jburlowski Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 My soon-to-be wife got me a bottle of 2010 Stagg and a Jefferson's 17. Her parents gave me a Lot B. It was a great Christmas.Sounds like you are marrying well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesDaddy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 No whiskey for me under the tree, but I did get myself a bottle of Bernheim Original today. I've had one pour, so not sure what I think of it quite yet, but the initial taste is pleasant. I like wheated bourbons so I thought I'd like this.

CorvallisCracker Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Received no bourbon.I guess we "went Irish" this year, as I received a bottle of Bailey's (gawdhelpmebutIdolovethestuff) from a friend, and I gave my wife a bottle of Red Breast 15 (the 12 is - was - her favorite whiskey).Also received a copy of Broom's Atlas, also from a friend (different one).

I know the best whiskey is free whiskey but even that has it's limits. How about donate it to the local chapter of the legion? Those guys could always use some more pain killer.

If I was on the receiving end, I would fully expect Allen Funt to walk in to the room after the third bottle was unwrapped. Merry Christmas, Oscar. You're on Candid Camera!

nivto Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 2 bottles of bookers... luckily for me, i'm a fan of bookers but never want to drop the money on a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nblair Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I received a bottle of Bailey's (gawdhelpmebutIdolovethestuff) from a friend I'd highly recommend checking out the Buffalo Trace Cream Liqueur. I think it is much better than Bailey's (but maybe that's just because I know it's made with bourbon...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iudoc97 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 By the master distiller who happened to be at the distillery in the gift shop. My good friend who really turned on the bourbon taste in me heard me talking about wanting a flask. He was in the area and stopped by the gift shop and was nice enough to pick up the bottle/flask gift set. Tonight I picked up Four Roses single barrel for him to celebrate new years! Of course I anticipate trying it at the party. That will be a new one for me. The small batch was very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris24 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I got a bottle of High West Whiskey 21 year as of yet unopened (will be when my brother gets married in about a month). Also a Visa gift card labelled "Booze Money" (any Futurama fans?).Not to count all the Pappy and BTAC I bought in the last week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer&Bourbon Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I got a bottle of Woodford and a 12 pack of small bottles of Makers Mark from the in-laws. Not a fan of either, but the small bottles will be good for pocketing into sporting events and the Woodford will be used for mint juleps at the next Derby party.I'm just thrilled the in-laws are starting to get me gifts I can enjoy. I'll just have to tweak their knowledge by next Christmas toward some better bourbons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
