$25 SPG Award Certificate -- good for things charged to the folio.

Last year, I got a free night which I redeemed in London. ^

On US VDB cert which works.

Basically, if one can see it on the US site it can be booked with a US VDB "take flight certificate."

Good - I didn't want you to get a rude surprise with UA ...

Eagle Rare is a top-flight Bourbon in the $30/bottle range. Best value/taste for $$$ Bourbon I've found.


And Woodford is also in the same price point ;)

This might be true but it is just 2.5 hours to Woodford country!! Got the brochure and everything!! Now for a designated driver!!

We had a Keeneland (horse racing) / Barbecue / Lexington / Woodford Do last fall.

I ate a couple of the Woodford chocolate balls and liked them but I find Woodford undrinkable. Is this:

A) My lack of a palate for dark liquor
B) Due to the presence of chocolate
C) Neither A nor B
D) Both A and B
E) None of these are correct.

In case anyone's wondering what Copa's talking about, I smuggled a couple boxes of these into the Devils game for Hockey Do.

IMHO, Eagle Rare is superior to Woodford. Woodford is a decent blend, but Eagle Rare is just incredible. It's a single barrel product, so there can be some variation between bottles. I haven't had a bad one yet, though. :D

I'm not ruling out another one of these this season. I get the good prices by piggybacking my mother's group which has to be a Flyers game, but I am willing to explore buying cheaper seats for an FT-only event.

I do like single barrels (and single malts); I also like enjoying the same thing aboard aircraft as I drink at home (SkyTeam USA was brilliant on that choice).

ARRRGH.

The :-:A RTW tool does not update itself up to the point of including CO.

CO only excels at Gin. All their other onboard liquors are teh suck.

Is it wrong that my first thought was the beauty of the bottle? Then again, this from the guy who has 20+ American Bald Eagle pieces of art.
