These new glencarin glasses are awesome. Much bigger and heavier than standard glencarin. Action shot in a bit

Are these what you got or is there something else out there?

Unc I booked it at this time last year. When I looked in November, the Hampton Inn was completely booked and the other places were raising their rates. Best bet is to book within the next month and cancel if you must.

Edit: There are a few motels in town too and a few places outside of town. Motels obviously not being as nice and we choose to stay in town, because, well, bourbon and lots of it to drink each day.

Not sure. My pops wants to go every other year, whereas i'd like to go back again and try to knock out a few more distilleries.

Looks pretty damn sharp! I'll have to see how the smaller ones fit in my bar freezer. It has racks for glasses like martinies. If it will hang the small glens I may keep them in there.

with a glass that big you might as well drink out of a Rastal TEKU and only need one set of glasses. i use my teku for beer, wine, and bourbon.

As for the bourbon fest somebody tell me what to do (where and when) and I'll book the room(s). I'm going to bypass the "motel" for a hotel.

DBP, in what city is the Hampton Inn? Also, are some days better than others for the festival? Meaning should I book a room for the entire time or only certain days?

Same here. Let me know what dates you plan on attending. Is it Loretto?
