Tis the season for gifts in the mail

Just came in from shoveling the driveway (I really wanted to become a snowbird!) and picked up the mail. It included a small box from Maker's Mark, their annual Christmas gift. Opened it up and found a red plastic tray and a statement about bourbon balls. Anticipating 4 sweet chocolate bourbon morsels, I was disappointed when I opened it up and found it empty (did they forget to put the stuff in there?). Leave it to my wife to read the enclosed card which informed me that I now had a tray to make the big ice balls used in drinks - no longer disappointed (I always thought those things were neat - even though I don't use ice that often).

What are the other distilleries sending this year ?

A hoilday email from Craig and Parker Beam.

I received a calender in the mail today from Jack Daniels. I also received e-mails from Old Forester and Four Roses. Four Roses said to watch my mail for a gift arriving soon. :grin: Joe

No glass this year from Four Roses. Got an ornament. Not sure how that applies to the Happy Hanukah wishes they express.

I received my ornament from Four Roses, and bourbon ice cube ball tray from Maker's Mark today. Joe

An ornament from Four Roses that arrived 34 cents postage due. :bigeyes:

You can't make stuff like that up.

That's what you get for ogling the head of marketing. :grin:

Mines already on the tree.

Call FR and complain, they'd probably put a 34 cent check in the mail with an additional stamp on it:lol:

FedEx just dropped off a package from Heaven Hill. I opened it up to find a stack of one hundred or so black paper cocktail napkins. Printed on them in gold ink, "American Whiskey Collection". Underneath that they list their brands: EW, EC, Bernheim Wheat, PHC and Ritt. :thankyousign: HH.

I am digging the MM ice ball trays. I almost always drink my bourbon neat, but these will definitely come in handy for iced tea, soda, mixed drinks, etc. Melted ice ruins everything!
