JTS Brown

Years ago we were obsessed with The Hustler. In high school we hung out in pool halls because they were among the few places teenagers could actually congrgate. I remember that Don Shrader and I shared an affinity for quoting Eddie Felson. Our favorite line:

"I don't rattle, kid. Just for that I'll beat you straight."

But the thing that really struck us was all the talk of this "JTS Brown."

"JTS Brown, no ice, no glass."

What was this mysterious liquor? When we turned 21, we tried ordering it at every bar we went to and people looked at us like we were crazy.
We concluded that it was made up for the film.

Flash forward to 2006 when I started working at a fine establishment in Washington, DC called Bourbon. My first day there I'm examining the 100+ bourbons available, and what do I see?

Too bad it tastes like shit.
