Are you really qualified to write about food if you can't tell the difference between a mint julep and tea? NO Southerner puts mint in plain tea. They take it cold, with sugar. MAYBE a lemon. Jeez. This is a column of lies.

Man, I love whiskey, especially bourbon. I tried Bulleit for the first time a few weeks ago, and I drank it neat. And yes, it was very smooth. I have not bought a bottle of it yet, but reading this article just might push me to do it!

That is OK because he is from the south. Exception to the rule. And, I am 90% convinced that is a lie.

Curious. I have it on good authority that Tom Bulleit is actually a teetotaller.

Man's man was drinking a mint julep, I believe, during the interview.

Yes, but how does he feel about GARNISH?
