleit Bourbon has been my bourbon of choice.  It received the Gold Medal for top bourbon in 2004 at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and among the HC crew we find it to be one of the smoothest sippin’ whiskeys around—better than Woodford, Elijah Craig, Knob Creek, etc.  It’s a lot cheaper than those fancier ones AND it says Frontier Whiskey on the bottle making it appear to be manlier than it tastes—BONUS!

I have not received the full report from everyone who went out that night so I’m not sure if anyone was preyed upon, but to relate this post to the blog I’d like to share a crucial fact that you can take to your cougar hunts:

If you find yourself in the jaws of a saber-tooth cougar with no chance of escape, order a triple of Bulleits and pray for the best.  You might wake up with a splitting dome, but you won’t remember how you got all those bite marks.
