He appeared more drunk than nervous.

Mint Julips are a thing at the Derby.

Yeah, they are. I've never had one, but it doesn't sound like my kind of drink.

I've never had one either. Which is a shame since its a "southern drink".
I guess I better put that on my todo list. Although I dont know any bars that would have fresh mint leaves.

In my youth, while visiting relatives in Richmond VA, my aunt Joan let me have a sip. It was minty, but I was not yet accustomed to the taste of whiskey (whiskey played a larger role, later in my life), so the overall effect was negative.

Its bourbon, not whiskey.
Although there have been bar fights about the difference between bourbon and whiskey.

Bourbon is a type of whiskey, much like Scotch, or rye.

I'm not sure what the Kentucky Derby people are doing.
Normally they have my favorite gay boi Johnny Weir hosting, I love him.
But this year they have Von Miller hosting. That doesnt even make sense. Looks like they decided to hitch their wagon to the NFL. Yes, but why? Horse people rather see Johnny Weir. I'm officially not a horse person.

Not sure about the subject matter so I did a bit of research and found the following...
here is a list of what makes whiskey qualify as bourbon:
1. Must be made in the United States.
2. Must contain 51% corn.
3. Must be aged in new oak-charred barrels.
4. Must be distilled to no more than 160 proof and entered into the barrel at 125 proof.
5. Must be bottled at no less than 80 proof.
6. Must not contain any added flavoring, coloring or other additives.

I would think "horse" people are in the minority of Kentucky Derby viewers. They're gunning for numbers...and Baker is high on the "viewability" list. Browns fans should be ecstatic about this. His interview with Turico was a thing of beauty and professionalism. Drunk my ...

j/c:
Has anyone claimed that getting drunk is a bad thing? I don't think it is. He wasn't working like Josh Gordon. It's his free time. Big deal. Of course, that won't stop a guy who was never a Brown's fan telling Brown's fans what to think.

link Whiskey has to be made in Kentucky to be called bourbon. That's why Jack Daniels is called Tennessee sipping whiskey. I learned this years ago going to bartender school.

While most bourbons are from Kentucky, it doesn't have to be. But it does have to be made in the USA. However, I was going to mention geography is important, especially with scotch. Scotch is only from Scotland.
