SPIRITS OF THE GAME By AZ Golf Insider Staff Holiday cheer! POP A CORK ON THESE GREAT GIFT-GIVING IDEAS FOR 2014 > Fine blend of Blue Warm, ‘Fuzzy’ feeling
The brainchild of 1979 Masters and 1984 U.S. Open winner Frank “Fuzzy” Zoeller, you’ll love to give or receive this American- made treat — Fuzzy’s Ultra Premium Vodka. The 10- time PGA Tour and 2002 Senior PGA Championship winner spent nearly four years creating a vodka that exceeded his tastes and preferences. Distilled five times from corn and the addition of pristine spring water result in exceptional flavor
and a smooth, crisp finish. A wonderful conversation piece, shake over ice and serve up with an olive.

Dazzle your weekly foursome with a dram of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, created from the rarest and most exclusive whiskeys in the world by John Walker and his son, Alexander.

Each whiskey within the blend is its own intense experience, so that when combined, they create something altogether special. Smoke, sherry, vanilla-spice and peatiness notes are all found within this exceptional scotch. Available at Total Wine and BevMo retailers statewide.
