Kyjd75 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Well, here is my haul for Christmas. I gifted myself the BBC Discovery#3 last week, the rest my lovely wife presented to me this morning. Not bad. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal00768 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I did not receive any bottles of booze this year, so I will live vicariously through the rest of you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhettro Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Not quite bourbon, but I figured since it’s a delivery device for said brown stuff, it was worth sharing here. The wife gifted me a pair of these Denver & Liely bourbon glasses that I’ve been eyeing for the better part of a year. I could never bring myself to pull the trigger, so I was elated when my wife did. Edited December 26, 2020 by Rhettro 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I'm not going to be able to visit you in PA anytime soon to try yours, I'm going to see if I can snatch one somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ever make it to Pittsburgh in better times, I’m happy to have you check one out. If you grab one, let me know what you think. I’m impressed.

Saturday (12/26) had belated Christmas dinner at wife's cousin's house. We are very close to these particular relatives and always exchange gifts. I received a bottle of regular KC Single Barrel 120 proof. Hey, I'll take that anytime! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked them up as stocking stuffers for my wife. She loves them. The bourbon is solid, for a young whiskey and not as thin as I thought it would be. A little vanilla, caramel, maybe a little oak? It's pretty good but, after seeing the price, (~$48.00), there are a lot of better choices at that price point. I would really like to try their rye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wilderness Trail high rye mash BiB (black label) is really good. Not "young" at all. IMO, better than any of the New Riff bottles I've had so maybe the $50 price is not unwarranted.

I'm a New Riff, (and rye),whore...but I only get it from a friend of mine, (who actually lives within walking distance of the distlllery), when it goes on sale at her local LS. It's usually around $35.00. I do want to snag a bottle of the Wilderness Trail rye, and do an sbs with the New Riff Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
