I haven't been around these parts much lately, but I had to drop in and give my thanks to an awesome HOG.

A few months ago, I saw some pictures of some glassware that I absolutely had to have. Lucky for me, the kind HOG who posted the pictures agreed to pick me some up the next time he was able, and despite my disappearing from the forums AND moving halfway across the country, he got in touch with me recently to let me know he had a chance to snag some glasses for me, and he was gonna put them in the mail. They got here today, and they are every bit as awesome as I thought they would be.

So thanks to Scot, an awesome HOG and all around good guy, for hooking me up!

I was too anxious to actually take a drink, so I didn't set up to take proper pictures, but I wanted to snap some quick shots to show off my new glasses. Here they are, including some INFI content:

Welcome back, we've missed you. :grumpy:

Yep, Hogs are Good People....

even to those fallen from grace. ;)



:D




I have some Scotch Whisky glasses that are similarly shaped. Very nice. :thumbup:
 
That is one sexy Satin Jack...

Great looking glasses there. I haven't been able to find any Pappy down here except for the $250 a bottle kind. While I certainly don't mind dropping some cash on a nice bottle of single malt, $250 is getting into INFI money territory. I just can't do it.
 
The most I've spent on a bottle was around a Benjamin on the 20 year old. Honestly, after tasting the 10 and 12 year expressions, the 20 isn't worth the cash. The 10, at $30 a bottle, and the 12, for $10 more, are excellent bourbons. Local liquor stores seem to have the 10 in stock pretty regularly, and the 12 on occasion.


All are fine drinks, and only made better by nice glassware that concentrates the nose and really lets you enjoy a quality bourbon. I might have to sip a glass or three of scotch from these same glasses, too ;)
 
Who are you again? :p

I really want to try the 15 year. I've read it's among the best of the batches. This year, I did manage to get some 10 and 12.
 
All you guys with your real world prices.... Sheesh!!! :rolleyes:

Where I'm at you'll pay $30 for a fifth of Black Velvet. I'm sure some the northern Alaska HOGS will pipe in, but in some of the "dry villages" up there you will pay over $200 for a fifth of BV.

I don't even look at the good stuff because I just can't afford it. I do enjoy a reasonably priced bottle of Pendleton every once in a while though. :)
 
That is a real looker there. I am usually not a SJ fan, until this version. Something about the solid bolts and the smooth handles. The Satin saber is not hurting anything either.
 
Welcome back, stick around this time. You missed it while you were gone... cg sar8 in bama clay.
 
I'm surprised no one has commented on the change in the liquid level in the glass between the first and second picture. Not much time passed between those two, but apparently it was enough.... :D :thumbup:
 
nice Glencarin glasses, I have some too.

as for the Van Winkle bourbon - the 15yr is the deal, IMO, followed closely by the 12yr.

both are truly fantastic bourbons.

and welcome back...

That's the first thing that went through my mind.:cool:
 
hey mustard man, good to hear from you, nice glasses, still waiting on you to send me that sj smooth bolt aaaaaaaaaand come to blade, if you can.
 
I actually had the smooth bolt listed on the exchange, but I found some dings in the tip so I think I'll have to hang onto it. Darn ;)
 
Just glad I could help out a fellow Pappy Van Winkle fan. The 15yr is a steal if you can ever find it. I prefer the 15/20 yr varieties but you can't go wrong with any of Old Rip Van Winkles products. There is another set of glasses heading to TX as well.

Good to hear from you again.:)

You have excellent taste in Bourbon ... and I definitely like those glasses.

Hoping Denver is being hospitable to you and yours.:thumbup:
