Not possible, except for the elitist snob part. That Stamster is all talk and no walk. I've never seen said ascot. I think he's keeping them all to himself in his closet, as in closet ascoteer.

Further, since Bourbon is the product of Kentucky, which is within the native range of bass, methinks Bourbon is the drink of choice of bass bubbas, hither and yon. Scotch, being the product of Scotland, home of salmon rivers and sea trout, is the natural and logical drink of choice among salmon and trout anglers. And the referenced float trip having trout as the target species, it would be embarrassingly inappropriate to pack Bourbon for the trip. And you know I'm all about proper behavior.
