That’s
definitely where she got it.
I called around this morning and confirmed what I suspected, that I waited too long and they’re all sold out (at least around here). We go to Costco every other week or so, and I wish I would’ve thought about it and picked one up earlier in the fall, but here in MN the liquor “section” is legally required to be completely separate from the rest of the store, with its own entrance and checkout, so I don’t always go in there unless I know I need something. (Cuts down on impulse purchases
, but also you can also miss stuff like this if you don’t stop in often enough.)
I am looking forward to following along, Dylan, and since you’ve got the beer advent calendar, and Greg has wine covered, I thought I might do a sort of DIY whiskey advent calendar. I don’t really have a bunch of unique, interesting bottles — I would say my whiskey “collection” is, overall, very pedestrian — but I do have enough bottles to make it work, so why not? (Maybe I’ll pick up a couple new things to try between now and Christmas, just to keep it interesting.)
For December 1st (and just under the wire, at 11:50 pm Central time), I grabbed a bottle I had nearby, Elijah Craig Small Batch. After this, I’m going to set up some sort of system by which the whiskey for each day is predetermined, but unknown to me. I’ll get back to y’all on that tomorrow.
