Whiskey Barber Poles

I like to get my hair cut on the road.  I enjoy going to little barber shops in major cities, or in smaller towns.  I just love meeting new people in them, and the characters that are so often the barbers.  It’s easy to find a barber shop, all you have to do is look for the Barber Pole. That’s the whole concept of what I call, Whiskey Barber Poles.

When it comes to wines, I like Pinot Noir’s and Cabernet Sauvingnon. When it comes to beer, I like a Pilner, Ambers, and Pale Ales. That really helps me out when I’m looking at a wine or beer list.  You can do the same thing with whiskeys.  There are bourbons made with wheat, and there’s only a handful of them, so if you like one of those, it sure helps out to know which ones those are.  So I have written down some Whiskey Barber Poles to help you out when you are given a huge bourbon and whiskey list to look over.
