Now my thing with whiskey is that some of my favorites of all time never cost more than 50 bucks. This bottle here is just as good as a 200 dollar bottle and can be routinely found on sale for 40. #whiskey

Now, this bottle retailed for 65. It was handpicked by the first Black chemist for brown-forman, Elmer Lucille Allen. She's 94 now, sharp as a whip. I will never opened my signed bottle. It'll be a collectors item. #whiskey

This isn't a traditional whiskey. It's not bourbon, it's something else and you'll never find it again. I could sell this for 1000. I got it in Kentucky with the other stuff. #whiskey

Here is my #2 whiskey of the year. I am not even supposed to have a bottle because I'm a journalist but not an ambassador. Retails for 185. Secondary market, 500 and up. #whiskey

I tapped this bottle myself. It retails in the store for 160. I could easily sell it on the market despite my handwriting all over it for 500. #whiskey

This is the $900 bottle. I'm reviewing it for work and it's my top whiskey this year. #whiskey

I copped this bottle of whiskey for 100 large. I can sell this bottle to a "tater" aka high end whiskey hoarder for two grand. #whiskey

I love this pic because I can see my late mother's smile clearly in it. I never thought I looked much like her until this photo.

Taking one of these because I haven't slept well in weeks. Everything feels...well, no need to repeat that.

Everyone's different but the key to a perfect Gin & Tonic is a chilled bottle of tonic water, a chilled highball glass, good ice, & proper garnish. Also, the perfect ratio is 2 oz gin, 4 oz of tonic. Your gin should be navy strength or above 90 proof otherwise it's a waste. #gin #cocktail

This bottle retails for $899.00 #whiskey #bourbon

Good morning. Rough five minute commute to the couch with a stop at the local coffee shop.

If you enjoy Old Fashioned cocktails, I suggest the Apple Butter Old Fashioned at Maker's Mark Homebar in Kentucky. #bourbon #whiskey #kentucky

This is a Crusta, a classic New Orleans cocktail typically made with cognac. This uses bourbon. It's so bright and delicious. David Wondrich, a legend in my industry, helped create this. #cocktail #bourbon

This is one of the best old fashioned riffs I've ever had. #cocktail #bourbon
