Metallica's sonic Rye, Mini Livers, 'Tenders Delight, Myth & Union Busting

This week, 11 myths about bourbon that if you don't know, you should. Take for instance "all bourbon must be made in Kentucky" by now, this myth should be put away - yet it endures. Bourbon can be made anywhere in the US. Remember the A-B-Cs of bourbon.

Speaking of drinking, your liver is a magical organ, if you know what I mean. There is a company out there that is growing new ones. I'm not kidding.

Technology and drinkology together to bring...whatever sounds good to you. Metallica wasn't the first, but they are promoting something called "Black Noise sonic enhancement" used in their latest Rye release. Talk about a playlist.

Woodford tried something 'different' in a bid to keep the union out - wage increases and free bourbon. Go figure.

"We're bourbon drinkers, of course we know how to piss off the bartender" - snap your fingers. I dare you.

I've been "behind the pine" slinging booze and conversation. It is a blast - good times, fun, laughs and story telling - until it isn't. The usual suspect types piss off bartenders; complaining about the prices, choices of beverages, music, or lighting. "It's too loud" is a doozey - don't do that.

I found a playbook on how to be a pain in the a$$ for bartenders. Use it Saturday Night at your favorite watering hole.

Finally, your dream job come true, if you fancy being a bourbon maestro, creating your own dram. A company will give you the helm, maybe avoid the rocks and go for the globe...or cube.

Have a great one!
