Congrats! Not my area of brown liquor knowledge, but I do wonder, if 4 decades isn't unicorn worthy, how special of an occasion are you waiting for? |
| 7. Author: frankj1 | Date: Thu, 5/26/2022, 10:25PM EST | |
first of all...Mazel Tov!
Can't help ya pick one, Ron, but I'd make it a two horse race between Elmer and Blantons. |

Congratulations to Annie and you!  Your wife is a saint!  As for the special occasion drink? I’d go with the Blanton’s…’cause that’s what I was gonna drink in July when Patti and I celebrate our 40th too. So what’cha gonna smoke? |

Many congrats on the milestone,
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the three. |

Congrats Ron. I have no insight on the whiskey but I would open the one you consider the best. |

Wife's birthday is your anniversary.
Happy anniversary...
Can't vote as I have never had any of the three. |

Plan ahead - Blanton's for the 40th, Weller 12 for the 50th and Elmer for the 60th.
Good luck with the hip surgery. Had both of mine done, about 10 weeks apart , in 2019. Was not a terrible experience for me. |
| 14. Author: frankj1 | Date: Fri, 5/27/2022, 11:04AM EST | |
just voted, went Elmers cuz I used to buy it all the time but have not seen it anywhere since Elmer died...except one place that was selling it for double what I had been paying for years.
I probably consider Blantons a bit better, but at least that's available once in a while near me...
and nothing wrong with Weller, just like a few a little more. |

Drink one of the Unicorns. Are they for having or are they for drinking and enjoying? |

Congrats WB! Happy Anniversary! |

Congrats, WB.
I chose Blantons. Full disclosure- haven't had the other two.

| 19. Author: deadeyedick | Date: Fri, 5/27/2022, 1:16PM EST | |
Never tasted any of them..... but I have gifted a few Elmers over the years. |

Happy Anniversary, Ron...you and Annie have reached a serious milestone and should both celebrate...let her have a taste of what you decide, then let her choose a drink for the occasion and partake of her choice...

I pulled an HDM Epi #1 from 08............its been about 5 years since we visited and as I recall the visit was quite enjoyable. |

Thanks for all the nice words fellas.........BTW went with Blanton's.I think I can replace it at msrp by years end,save the Weller 12 and ETL for my memorial. You want a taste.........be there , aloha. |

Congratulations to you both on your 40yr anniversary. That is quite an accomplishment and I'm sure took work on both sides. Well done! |
