Uh... the "sawmill" gravy I've made didn't call for rancid bacon grease.
Then again, I'm not one to save bacon grease like a miser with a jar
of it next to the stove.

Bleached flour... whatcha gonna tout next, gluten free flour? A scant
tablespoonful of flour serves as the thickener, then slowly add milk or
cream and whisk. Keep whisking. Or, in your case, keep whiskeying!
