Christmas miracle?

I just bought a 1 year membership to Flaviar - $300. (I am kind of wishing that I didn't almost immediately after I pulled the trigger)
I know @Saoliver is in on a gift from his wife for 1 quarter year. Any thoughts on this service?

I selected FEW straight bourbon for my 1st bottle and "the craft side of bourbon" for my 3 samples

Mine was 1/2 year. The free shipping is nice, if you plan to buy a bunch of bottles. There are some hard to find bottles, but they are marked up of course. I’ll buy a bunch that I’ve been wanting, but I don’t think that I will renew.

 

[Copper44]

Apparently I should have went booze shopping today!

Gifts for the Patriarchy.
How did I do?
Which is the “gem”?View attachment 601311


I know nothing about whiskey.

That knob creek is fantastic, and was #2 on whiskey advocate's top 20 a year or two ago.

I only have the 14, so nothing to compare....yet. I am actively looking for the 15.

My cousin dropped off a bottle and drove off. Love her!

Oh right. I misread your bottle, thought you had the 15. I’ll report how this one is ASAP

You have the 15?!?

I think this is the 15. I just scored it today randomly. Super lucky score. It was $100 but I gladly paid that

#3 nightcap

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

#3 - Lots of caramel on the nose for me on this one. Also light oak. Smells like something I would normally drink.

Taste: This one is delicious. Sweet caramel but nice and warm. Toasted. Almost butterscotch. Some vanilla up front and a lasting peppery finish. Going with 120ish proof

 

[Saoliver]

#3 nightcap

I get vanilla, caramel and some light oak on the nose.

Taste is spice throughout. Vanilla, caramel, maybe toasted marshmallow. Long spicy finish.

Soooooo good.

Cheers!

Just bought a few bottles of Weller Special reserve off Buzz bottle, I know I overpaid, but they don't sell weller in my state. I need to contat the state liquor commission and convince them.

 

[RocAFella1]

Finally digging into this bottle share. Merry Christmas whisk(e)y gang!

 

[99%evil]

If anyone can get Weller on the reg. and can't get Eaglinge Rare for less than $40 let me know. We can swap bottles. I can get Eagle Rare everyday, but my state doesn't buy Weller (only state liquor stores where I am)

And this is what my brother gave me back. I just went ahead and took care of the neck pour. Good sipper.

Got a Glenfiddich 12 for a gift today. Also made a killer smoked prime rib roast and smoked macaroni and cheese. Was a good day!
