Ezra Klein has a fascinating interview with Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY), head of the Congressional Bourbon Caucus. Go read it.
The most shocking part to me? Dude drinks Maker’s. Don’t get me wrong, I like Maker’s Mark, but I don’t have a congressional salary.
(ProTip: Maker’s is a hell of a lot better aged on some orange peel and vanilla beans for a few months)

In college, all I would drink is Vodka. Now, I much prefer Maker’s Mark, Gran Marnier, Tattoo Rum, or various types of wine. Hooray for Maker’s Mark! Thanks for the tip…this post made me giggle a bit. And yes, perhaps if I had a Congressional Salary, I’d be finding Bourbon love in MUCH different places. 😉
Haha, awesome. I haven’t had much bourbon recently, mostly scotch. Johnny Walker Black is fantastic.
