They had a "drawing" at our local ABC store this weekend. There were over 400 folks there who got tickets and if your # was drawn, you got to choose one of the available bottles to purchase. When the bottles were gone it was over. I believe there were around 75 total bottles including various types of Pappy Von Winkle, Elijah Craig, Blanton's and others. My son was one of the lucky winners, probably into the second half of the winners. He purchased a bottle of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof to enjoy. You had to be a county resident to purchase. Apparently this is a once a year thing that we just found out about.

Living the life.....relaxed style. At Sunrise Springs spa near Santa Fe with my spouse. Only an hour from home but it feels much further. Thanks to @Yakster for the smoke!
Friends don't let good friends smoke cheap cigars.
I don't usually drink Bourbon straight, but Dawn got me a,bottle of 4 Roses small batch and it's very nice. I'm pairing it with a Trinidad TTT. Very tasty.

Last night was a bourbon fest at my parents house for Christmas . Buffalo trace, Eagle rare, barrel picks of knob creek, four roses small batch and single barrel, Elijah Craig barrel proof, Woodford double oaked, old elk and I might be forgetting some.
Team O'Donnell FTW!

Just picked up a bottle of the small batch last Friday. It does pair great. I’m getting more into whiskeys/bourbons and enjoying the thread.
I was gifted a bottle of this Crown which is pretty good!
If I could retire 3 years earlier I wouldnt need the alcohol

My dad is a huge bourbon snob. I can’t stand to smell the stuff. I have heard him talk about Japanese bourbon or whiskey. I would like to get him some for Christmas but don’t have a clue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
One on the left is Ok and affordable. One on the right is for ballers like you.
Nah, real ballers would drop $1500 on the Hibiki 21 Year. It's my unicorn just to taste it.
A lot of the Japanese stuff is more akin to Scotch than bourbon. They're frequently peated. I love that flavor profile, but most strictly Bourbon guys don't, so be careful.
Another possibility outside the bourbon / Japanese route is to go with an unpeated Scotch. One I've had some bourbon lovers try is Bruichladdich Islay Barley Rockside Farm 2007. It's an Islay Scotch minus the peat smoke process of drying the grain. It's in the $50-80 range depending on locale. 50% ABV and needs a couple drops of water, but it's pleasantly sweet with vanilla and honey flavors. One of my current favorites and I saw it just a month ago on the shelf while I was traveling.
$1500 for Hibiki 21 is way over paying. You can get it for around $500, the 30 year is in the $3000 range.
