The rules are simple: we pair bourbons (american made, white oak, fresh bbl) to gats that most closely resemble them in terms of taste and aesthetic. u/ScruffyUSP will have the final say on gud or fgt pairing
I’ll go first: Tin Cup and Glock
It’s a little esoteric but you see it everywhere. Tastes reasonably smooth enough to appeal to a wide range of palettes but also gets the job done. Wouldn’t be surprised to run across either in most bars or back alleys. Reasonably priced.
It's so hard to do without also pairing a meat treat to go with it...
Ol' Tube Sock and a Home Depot Glawk served with spicy Venison snack sticks.
50/50 Venison/Beef ratio, season with: Salt(finely ground), Pepper(finely ground), Ghost Pepper powder, Garlic powder, mustard powder. I usually make this when I'm chain smoking joints the size of tampons so I basically just throw a bunch of spices and sometimes herbs in there.
Home made gat? Meat sticks?
I'd offer more but i'm too busy eating and spraying meat crumbs all over the table trying not to blush at all that romantic talk there.
You sir, are a discerning 'tist.
Homemade errythang Uncle Scruffy. Ol’ Tube Sock started out as moonshine my dad made back in the ‘80s that he aged for 25 years with oak staves. His experience with homemade booze involved wine and beer which degrades in sunlight so he stored the jars of whiskey in tube socks(doesn’t do anything, lol) hence the name.
I'm honestly speechless. That's so gorgeously American that i feel like an F14 and a bald eagle should fly by while electric guitars wail the national anthem. Hats off to the makers and drinkers of old tube sock.
I wanna say something silly and mildly obscene but all I can hear is jet engines and guitars.
