Welcome to the whiskey-fueled ranting of a Portlander-for-life and a recent inductee hailing from Seattle, WA. It is highly unlikely that you will find anything of value, and not a single word written here should be taken seriously. You WILL however find biased opinions, drunken banter and the pure, unadulterated rage from two Northwest culinarians. Enjoy.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend


"I can't help myself. I'm for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, tranquilizers, or a bottle of Jack Daniel's." -Frank Sinatra

Seven facts about No. 7 and the nine year old that made whiskey:

1)      Jack Daniels' signature whiskey is the Old No. 7 brand. There were not 6 previous incarnations, and the secret of the 7's real meaning died with the original Mr. Jack Daniels.

2)Jack was one of the few distilleries to survive prohibition.

3)Moore County, Tennessee, where Jack is distilled, is still a dry county. However, the distillery is exempt from the law and sells Gentlemen Jack in its gift shop.

4) Jack Daniels distillery was founded in 1866, The first batches were sold in large, ceramic jugs with big 'X's printed on the side.

5)If anyone has ever told you that you smell like Jack Daniels, it's time to seriously reevaluate your life.

6)Jack's iconic square bottle never originally held mayonnaise.

7)Jack will only render you blind if you break the bottle and jab it into your face.
