flahute Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Not bourbon, but related. My wife got me the ingredients for making quality Sazeracs. Pacifique Absinthe, Peychaud's Bitters, and simple syrup. I already have the whiskey..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nd2005 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I didn't get any bourbon today, but I did get the neat ice kit - freezes a giant block of (supposedly) crystal clear ice and comes with a hammer and chisel.May be corny but I'm psyched to give it a try. The ice should be fully frozen by tomorrow for the test batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already enjoyed a few pours since I got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Knox Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Only thing so far is a bottle of Blanton's from my former supervisor. Fortunately, it was a letter I didn't have yet, so that's nice.The wife doesn't really know what to get me bourbon-wise, so tomorrow she's taking me shopping. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaskStrength77 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Got a Northern California bourbon (the name escapes me, it's near their house in Arnold) from the in-laws, not sure if it's any good, but I'll certainly taste it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul W Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Mrs. W asked the local boutique market liquor manager for a good bottle of bourbon and was sold 13 year old Canadian rye (Lock Stock & Barrel) instead. I am grateful but will attempt to exchange it for actual bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Tot Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Mrs. W asked the local boutique market liquor manager for a good bottle of bourbon and was sold 13 year old Canadian rye (Lock Stock & Barrel) instead. I am grateful but will attempt to exchange it for actual bourbon.In the rye section it was mentioned that a pretty spectacular vatting of that and ER10 may be one of the closest approximations to VWFRR. You might be able to use that LSB if that means anything to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryM Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Received a btl of Blantons along with a Irish crystal decanter and rocks glasses set. The decanter will come in handy for dispensing bulky 1.75 handles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I picked up a few things for myself while on a trip to Bardstown a couple of weeks ago. With my wifes blessing of course.:cool: My wife and I took a quick trip down to Bardstown this past weekend. My MM Ambassador barrel had been dumped, so we went to MM to purchase a couple of bottles from my barrel. While there, I also grabbed a couple more MMCS's. While on the way there, and on the way home, I also grabbed a few other things. My haul from the weekend: 1-dusty Woodford Reseve. 1-BT (couldn't pass this up in Indy for $19.99) 1-HH 6 yr BIB 2-MM liters from my Ambassador barrel 2-MMCS's 1-private selection KCSBR [ATTACH=CONFIG]19870[/ATTACH] Cheers!

ItsJackNow Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 My current wife didn't think I needed any more whiskey at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think she knows better than she claims to, but we're also pretty limited in NC when it comes to finding anything out of the ordinary.

Fort Knox Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 On my Christmas shopping trip with the wife today, I picked up a bottle of SAOS7 and my first ever bottle of OGD114. Gonna hit a couple of vineyards in Charlottesville tomorrow and see if I can find an ABC store there that has anything I can't get back home in Durham.

lrochau Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Some Weller 12, Elmer t lee and a bottle of rock hill farms. Bought by myself for myself and friends..... Not sure it that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
393foureyedfox Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 i didnt get any bourbons this year for xmas, but then again, I didnt ask for any either. Im pretty well set right now, and asked for tools and mustang project parts instead, and got most of what I wanted. No shortage of HH variants, KCSB, Booker's and D9 around the Fox household currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I didn't get anything from the Mrs. since I know better than to ask her for any (apparently I have too much already), but I bought myself a bottle of a Store Select Blanton's that's been around for awhile for $49.99. Haven't had Blanton's in years, so I'll probably make opening this a priority. Maybe I'll use some of the Holiday money I got to buy a bottle of Rock Hill Farms. For research purposes.
