stillmaster Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Not bourbon, but a bottle of Templton rye. I am not a big rye fan, but since it was a gift from my two sons, who went to great lengths to get it, it is the best whiskey I have.mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 That's the best kind of gift Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 None. My family loves me, knows me and knows better. Our small house and its only spare room, has been gradually taken over by groaning and stacked up liquor case boxes, which also seems to be an impediment.:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissinER101 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Well; when my wife headed south to meet me on my return she brought a bottle of Eagle Rare Single Barrel; gotta say it's the best thing I've tasted in 9 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomH Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 No actual whiskey, but my son (who just happens to work for Borders) did give me the book, "Boozehound: On the Trail of the Rare, the Obscure, and the Overrated in Spirits" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Dog Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I ended up with 2 bottles of Booker's. One at 7yrs+4mo. at 128.6 proof, and one at 6yrs+10mo. at 126 proof. As I would not buy Booker's for myself, I'm quite pleased to have them for comparative tasting.:cool: :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 No actual whiskey, but my son (who just happens to work for Borders) did give me the book, "Boozehound: On the Trail of the Rare, the Obscure, and the Overrated in Spirits"Should be a good read. The author, Jason Wilson, writes for the Washington Post and had a pretty good article on bourbon and recommendations back in 2009. He shuns the number rating system too. Actually, thanks to Tom's son, I'm going to shop for the book tomorrow and add it to the holiday reading list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Duff Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 No bourbon. A bottle of Stranahan's. Wifey liked the little piece History did on them in the Whiskey Modern Marvels. Looking at the bottle, I was wondering why they don't call it a single malt. Its 100% barley, new barrel, two years old. Wouldn't you think it would help them?

keng Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Lot B. :grin: The wife pays attention! She actually said she couldn't find the 15yr and told the clerk that she didn't love me enough to buy the 23yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfw Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I compiled a list of bourbons not available in the U.S. including pictures for my wife some time ago since she was traveling quite a bit. I recived the following for Christmas:Wild Turkey 12 yrBlanton's Gold Blanton's Silver Blanton's Special Reserve Four Roses Super Premium Evan Williams 23 yrFrom my Sister:Old Rip Van Winkle 23 yr DecanterDo bourbons you purchase for yourself while Christmas shopping count as bourbons you got for Christmas?

Rotgut Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I got a Woodford Reserve with my initials engraved on the bottle. I like the shape of their bottles - they're like a huge flask. I haven't had WR for a while and it's much better than I remember it. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbonNOOG Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 ER 17 2010 and WLW 2010 from the parents. Opened the 2010 Stagg I bought on my birthday (Dec. 24). The brother, dad and I shared. It was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
