Seen at an airport... Double Blanton and Sweet Tea?

just why, I like Bourbon as much as the next guy, but if you are gonna drink a quality Bourbon, drink it neat. I sit at bars all the time and see people order Blanton's Old Fashioned's and I'm like why, just why. Add to say, drinking it with a block is acceptable.
My beers were $12.00 a piece for Miller Lite so I can only imagine what his cost.
Sounds like a good way to ruin sweet tea.
This is how my businesses launder money. We have a real Blanton’s and a fake Blanton’s. The fake Blanton’s is something cheap. Sometimes we use sweet tea itself, so it’s really a double sweet tea with sweet tea. We have a few people who we rotate through ordering fake Blanton’s at $40 a drink. We clear about $5000 per day per bar. Real customers get intrigued sometimes and order the same, in which case we give them real Blanton’s at a good margin.
We used to have a Kentucky Derby party. One year a guy brought his own Blanton’s and asked for a Diet Coke. My neighbor, who is a Bourbon purist, went off on him.
“Hundred dollar bottle of Bourbon and you want to ruin it by putting a Damn Diet Coke in it!! What the H_ll is wrong with you, man!!!!”

Blantons and tea are for the poors.
Gonna be interesting watching the bourbon market over the next decade or so now that the inevitable decline of the craze is happening.
There’s a tremendous amount of whiskey aging in rickhouses and elsewhere.

We can thank the Canadians for this, stupid asses boycotting American Bourbon is the best thing ever for bourbon lovers in the US.
They can enjoy all the Canadian whiskey they want to. With rare exceptions it is piss compared to US products.
Sorry, but I do the same minus lime. Although I prefer King of Kentucky to Pappy.Blantons and tea are for the poors.
