I wear this Cowboy-looking hat lapel pin in memory of Dave Pickerell. He wore his hat everywhere, and this reminds of the whiskey man we lost. I wrote about him in Bottom Shelf. Do you have a good Dave story?

Epic day yesterday with @fredminnick if you haven’t grabbed a copy of his book you are truly missing out on an incredible true story of how bourbon saved one man’s life. Autographed copies available @brownstonetavern Don’t snooze on your copy as there is limited availability!

You all know my palate. I rarely like bourbon north of 20 years old. I frequently find them astringent, overoaked and a complete waste of money. Will these Eagle Rare media samples be different?
