April 2024 Bourbon and this week's Talking Sense.


April 2024 Bywater Bourbon

Bywater Bourbon

Aroma: Bywater Bourbon is all alcohol to my nose.

Taste: Spicy. I think the high alcohol content does that, or maybe the southern heat.

Appearance: heads to the darkish side of yellow-red.

Finish: Spicy continues all the way through.

Story of: distilled in New Orleans which supposedly gives it its unique taste.

March Madness

You have to admire the USA: simultaneous sporting events of Men and Women college basketball, professional basketball, baseball season starts, hockey playoffs, and, if all that is not enough, Rugby games and classic Football on television.

How do people have time to watch all these games, bet on them, take their kids to their own games and, oh yeah, work?
