another hint is that an earlier brand called "Old Grand-Dad" featured a portrait of me on its label

Basil Hayden?

YES !!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hayden's

Basil Hayden's is the lightest bodied bourbon whiskey in the family of Jim Beam small batch bourbons produced by Beam Suntory. It is 80 proof, in contrast with its three sibling brands of higher alcohol concentration (Knob Creek, Booker's, and Baker's).

The Basil Hayden's bourbon brand is named in honor of Basil Hayden, Sr., who was a Maryland Catholic that led a group of twenty-five Catholic families from Maryland into what is now Nelson County, Kentucky (near Bardstown) in 1785.[citation needed] This area is home to many of the famous bourbon brands, including Jim Beam. There Hayden donated the land for the first Catholic church west of the Alleghenies and the first Catholic church in what is now the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Hayden was also a distiller, and he used a larger amount of rye in his mash than in some other bourbons. Later, Hayden's grandson Raymond B. Hayden[citation needed] founded a distillery in Nelson County and named his label "Old Grand-Dad" in honor of his grandfather. The picture on the bottle was copied from a rendering of Basil Sr.'s likeness. When Beam Industries introduced their "small batch" collection, among the four was "Basil Hayden's", which the company says uses a mash similar to that originally utilized by Hayden in 1792.

Hick...Hick....ats lasht lol!!!

I'll do the next one if you like?

Yes I would like that

After taking the bourbon tour with you I suddenly realized that many distillers were connected to a church in a round about way lol

It's quite strange that fact Michael when you consider that most religions frown upon alcohol consumption :)

I should have said....frowned on the 'outside' I know all about religions that turn a blind eye on ANYTHING that is a profit to them in the end...that is why I am no longer a believer...

Why don't they pass a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as Prohibition did, in five years we will have the smartest people on earth.
