Favorite time of the year...

So it happened, the holiday gift pack liquor was just being stocked yesterday. I always buy a few, and the quality of the accompanying gift makes a large influence on my purchases throughout the following year.

Picked up Knob Creek bourbon, came with a couple silver rimmed rocks glasses. First time buying it, loved it, will definitely become a regular guest at my house.

By contrast, the Stolichnaya packs were half gallons only; and while the box art was touting the Moscow Mule (vodka, lime, ginger ale, served in a copper mug), I was hoping to see a copper mug included. Instead they packed in 4 cans of ginger ale and directed you to their website to buy them. Now I like my Stoli, but I'm in Michigan, and here your ginger ale is Vernor's, nothing else comes close. :rockin: I don't see many of these selling in Michigan...

Aside from that, I plan on getting a Bombay Sapphire Gin (nice cocktail glass).

Anyone else dig on these? See any cool ones in your area?

These things kill my wallet! But my mind just says...that glass is cool and I want it.

I love picking up those gift packs because you typically pay the same for the booze but get some glasses or something as well, always a good time.

It's also that time of year where the 1 and only delivery of a special kind of Bourbon makes its way into a few lucky people's hand. I'm "blessed" to have been provided the option of getting a bottle two years in a row now. Hopefully I get a 15/20/23 yr next year to add to the collection.
