Well, I did ask her Why?! She had a fairly legitimate reason for the mistake. Bulliet bottles both labels (Orange=Straight & Green=Rye) in two sizes, 750ml and 1.75l. I said I want the large bottle with the orange label, but when she was standing in front of the shelf, the only orange labeled bottles were small, and only the green labeled bottles were large. She bought the green because it was large, and I specifically stated large, because of the economy of scale.
So, it was actually my fault. But I'm a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess.
My buddy Nathan was on vacation in Wisconsin where this stuff is made and brought some over today. Pinot-finished bourbon and a brandy. So far so good.
He brought me a Goliath too...
