Not directly giving to anyone, but planning to take a couple of nice bottles to share with family.  Going with HWMWND and the Murray Hill Club blend.  May bring along my only bottle of OWA as well.

Every year my buddy's wife comes to me for a recommendation for him in the $40-50 dollar range. This year I recommended Russell's Reserve SiB.

 

I haven't decided what to get my brother this year. What do you get a fellow bourboner that already has everything?  Lately we've started holding our own little Christmas "lottery" between ourselves whereby we assign numbers to a few special bottles from each other's stashes, and we draw numbers to decide what we get.  It adds a little fun twist to gift giving.

Brought a bottle or W12, a 1/2 full bottle of ETL commemorative LE and Compass Box Spice Tree Extravaganza to the family holiday party.  The W12 got destroyed, finished the ETL and came home with 1/2 of the CB.  Good times with the fam

I've given out a bunch of samplers (2 oz each) for coworkers, depending on their preference. Some were more bourbon heavy, some rye heavy, and one brandy heavy. I got a 1974 L'Encantada Armagnac for the Mrs. for Christmas when I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago, so that should go over well as really likes Armagnac and I finally found one from her birth year.

I picked up a ps BT on sale for the bargain price of $21.59 yesterday. What I said about Weller SR goes for BT too. One can never have too much, especially a private selection!

Maker's Mark Private Stock pick from the Loch & K(e)y Society.  They have just a hint of maple syrup from the staves - a perfect gift for a cold winter's night by the fire!   ☺️

So I got a bottle of OGD to give to my brother yesterday and half way to my daughter’s place I realized I forgot it so I went to her neighborhood ABC and got a bottle of Eagle Rare for him instead. I was out of OGD anyway.
