Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
So the guy I sold the OF to told us a story about the time he and his brother drank a bottle of Pappy 23. Does a yearly fly fishing trip to Wyoming every year with his Dad and brother. First couple years at the lodge, he sees an older gent smoking a cigar on a huge porch. Told that’s the owner and likes to keep to himself. A year or two later as they’re having dinner in the main lodge, the owner comes in and asks if he can join them. Eventually they find out he used to own Ameritrade, thus how he afforded the lodge. More small talk about what he does now. Tells them, “I dabble in baseball”. Turns out it’s Joe Ricketts, owner of the Chicago Cubs. At one point he grabs a bottle and tells them he’s not much of a bourbon drinker himself, maybe they might like it. Yup, Pappy 23. Both brothers spent the rest of the night drinking the bottle.
