Columbus

Go where I might, I would be sure to see this alcoholic fiend dragging his victims to perdition.

Not long after the poor fellow above mentioned had died, we were ordered to move to Columbus, Kentucky.

Almost the first sight that met my eyes after we had landed was the form of a dying man, and on inquiry I learned that he too was dying of delirium tremens.

The same day a young man of my own company took his own life while under the influence of whiskey.

He had been in a state of intoxication from the time we left Chicago until we arrived in Columbus, that being about four days.

Before we got aboard the car, he had his canteen filled with whiskey, and when it was emptied, he would get it filled at some station where the train stopped for fuel and water.

As his supply had become exhausted by the time we had reached Columbus, he stepped into a saloon to get a fresh supply.

He succeeded in getting his canteen filled, and was in the act of drinking from a tumbler when our captain walked in at the door.

So, um, the release blends 25 barrels aged aboard Ingram's floating barrel houses on the Mississippi River, 21 from the lower deck and four from the upper deck.

It is available at retailers in Alaska, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin, and at the distillery in Columbus, Kentucky.

There is also direct-to-consumer availability in all states except for Michigan, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Utah.

I think this, it said this is, like, 25 barrels.

On October 3rd, there's a bourbon dinner pairing at Stockyard Grill.

This is just outside of Columbus.

Good Lord, this all sounds expensive.

Whoa, yeah.

Dessert for the next decade.

[laughs]

Why not? So the Ingraham Distillery based in Columbus, Kentucky is celebrating Bourbon Heritage Month with their debut of their sixth batch of their signature expression.

Well, okay, I guess we're just talking about their flagship Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
