A rye whiskey tonight <Name Omitted> followed by a 15 y/o <name omitted> with a splash of water. Tasty.

what the hell is with the "name omitted" crap. Did you have too much and forgot what you are drinking? Again?

I shall not speak their name! Not adding to the hyseteria in any way.

I was looking forward to opening a Party Source Weller Antique and a bottle of Old Ezra (never tried it before) that were due to be delivered today, among others. But the package apparently ended up at one of my neighbor's apartments, who thoughtfully signed my name and kept my box for himself. And people say the holiday spirit is dead.

You know, that's a good idea. I'll knock on some doors tomorrow. I think we can safely cross off the Mormons who live next door, but everyone else is a suspect.

I had a pour of Lot B today as well, but added a splash of WLW 2012 to up the proof. It wasn't that great at first but got much better as the glass sat. The flavors integrated well toward the end and definitely added some heat to the finish

A while back I had a very thin tasting bottle of OWA and made a habit of adding a splash of WLW. It wasn't so much to up the proof as it was to add some body and flavor...the result was fantastic.

I've been mixing WLW and OWA lately and the result is wonderful. The combo reduces the coma-inducing effects of drinking WLW straight without compromising flavor. Using the Kahn's single barrel OWA is particularly tasty.

I did the same last night, in a manner of speaking. I started out with a few Belgian beers and then moved on to bourbon. First up was a nice pour of "old label" OWA--always a favorite. Then I had a decent pour of '08 WLW with a drop of water which was superb. Finally, I decided to mix the two with a 2:1 ratio of OWA to WLW. Fantastic! Then I fell asleep in my chair with the New York Dolls cranking on the headphones. Those guys were real somnambulists 'cause I was out like a log!:grin:

If I were you, that's the first door I would knock on! Just sayin ...

Some of the "good stuff" tonight. Jeffersons Presidential Reserve 18 followed by 4R sbLE 12. You can really get spoiled drinking this!

After a long day home with my sick son the monotony of the day is over,so a pour of OWA and W12 should fit the bill nicely.

I think I would be tracking down the delivery guy, particularly if you have a package number (wouldn't the store know that?) so you can know exactly who the thief is.

We're on the same wavelength. FedEx is sending the delivery guy to my address tomorrow, and seem eager to figure out what happened, no doubt because the package contained alcohol. Of course, he claims the package was delivered to me, at my address, and that I signed for it, even though none of that happened, so I'm not sure how productive our talk will be.

Incidentally, I can't say enough good things about the customer service at the Party Source. I can be a cynical, NY-bred SOB, but the people at the Party Source could melt the stoniest heart. Between Jay, who always seems to be available via email or phone, and the very helpful people in the shipping department, they've got a very devoted customer in me. Plus, their recent Weller Antique picks have been spot-on.

FWIW,most Fed Ex route trucks are contracted by individuals and if the problem is not resolved it is their issue and not Fed Ex itself.The problem will be resolved I have been in this situation myself,if it is not you will be reimbursed by the contracted individual if it gets that far.The fact they did not confirm the deliver it is in their lap and they won't won't to want the contract owner to find out of the failure to these set rules.Good Luck,you will be ok it may just take some time.
