We’re sad too, Boyd… but no amount of Jameson will ease these sorrows. As Mr. Crowder ponders his next move in Harlan County, the inevitable end of Justifiedlooms when S6 wraps up. “Fate’s Right Hand” sets the table for what’s to come, and like any table on Justified,whiskey is being served.
Though beyond the Jameson, what’sbeing served is some what of a question. We know Art Mullen has a soft spot for Blanton’s, but this bottle doesn’t appear quite right and it’s being pulled out of something in velvet (ala Crown Royal, but that isn’t the right shape either). If you have any intel, certainly speak up.
Living in New Orleans, we didn’t start watching Treme expecting to see an abundance of whiskey. It exists here, it’s just not one of the top three orders from anecdotal research.
However,Treme is another David Simon joint. And if The Wire taught us anything, it’s that whiskey is a universal social lubricant, used by both copsandrobbers. After watching S1 of Treme, the good stuff was surprisingly well represented:
Ladonna with Southern Comfort…
Davis with Jameson…
And Creighton with Woodford Reserve.
For a show based in rural Louisiana, the folks of HBO's True Detective sure do not care about any regional products. When it comes down to what whiskey these forlorn cops drown their sorrows in, Jameson is clearly the everyday liquor of choice (evidenced here by both Rust and Marty):
Things get slightly classier (but no deeper in local drink ties) when the main duo celebrates. Johnnie Walker Black seems to satisfy all the cops for an occasion.
Finally, when modern times arrive and bourbon is absolutely prevalent, it’s Macallan that greases the bureaucratic wheels of justice.
