Give it to a non-Jew as a holiday gift and be done with it. If it was a valuable bottle is another story.

But that's just me.
if it is its assur bhanah iinm, if theres no hanaah it might be lo seichaneim

Overall shipping cost goes up a little bit per bottle. But the individual shipping (when divided equally per bottle) goes down the more you add.

You know anyone making a Simcha in the next few weeks / months? Pitch this as a great way for them to save $$$ compared to local prices (even when factoring in shipping costs).
maybe s/o here is making a simcha? :)

I have an unopened bottle of 1792 thats been sitting on my shelf for quite some time. It's a Shaila of Chometz she'avar alav ha'pesach if it was made after 2009. There's no real way for me to find out. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Isn't Safek Drabanan Lekulah?

Is Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey OK? The CRC says better to avoid Irish whiskey with a special finish but they don't list rum barrels as one of the finishes. Is it a problem? (Better question may be is it any good, but one step at a time).

I received 2 bottles as holiday gifts. 1) 18 yr chivas 1.75 lt (with leather box) 2) Patron 1.75 silver tequila.

Not a fan of either, do stores exchange (like seforim?).

Not familiar with the whiskey, but rum finish unto itself shouldn't present an issue.

Probably has a stronger kick than any other bourbon I've had.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

You may want to sell it to a friend or here if a store won't take it for credit.  There's an active market for booze.

wine or booze? for wine I've used kosherwine.com I would also consider getting a local store to deliver, it's a little classier.

I had a superb bourbon at a kiddush recently but don't remember the name (did I drink too much?). It had a very heavy cap which was a solid piece of metal sculpted like the head of an eagle. Anyone know what it is?
