Kentucky Whiskey Victory

[Absalom]

Since we just had that nice bourbon thread going for awhile and today I got the camera and the gun out for unrelated reasons, I decided to set up a still-life.

It's what I call my bourbon gun: V626880, shipped to the Louisville KY Division of Police in June 1945.

Only the Evan Williams is actually distilled in Louisville, at the Bernheim Distillery. But Lawrenceburg (Wild Turkey/Russell's Reserve) and Frankfort (Buffalo Trace/E.T. Lee and Blanton's) aren't very far away.

Looks like an old 1930's prohibition photo. Very cool.

I just shared that photograph with my wife, who is sipping Bulleit bourbon while I am slurping George Dickel, "white label"!

Cheers!

I've been on an EH Taylor kick lately.

I guess I'm a cheap drunk. I only buy the cheaper stuff, such as Ezra Brooks, Jim Beam, Rebel Yell, etc. I only drink the expensive stuff when it's offered to me by someone else. I started my LEO career 7/1/69. The PD I went to work for made us buy our own sidearms. When I started I didn't have one so the chief opens the safe and drags out a box full of Victory models and tells me he will loan me one until I can get enough money to buy my own. There were 15+ revolvers in that box and I picked out a nice U.S. Navy marked Victory that I wore for a couple of months. I didn't know much about revolvers then and had never owned one. I liked the Victory enough that I bought a new Model 10 similar to it and turned the Victory back in. The chief retired five years later and that box of Voctory revolvers mysteriously disappeared when he left.
