I also got some vouchers ...

Matthew: Mrs Musky brought the same 3 pack from Edmonton and gifted it to me this morning. I've not yet opened and sampled them yet. Also received an iPOD Nano from my daughter and a large flat screen TV for the Lair from another family member - along with a voucher for the LCBO!

Musky is very very happy.

A set of beautiful crystal decanters and brandy snifter glasses

I know it's not super duper to keep whisky in but it looks really good.

by **irishwhiskeychaser** » Mon Dec 28, 2009 11:13 pm

I insisted that I should only get 1 bottle this christmas but said I'd not be bother if I got none ...

Hey presto I got a lovely surprise of a Laphroaig 15yo.

Delighted as it is getting hard to come by now.

by **jhershauer** » Mon Dec 28, 2009 11:35 pm

I had a couple of bottles under the tree on Christmas morning:

1. Laphroaig QC
2. Germain-Robin XO alambic brandy

I also bought a Scott's Selection 1977/2004 Glenlivet that was opened Christmas Eve with my in-laws. An excellent, Nadura-like 'livet.

The Germain-Robin XO brandy is amazing. If you're a sherry cask whisky lover, you really should try this. It's also very "accessible" for your friends who only drink spirits occasionally.

Same here Ganga. No one bought me anything whisky related, though thanks to Jeff, I ran over to our local shop and grabbed 2 Scott's Selections for myself (HP 1981, and OP 1977). hmm, Jeff I see some sample trading in our future.

I'm like Pooh, a bear of very little brain. (thinking hard now so it hurts) So yes, there was something. A Lagavulin 12 courtesy of my best friend. Thank you.
