    Big swing and a miss on the lottery

    At least you were in the game. I stopped by my liquor store today and found out the owner, his son, and another employee bought the three bottles of Pappy they received.
    Flipper - on a positive note I will use the info presented here to stock my cabinet and impress my friends when they come over. :glasses: all while spinning audiophile records on my turntable...

    Picked up a couple bottles of Blantons today. I will probably stash one of them, how long should I hide it?

    Nice! I don't really hide my Blanton's away as much as just pulling it out for a drink occasionally. I tend to drink Buffalo Trace as a go to with the Blanton's as a special treat. Let us know what you think!
    this city is so filthy, like my mind in ways

    Blanton's is available from the distillery gift shop, so while somewhat rare to find in one's local liquor store, it's definitely not an investment.

    I'd say open a bottle and enjoy it with friends/family over the holidays, and save the other bottle for the spring/summer, but that's just my take. In any event, enjoy!

    Should add that I have a friend with some very rare bourbons that is still looking for a Benny. If anyone is looking for some of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, and has a Benny, I can put you in touch.

    Since on the topic of Bourbon, I was able to score a bottle of Four Roses Private Selection OBSO 8th Edition. Not sure exactly how this works, but Pennsylvania was only provided with 180 bottles and the label says it was specially selected by Fine Wine & Good Spirits, which is the main provider of spirits in PA. I recall having a discussion with someone awhile ago about Four Roses. Something about their single barrel private selection and how they allow states to opt in to receive it. When they do opt in they are only given a small amount. I'm sure theres a bit of a marketing trick at play here, but either way, its a good bourbon.

    None of them look opened. Saving for special occasions? Love the Makers Mark Ambassador gifts from this year. My current bottle is adorned with the last three Xmas gifts (Sweater, Ear Muffs and Mistletoe).

    None are opened. I don't drink. :confused: , but I love the process of making it, the bottles..Its a weird collection, my wife just goes along with it...

    and the Makers Mark marketing department are some of the best... I actually look forward to seeing what gift I get each year. Anytime I am up in KY, I visit as many distillerys as I can, and I always make a point to go there.

    Hard to pin point it all in just a couple photos, but here is my downstairs bar and what I keep in the dining room cabinet. Sorry the lighting is bad. All for consumption, when one is gone...I get another.
