Default Re: Illinois Get Together - June 18th noon-3:00 pm

And... look what followed me home - one of Keith's Black Dogs! Well, after the tour and learning a bit about the distilling process...one HAS to take home a souvenir, right?

Actually, it is one of his special creations; a Lavender Vodka.

The shape of the bottle is like a flask instead of a (cylindrical) bottle. And, if I understood Keith correctly, he saw "Rooster Cogborn" (played by John Wayne in "True Grit") drinking from a flask-like bottle and went looking for one like it. He found one, made in Italy. And, as it happens, it was their bottle that was used in the movie! So, just a bit of trivia (did I get that right, Keith??)

Anyway... it was a really fun gathering of eagles!
