Been kicking this idea around a bit in my head, but after really enjoying some Gentleman Jack over the holidays, and thinking about the new year, I want 2017 to be my year of bourbon.
I've enjoyed bourbon mixed, for years, but only over the past year or two have I ventured into bourbon straight (usually on one big ice cube) and I've really enjoyed it.
My original thought was a new bottle of bourbon a week, but 52 new bottles of bourbon would last me for YEARS at the rate I drink it (and I mean good stuff, not lower shelf stuff that I would use for mixing). Not to mention the cost and the storage issue.
So then I thought, well, I'll buy a new bottle every payday ... 24 in the year, but again, storage, cost and quantity has tempered that a bit (though I haven't ruled it out!)
At this point I'm thinking a new bottle a month. That's 12 bottles of good juice to be sipped and enjoyed.
I have ideas in mind for what my purchases will be (thanks to the bourbon thread here on the first page) ... but I think I'll add and update this thread as I begin the year.
With that said ... God willing (PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE) we're set to close on a new house next week. And I plan on toasting it with a dram or two once we get settled.
And February is my birthday, so I want something really special then :)
Might venture to the store this afternoon to peruse the bottles.
