About Us
The “Locust Avenue Drinking Society” was formed in June 2012 (fka the “Locust Avenue Bourbon Club”) and is the antithesis to a wine guild or wine club. We are down-to-earth whiskey drinkers who made it our hobby to try as many different types as possible while never describing any of them with pretentious adjectives and adverbs (e.g.: this bourbon is like a winter seascape with a flute player melodiously blowing an Irish sea ditty.)
We are neighbors which eliminates the need to drive (please never drink and drive) and it allows our wives to socialize on one side of the street while we drink and socialize on the other. It was a bachelor party with fine wines that initially inspired the club to review Bourbons (due in part to our lack of wine knowledge and the small number of Bourbons makes our limited knowledge that much richer) and our wives encouragement to get out of the house. Consequently, it would be no surprise if our wives start a competing blog about cheese, champagne or margaritas.
We would like to share our thoughts with as many people as possible and to receive good comments. The rarer the bourbon the better and we are always looking for the perfect drink.
So…welcome to our new bourbon tasting guide and bourbon rating blog.
We have no connection to the alcohol business world, and have no special skills or refined pallets. Why not share our findings? Enjoy and please feel free to “politely” participate in the discussion of drink!
