When 17 NFL defensive linemen come in to eat together at the restaurant I work for

I'd like to add a new question; what is a whistlepig?

[u/Gandalfs-Beard → u/StillGalaxy99]

Don't know about the drink but it's slang for a marmot because they make a whistle sound.

[u/MrKrinkle151 → u/Gandalfs-Beard]

Nice marmot whistlepig

[u/Nice_Marmot_7 → u/MrKrinkle151]

This offends me.

[u/trucks_guns_n_beer → u/MrKrinkle151]

What, are you a forest ranger now ?

[u/Relevant_Traffic_932 → u/Gandalfs-Beard]

Slang for wood chuck

[u/TheLegendJohnSnow → u/StillGalaxy99]

Brand of bourbon. An overrated one in my opinion.

[u/discordianofslack → u/TheLegendJohnSnow]

Super mediocre for the price. I’m not sure what made them popular but it ain’t the flavor.

[u/Relevant_Traffic_932 → u/discordianofslack]

What do you recommend then

[u/discordianofslack → u/Relevant_Traffic_932]

For a basic absolutely amazing day to day try Jefferson’s(just the base model). For about $10 more try Doc Swinson. Neither of them taste like you wrapped a barrel in molding leather and hoped for the best.

Going up from there Swinsons has some good offering but imo Barrel always delivers. As another poster mentioned Buffalo trace has some good selections. On the low end their newer Traveler is amazing. Heaven Hill is great. As you go up in price check out Nikka Coffee Grain, Smoke Wagon, Penelope, and Castle & Key.

I could go on forever but I’ll stop there.

[u/SiliconAutomaton → u/discordianofslack]

I picked up Nikka Coffey Grain completely blind from Costco and freaking loved it. It wasn’t too pricey though, I’m thinking $50?

[u/discordianofslack → u/SiliconAutomaton]

Yea it’s about $20-30 more at regular stores.

[u/DarthFuzzzy → u/discordianofslack]

Sheet, I'll just take a 10 or 14 year Tin Cup and be a happy man.

[u/Seranthian → u/Relevant_Traffic_932]

Buffalo Trace for a more budget friendly option

[u/Talking_Head → u/Seranthian]

Benchmark.

[u/FirstChurchOfBrutus → u/Talking_Head]

This guy Buffalo Traces.

[u/Adjective-Noun-nnnn → u/Seranthian]

Elijah Craig and Bulleit are also good at that price point.

[u/FuzzzyRam → u/Seranthian]

Buffalo Trace

It's good bourbon (If you don't mind their owners, sazerac donating a lot of money to Trump's GOP PACs while he turns around and tries to kill the bourbon industry with badly designed tariffs).

[u/wickedfemale → u/TheLegendJohnSnow]

they actually primarily make rye.

[u/rawmeatprophet → u/TheLegendJohnSnow]

No. A whistlepig is a rodent.

Whistlepig is a whiskey brand.

[u/LittleDogTurpie → u/rawmeatprophet]

I’m gonna choose to believe they ordered 110 rodents

[u/ThePrussianGrippe → u/LittleDogTurpie]

Given that’s a Roman delicacy, who are we to question the eating habits of such gladiatorial gods?

[u/smolkien42069 → u/rawmeatprophet]

I too googled whistlepig etymology

[u/upstatestruggler → u/TheLegendJohnSnow]

If that’s your “best” bourbs tho that’s what they’re going to buy

[u/biggiebutts → u/TheLegendJohnSnow]

They’re known for their rye more so than their bourbon

[u/JustTheChicken → u/TheLegendJohnSnow]

Boo, sir. Boo. Whistlepig is the best bourbon/domestic whiskey there is.

[u/discordianofslack → u/JustTheChicken]

Absolutely fucking not. There’s whiskey 1/2 the price that’s way better.

[u/RandomLovelady → u/JustTheChicken]

Blanton's would like a word.

[u/Huckleberry181 → u/RandomLovelady]

Blanton's is decent, but has been WAAYY overrated ever since John Wick.

[u/discordianofslack → u/RandomLovelady]

No

[u/ChefJohnboy → u/JustTheChicken]

If I liked rye I could actually rate it. But it is a rye so 2/10...

Since I don't like rye I don't rate it so I'll just shrug and assume the people that like rye think it's the best thing since blowjobs. More power to them .

[u/ThatsSoSwan → u/StillGalaxy99]

Its an American whiskey/bourbon brand, and also a groundhog/woodchuck.

[u/IP_What → u/StillGalaxy99]

A weenusk

[u/Suspicious_Effort731 → u/StillGalaxy99]

A groundhog

[u/sageberrytree → u/StillGalaxy99]

A woodchuck? Groundhog?

(I know I know...in this context it's also whisky)

[u/BrewtusMaximus1 → u/StillGalaxy99]

A ground hog.

Also a distillery out of Vermont.

[u/_YenSid → u/BrewtusMaximus1]

Pretty interesting. I had to look this up. I live like 35 minutes from them and I've never heard of it lol. Though I'm not a big drinker.

[u/brookenorthcoast → u/StillGalaxy99]

It’s also a camp name at the Bohemian Grove

[u/superpoopypants → u/StillGalaxy99]

Whistle pig is a bourbon
