Lovely observation: it's been burning for about 4 hours today, and I have to say, my bourbon-scented barrel candle from Woodford Wicks is magnifico! The place seems so much more cozy with the warm, inviting scent wafting about. Makes me enjoy the fall weather with a good book on the couch that much more. Probably not a surprise to learn it was recently acquired en route from Bourbon Country...but it is a surprise to see that all the online vendors appear to be selling them for about double what I paid. To be sure, there's a million bourbon-scented candles out there (and FYI the vanilla bourbon flavor is pretty hard to beat), but mine is the wooden-wick kind that lasts about 120 hours and crackles as it burns. Apartment life with no fireplace - you gotta make do the best you can!
I want one! It is raining here on the West Coast now & I could use that nice bourbon-scented candle to make things a lot cozier in my apt. Since I don't have the candle, perhaps a nice bourbon cocktail would do the job to warm the constitution. Any suggestions?
