Back in college, I had this one professor of Microbiology, we’ll call him Dr. W. I dreaded running into him into the restroom. In fact, if possible, I’d go run across the street to the Engineering building, or simply go to another floor. You see, he had this rather unusual habit in the restroom. Yes, most of us consider it hygienic to wash our hands after we do our business at the urinal. But Dr.W took it to a whole new level of hygiene. He used to stand there in front of the sink, and wash his schlong right there on the sink. He lathered it up, put on the soap, and just continued washing. He then walked over to the dryer, schlong in hand, and dried it under the blower. All the while, he was having full conversations with me, asking me my opinion on various MicroB topics. He’d stand there doing his schlong wash and rinse, while asking me “ so, how do you think a retrovirus inserts it’s RNA ?” What was I to do? I’m his star student. Guy is writing me a recommendation for that summer internship in the Chilean Andes researching local flora ( side note: I didn’t give a rat’s ass about Chilean flora. I just wanted to get drunk and get on with the South American girls ). Anyway...that was Dr.W. Fully transparent, showed everything and didn’t give a damn.
That takes me to this bottle. These guys apparently ran some podcasts for bourbon and whiskey enthusiasts, and then decided to take their hobby up a notch by sourcing bourbon and bottling it. But...their transparency is all over the bottle. It lists everything such as where it’s sourced from ( state), years, casks, etc. All in all, they bottle some really good stuff. So my pour, courtesy of a business dinner I had last week, was from a 14 year TN whiskey. It’s Christmas in a bottle. Nose of sweet plum, brown sugar. Palette —gingerbread and vanilla.
Really good stuff, bottled by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, and fully transparent as much as

@1901 even funnier would be if Dr W reads it. Oh well...not that he can undo that Chilean internship 😊
Ryan - Hey Kenny, check this out. The first review of our new whiskey is up on the Distiller app. Kenny - Awesome! That was quick. Ryan - And it's one from @PBMichiganWolverine He's like, you know, an 'influencer' on this app. I love his stuff. Lots of comments on it too. Kenny - What are they saying about it? Ryan - Kenny - What is it, Ryan? Ryan - Kenny - Let me take a look. Ryan - BACK AWAY FROM THE PHONE!!
“Schlong” 😂
@Rick_M I think his bathroom repertoire was what made me ace his exams. If I can answer questions in that environment, a test exam was a cake walk
Reminds me of my advisor (chair of the History Dept) saying once in class that since he had tenure, it was basically impossible for him to get fired as long as he kept his clothes on and didn't just curse at us for an hour instead of lecture. Clearly, he could have gotten away with more than he thought.
Haha.. great story. Gees doubt you'd get away with that these days!
That’s bringing the old men in the gym locker up into a whole ‘nuther level.
@PBMichiganWolverine - I think your professor was goofing on you big time. I can just hear him now at one of the faculty cocktail parties, “And you should have seen the look on the kid’s face when I pulled out the comb.” :)
@PBMichiganWolverine is that type of behavior frowned upon?? if so I should probably stop 😂
@Richard-ModernDrinking nope. Not at all. To make matters worse, he then combed his hair down there post wash and dry cycle. While questioning my MicroB aptitude.
@1901 I always wondered that. But, the scientist in me reasoned that any virus or bacteria will naturally be killed through steady regular exposure anyway
You have got to be kidding.
One hell of an intro! Sweet Jeebus, there's only one image I'm going to to take from this review and unfortunately it's not whiskey. I gotta ask, as a microbiologist did he know something the rest of us don't about hygiene down there?
