I have a bottle of granddad bonded as we speak. Haven't ever made eggnog. Should I just google and find a basic recipe, or do you have anything particular that you do for your eggnog?
I feel the same way. I've been in a bourbon club the last few years and the single barrel picks have been awesome, but I'm finding myself buying less and less bourbon and I'd like to get off facebook (which is where they run the group) so I'm going to leave the group and shut down FB. I'm going to transition back to mainstream bourbons, reasonably priced store picks, and rum. Bourbon game just hasn't been that fun to me in a few years.I've come to accept the fact that I'll likely never be able to acquire the same level of bourbons that I did 5-10 years ago, and that's ok. As much as I would love any of the BTACs bottles, like that WLW, the cost and effort isn't worth it to me. I was recently offered the chance at a local shop to buy Rock Hill Farms for $400, and they thought that was a steal. They also had Lot B for $900, which ain't gonna happen. As much as I love bourbon, the pricing and availability is becoming too much to bother with trying to find any of the prized stuff.
I spent a few days in Oaxaca over Thanksgiving week and have decided that I'm going to lean in heavily to mezcal over bourbon and see how that works out. I've always liked mezcal and I'm just hoping that I can use it to cure my bourbon blues. And there are a number of places near me that I can find some decent bottles so I've been picking them up randomly over the past few weeks and it's been working out pretty well.
I'll ask the question nobody has asked yet: how much did this run you?
What kind of cream?
This is the recipe I use. Yields about a gallon. It turns out {Cousin Eddie voice} really nice.

This is me. The place I shop has everything I need (mainstreams) and if he has anything special he will usually let me know, but he also knows I am not going above about $75 for anything.I feel the same way.

What does fold in egg whites mean? Is that a fancy word for add in egg whites?
that is so motherfucking reasonableIt came from an NC ABC store so retail. With tax it was approximately $107. NC ABC gets a lot of grief but if you’re in a fair and honest county it can work pretty well for the buyer.
How much was your calendar?Jesus Whiskey 15 is Dailuaine 15 Year Old 2005 (cask 13904) - Old Particular (Douglas Laing) (96.8 pf). Oh wow, this hits hard with chocolate and orange. Like eating one of those Lindt truffles. A little bit of oakiness and a nice sweetness. Very very smooth, but still has a robust flavor. This is defs one of my favorites so far. Really solid scotch and one I would love to have again.
