(b) Class 2; whisky. “Whisky” is an alcoholic distillate from a fermented mash of grain produced at less than 190° proof in such manner that the distillate possesses the taste, aroma, and characteristics generally attributed to whisky, stored in oak containers (except that corn whisky need not be so stored), and bottled at not less than 80° proof, and also includes mixtures of such distillates for which no specific standards of identity are prescribed.
(1) (i) “Bourbon whisky”, “rye whisky”, “wheat whisky”, “malt whisky”, or “rye malt whisky” is whisky produced at not exceeding 160° proof from a fermented mash of not less than 51 percent corn, rye, wheat, malted barley, or malted rye grain, respectively, and stored at not more than 125° proof in charred new oak containers; and also includes mixtures of such whiskies of the same type.

(iii) Whiskies conforming to the standards prescribed in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section, which have been stored in the type of oak containers prescribed, for a period of 2 years or more shall be further designated as “straight”; for example, “straight bourbon whisky”, “straight corn whisky”, and whisky conforming to the standards prescribed in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section, except that it was produced from a fermented mash of less than 51 percent of any one type of grain, and stored for a period of 2 years or more in charred new oak containers shall be designated merely as “straight whisky”. No other whiskies may be designated “straight”. “Straight whisky” includes mixtures of straight whiskies of the same type produced in the same State.
(2) “Whisky distilled from bourbon (rye, wheat, malt, or rye malt) mash” is whisky produced in the United States at not exceeding 160° proof from a fermented mash of not less than 51 percent corn, rye, wheat, malted barley, or malted rye grain, respectively, and stored in used oak containers; and also includes mixtures of such whiskies of the same type. Whisky conforming to the standard of identity for corn whisky must be designated corn whisky.

(4) “Blended whisky” (whisky—a blend) is a mixture which contains straight whisky or a blend of straight whiskies at not less than 20 percent on a proof gallon basis, excluding alcohol derived from added harmless coloring, flavoring or blending materials, and, separately, or in combination, whisky or neutral spirits. A blended whisky containing not less than 51 percent on a proof gallon basis of one of the types of straight whisky shall be further designated by that specific type of straight whisky; for example, “blended rye whisky” (rye whisky—a blend).
(5) (i) “A blend of straight whiskies” (blended straight whiskies) is a mixture of straight whiskies which does not conform to the standard of identify for “straight whisky.” Products so designated may contain harmless coloring, flavoring, or blending materials as set forth in 27 CFR 5.23(a).
(ii) “A blend of straight whiskies” (blended straight whiskies) consisting entirely of one of the types of straight whisky, and not conforming to the standard for straight whisky, shall be further designated by that specific type of straight whisky; for example, “a blend of straight rye whiskies” (blended straight rye whiskies). “A blend of straight whiskies” consisting entirely of one of the types of straight whisky shall include straight whisky of the same type which was produced in the same State or by the same proprietor within the same State, provided that such whisky contains harmless coloring, flavoring, or blending materials as stated in 27 CFR 5.23(a).
(iii) The harmless coloring, flavoring, or blending materials allowed under this section shall not include neutral spirits or alcohol in their original state. Neutral spirits or alcohol may only appear in a “blend of straight whiskies” or in a “blend of straight whiskies consisting entirely of one of the types of straight whisky” as a vehicle for recognized flavoring of blending material.
(6) “Spirit whisky” is a mixture of neutral spirits and not less than 5 percent on a proof gallon basis of whisky, or straight whisky, or straight whisky and whisky, if the straight whisky component is less than 20 percent on a proof gallon basis.

Cornell notwithstanding, I still think that, as do all good Kentuckians/bourbon aficionados.

Some amazing and exclusive labels have been popping up the past week or so. I haven't seen either of these labels on the thread yet so here is my contribution...
Was looking through a sorry rack of jackets last week and a guy standing at the end of the rack looking at his iphone a few feet away from a jacket slung over the rack.
Me: Sorry, is that your jacket?
Him: No, it's a weird fitting adidas jacket. I think it's fake cause the label is weird.
Me: Ummmm....ok (as i pick up the jacket...)
Adidas label does look a bit odd...
Maybe because it's the Japanese collabo version...
After finding the above jacket, I was walking around the store and found an unknown (to me) label on a western shacket made in Japan. Much heavier and more intricate details then anything comparable i've seen made in the USA and knew it was quality. Fit small so i was hesitant to pick it up (even for a few bucks) because it didn't fit properly. After a lot of back and forth I decided to leave it.
Went home and googled the brand...saw the same jacket on American Rag, got back in the car and made the drive back to the store to pick it up
Remi Relief Thinsulate Quilting Jacket...beautiful attention to details...Japanese/Americana repro stuff is always next level quality

Y3 Tech Twill Hooded Jacket from 2011
Awesome glen plaid removable hood liner with leather accents and great details
A little long in the arms and a bit wide but the oversized hood is great to wear in the rain for the 6am workout

Wow - crazy finds on both accounts! Just a tip, most anything that has a throw-back Americana look to it, is made in Japan (or the USA for that matter) and is super well constructed with lots of attention to detail like that, just grab it.

Did I just pop my EG cherry? They are the ones with the little window and handwritten size, right? Although the soles say Italy, so resoled?

Must.....fight....urges....
I am on a thrift hiatus for what may be 2–3 months. Exams, and then bar prep.

No thrifting but did manage to e-pick up these Frye's new for $50.
