Christmas gifts for the whiskey drinker

[kjbeggs]

For those looking to save some cash, but wanting a selection of glencairns for larger tastings, I tried out the bellemain glasses from amazon...$18.90 (prime price) for 6, and they're nearly identical to the glencairn. The base just feels ever so slightly more rounded or something....http://www.amazon.com/Bellemain-Oz-Whisky-Glass-Set/dp/B00IAVQMCG/ref=sr_1_6?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416509709&sr=1-6&keywords=glencairn

That's a nice find!

I guess I'm old school, but how about a bunch of whiskey? I've been dropping hints for a store select KCSB 120 proofer. It's not expensive, but Mrs. Jvd99 likes to buy bottles I haven't tried yet.

Don't forget these! They work amazingly well.

Yes, these do. Got them last year. SO, when I get given a bourbon that is (a) too hot, ( not to my liking neat, etc., I use one of these. I keep a big spoon nearby to fish it out - is much easier than trying to manage multiple cubes especially on the second or third round.

I'm intrigued by the 4R barrel top. Just got to figure out where to hang it that will be ok with MrsTT

sailor22, good book. I am up to the chapter where they start talking about the regions. I bought it to learn about other whiskeys besides bourbon (while cheering for bourbon to win all the way!). I think it will make a great book for someone wanting to learn about bourbon and/or whiskey.

I am asking for a coupe glass for my Manhattans. Last year I received a great stirring spoon from Cocktail Kingdom.
