Family always starts with champagne around noon, likely Moët. Will move on to Junipero gin as my "aperitif" and Beaujolais for Thanksgiving dinner. Then espresso and a Pappy 15 with my grandfather

As for me, I haven't made up my mind yet. We're having Thanksgiving dinner at my sister and brother in-laws. There'll be lot's of family present, but no one else that enjoys bourbon. I'll probably wait till I get home to have a pour or two. I have an 07 WLW, and a SW Weller SR open, but I may end up opening a Binny's Weller 12. One of the guys brought some to bowling last Wednesday, and it sure tasted good. It's been a long time since I've had one open. Cheers! Joe

I couldn't wait. I opened a Binny's Weller 12 tonight. Headstart. :rolleyes: To quote a saying oft used by our bowling team, "Same as it ever was." :grin: Mmm Mmm Good. Joe

I'll start the day with some Kentucky coffee, then have an OGD BIB to remember my old grandad and Thanksgivings past.

Then the brother-in-law and I will resume our ongoing Canadian Club (him) and bourbon (me) argument. Disparaging each others tastes, culture and manhood based on our preferred drink.

In honor of Turkey Day the bar will be set up with Wild Turkey 101, 81, and Kentucky Spirit. After everyone has gone home and the house cleaned up from 6 grandchildren running around I will sit down with a pour of George T. Stagg 2011 and a good cigar.

Having a little CGL WT12 and Split Label WT12 as I cruise the net, both are wonderful.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Turkey just went on the smoker, everything else is ready to go in the oven, its time for a little PVW 15. Just enough left for a couple pours.

We don't generally celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia, but in honour of the US holiday my wife is baking a Makers Mark pumpkin pie for desert tonight, and I'll probably enjoy a Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned or two when I finish work. :cool:

Had a great Thanksgiving. Cajun rubbed fried Turkey and a great bottle of wine followed by Pecan and Apple Pie with a generous pour of Wild Turkey Russell's Reserve 101.

A big glass of cold milk for breakfast, then back to bed.

Leftover pizza and a Guinness for brunch.

Freshly roasted turkey and trimmings with home made eggnog, using my special eggnog spiking mix.

Turkey sandwiches for dinner, with some Elmer T. Lee.

Some Marie Duffau Napolean as the evening winds down.

Back home from Thanksgiving and just finished the leftovers from the turkey breast I roasted on Tuesday (having had a twisted desire to do a mini-Thanksgiving meal for just me and the gf). Now it's time to relax with the NFL and some 4 Roses OESQ recipe SB.

Tom Moore BIB from about 1980. Thick, oily, corn sweetness, some rye bite. Satisfactory finish. Very nice drink. Glad I found this 1.75 back in the spring.

Glad to see you posting Slob. Your avatar is still the greatest ever.

Had a 2009 A to Z Pinot Noir from Oregon with the bird today and the aforementioned Wild Turkey American Spirit. Wow, very nice pour. Really lovely and floral. The wife even had some!

WT Kentucky Spirit on Thanksgiving Day, 101 on the Friday (among others), & WT Tradition on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

So you taking the Tradition in your flask to the game on Saturday or taking the entire bottle for pre-game?
