Pink Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmeox Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 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.aspI 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.htmlYou can't go wrong with either of those books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburlowski Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The double old fashion. What I like about them is that at four inches they're the right size for my hand. Got a nice heft to them, too.Expensive, but then so are a lot of the "foo foo" tasting glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
