The bourbon for this evening is Russell's Reserve, a 90-proof 10-year old bourbon.
Its smoothness combined with what the literature strapped to the bottle calls "notes of oak and vanilla" masks a kick like a mule, and when it comes oozing out of your skin the next morning, it smells like the laundry room at a home for alcoholic lumberjacks.
Good stuff, though. Too bad Austin Nichols is owned by the insufferable Frogs at Pernod Ricard.

Libertyman here - you have fine taste in bourbon, have you tried Blanton's? I am still admiring your Garand!
Thanks for the steer. I have not tried Blanton's, but you bet I will. My current selection is Evan Williams, Four Roses, and Russells. I also partial to Bulleit, Elmer T. Lee, Buffalo Trace and Elijah Craig.
Oh, also --- The CMP still has Service Grade and Special Grade Garands available.
