What Bourbon did you find recently that would make a great Christmas gift for you?

It would have to be that bottle of Pappy 20 that I found last week.

There's a BMH 21 I have been eyein' pretty hard lately....

Both of the Bottles of LeNell's Red Hook Rye I picked up yesterday are Christmas gifts for me. My Sister and Father-in-Law are paying for them. Good people those two.

Well, actually I picked up several bottles on a trip to Omaha a few weeks ago. These were all varieties that aren't available in Sioux Falls. I've opened some of them but gave the Lot B and ORVW 10/107 to my wife and asked her to give them to me for Christmas. :cool:

My thinking goes like this. The bottle of Pappy 23 that I ordered yesterday is going to be from mom using that $100 she gives me every year for Christmas.. even though I'm 45. Thanks mom! Oh yeah I get $100 for my birthday too! You can call me mama's boy but wait 'till I'm tipping my first pour and I'll toast to that.

I am easily pleased.

Any bottle from any distillery.

Anything Van Winkle would suit me fine :D
....or something from Heaven Hill
...... or something from Bufallo Trace
......... or anything from any distillery that isn't retailing to Australia :cool:

three, because:

forester barrel reserve, i'm a big forester fan. never seen this one, pretty sure its no longer made.

four roses single barrel, 'cause i cant buy it here! (i'll get some when i go to kentucky this spring because i dont expect to get this one for x mas)

old pogue, i've never had this one. and i like how its the only whiskey these folks make.

Assuming they are still there I would like to have the 3 WLW's that were sitting on the shelf at the liquor store the last time I was there. The only way this will happen is if I buy them myself though, the only people I exchange gifts with either don't shop at this store and wouldn't think to buy them even if they saw them, won't purchase liquor as a gift for me, or aren't old enough to buy them. I'm tempted to buy them, wrap them, put them under the tree, and feign surprise on X-mas morning when we are all opening presents. :)

What I'd like to know is where the hell you're getting Pappy 23 for $100!!:skep:
