My drinking has diminished quite a bit in the last year, which makes justifying the price of an expensive bottle of liquor a little more difficult. Right now, I'm working on a bottle of Woodford Reserve my kids gifted me for Christmas. I enjoy a two or three finger pour over a few ice cubes once in a while. When that is gone, I'll probably try something I haven't had before. My biggest fear is purchasing something I won't like. But the chances of that are slim. I can usually sip on a decent spirit until it's gone. The only one I could not finish was Four Roses. That stuff is awful.

I guess this would be the time to splurge on something a little more expensive since bourbon has become more of a treat nowadays.
