Help With a Gift

[Pink]

I am in search for help in purchasing a great birthday present for my friend, a bourbon enthusiast. He has recently aquired an extensive collection of bourbon and has a very impressive bunker.

I am not looking to purchase a bottle of bourbon for him (trust me he has enough).

I am interested in either purchasing a collectable item, nice glasswear, or a good book on bourbon.

Any suggestions for a gift would be much appreciated.
If you could please direct me also to where to find such gifts, that would also be helpful.

A good book? I recommend But Always Fine Bourbon which is a story of the Van Winkle family and their bourbon. It is available at the Buffalo Trace gift shop. http://www.buffalotrace.com/giftshop.asp

I also recommend Bourbon, Straight which was written by Chuck Cowdery. You can find it on Amazon.com and at http://cowdery.home.netcom.com/bourst.html

You can't go wrong with either of those books.

If he prefers to drink from a rocks glass, these are my favorites. They've got a nice heft to them.

Very nice looking. But at that price I'd sure hate to drop one...
