Greetings Readers
The past two weeks have been very, very busy for me. Personally and work related. Now, I know why I take time off during this time of the year.
So, I think it was about two days before Christmas that me and a friend went over to the liquor store for some much needed alcohol.
I had in mind to buy some wine and even knew what I wanted to drink and purchase.
As we were going through Lukas Liquors aisles I came across the Whiskey and I saw the Jack Daniels. With it being this time of the year I am on the lookout for and seasonal gift packs that may be offered. After all I am a loyal drinker and a collector of Jack Daniels.
I saw the gift pack - that I bought the other week - the one with the two new glasses with the Jack Daniel's logo etched into the side of the glass cup.
Then, I thought to myself is there a seasonal aisle in Lukas Liquors? Sure enough I found that Aisle and was soon rewarded a Jack Daniel's seasonal gift pack - Limited Edition - sitting on the shelf.
I hope you can see from the pictures, but there are two bottles (which are limited editions and numbered) of Jack Daniels that are encased in a small enclosure that looks like a miniature glass cabinet.
The enclosure is pretty neat. Made out of wood, a clasp on the front of the doors, the windows are made out of plastic and then against the back of the cabinet is something like Mylar that reflects like a mirror giving the impression of a pretty realistic fancy cabinet. I think the cost was 80.00 or 90.00 dollars.
Each bottle had a year and number which commemorates the year of prohibition, I think, and the year Jack Daniel's begin making Whiskey once more - 1933 and 1938 (Going from Memory).
When I bought the gift pack I had thought perhaps that the whiskey may be from those years, but in reality I knew that the cost would be much more. It would have to be - right? After all the cost of a good bourbon that old is over 400.00 dollars.
Since then, I did open one bottle. The not so oldest bottle marked. The bottle is corked, which is pretty neat - just like my Single Barrel Jack Daniel's whiskey. The alcohol content is more than just the regular Jack Daniel's and lower than the Single Barrel Jack Daniel's. I have not registered the bottles, which I can do so on-line. The taste was okay, but not like the Single Barrel Jack Daniel's.
Oh, on the back of the miniature cabinet are some words about Jack Daniel's
Until the next time
