    If YOU had a Benjamin… What our Readers have to say

    BillBy BillApril 27, 2015Updated:May 12, 2015No Comments2 Mins Read

    Have you been following along with the Bourbon Brain Trusts “If I had a Benjamin” Series?

    It’s really the age old question for bourbon-lovers isn’t it?  On what particular whiskey should a whiskey lover spend their hard-earned dollars?  To best answer it, I decided to call in the cavalry.  I contacted a number of bourbon and whiskey bloggers, podcasters, writers, and retailers and asked them to submit their own strategic allocations of a hundred bucks.  Now it’s your turn.

    Have any ideas for how YOU’D spend your Benjamin on bourbon and whiskey?  Share it with us!

    How to send it to us:

    • Email:  Bill@modernthirst.com
    • Post a reply in the comments section below.

    • Post it on our FaceBook Page (www.facebook.com/ModernThirst)
    • Twitter: @Modern_Thirst (be sure to use the hash tag #IfIhadaBenjamin)

    Here’s what YOU had to say:


    Can’t complain about Jeffrey David’s choices at all:

    If I Had a Benjamin - Jeffrey David


    I may need to plan a trip to Massachusetts soon… 
    If I had a Benjamin - Rick Dubay


    Quality over Quantity:

    If YOU had a Benjamin - Kevin Glowacki

     


    Unfortunately these days, you’re right!  But we couldn’t make it easy on everyone, could we?
    If I Had a Benjamin - Gwen S Roden

     


    These guys are definitely on the right track: 

    If I had a benjamin Carnes and Chelski

    If I had a Benjamin FB
