MrPatrick Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I was at the grocery store store waiting on the pharmacy to fill an antibiotic scrip for my respiratory infection. While waiting I was in the liquor aisle talking whiskey with a gentleman. He asked the manager to open the lock up to get a Macallan. He didn’t have the box, but brought out a bottle of their Estate Scotch. He handed him that to look at and handed me a bottle to look at. He said it sounds like you know your Whiskey by your recommendations to the other shoppers. He said he only gets one a year. Here’s what he handed me. Bought it. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven friends will be receiving those. What a nice deal. For myself I grabbed a Binny’s pick Knob Creek that was 14 years 10 months and received a gift of a different Binny’s pick that is almost 11 years. Also received a Rare Breed and a Rowan’s Creek. Not shabby. I am guessing the Old Forester sets were at Costco? They are a good deal. I am hoping there are a few bottles of the Binny's KC picks still floating around when my friend hits Binny's during his Christmas trip next week.

Radioyada Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Last big purchase for the year. Not all of the bottles are for me though, as a couple of coworkers are relying on my pitiful expertise to help them with some gifts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $3 more than the bottle alone and totally worth for some cool sturdy mugs. My boss just gave me a set of those mugs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT is funny I was going to beak off about my resentment of the whole "working class ethics" advertising slant on that one (reminds me of truck advertising), but when your boss sees it and makes a good joke out of a (still legitimate) gift, that's funny.

Ahh the old crotch shot. And to think many of us are here on SB instead of local facebook groups to avoid just that kind of thing, Lol. But I digress; congratulations on scoring an excellent bottle of whiskey. I love that stuff. Tastes great- enjoy!

DeepCover Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I just returned from a trip to Connecticut and brought these guys back. Amazingly these were all gifts. I’m truly grateful to have friends like this. Admittedly it’s also an added bonus to have a friend that owns a LS. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of the bottles are for me though, as a couple of coworkers are relying on my pitiful expertise to help them with some gifts. That bottle of Whistle Pig VI is very special. There were only 1,000 of those that made it into the States (by mistake according to the Whistle Pig folx). They sent me an e-mail over Black Friday with the following info: "Only 1,000 of these special Katakana bottles exist throughout the US. To prove you've found a genuine WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey finished in Japanese Umeshu Barrels, we offer you the option to register your bottle. In return we will send you an official certificate of authenticity, signed by Master Blender Pete Lynch, including a message from our Umeshu partner at Kitaya Brewery in Japan."

Yeah, it’s been a couple of years since I’ve had a pour, but I really like it. I’m giving a friend a bottle of CEHT SiB today. He’s having a minor outpatient surgery, so I figure it’s the least I can do. Nothing wrong with some good whiskey karma, especially during the holidays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double C's Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I picked up an ECPB B519 at lunch. I was hoping that they would have gotten the C919 by now but no such luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
