Gotta keep this on my radar!!!

IPA is my favorite beer.

Scotch is my favorite whiskey.

I love Weller. It’s great for the money. If I’m not mistaken, it’s part of the same grain build as Pappy.

Not my everyday but my favorite bourbon that isn’t super hard to get is Blantons. I love that stuff.

Never had Glenfiddich. Is it peaty/smokey or pretty mellow?

TXSTYLE · 02-22-2019, 01:01 PM

It is a highland so it will not be smokey at all. It will be similar to Glenlivet or Arbelour.

Hawkeye · 02-22-2019, 03:42 PM

Dang TX, those look like a meal on top of the drink. Too much sweet for me but the lime marg on the rocks looks pretty tasty.

Thought so. Thanks.

I asked about it at our local store, but the owner hadn't seen it yet. He said he'd get some in if he could find it. So I'm back to Proper Twelve.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Neither of those are easy to get, at least at retail. The last bottle of Blanton's I bought was $120 on the secondary

It's 3:00 AM. It's my booze or the highway :-)

Blantons is pretty good, it's worth retail price but not secondary prices. Retail is ~65 and is what I buy it for when I see it.

Had a few gems over the weekend

Agree on the Blanton’s, it’s good but not worth paying markup prices.

UncleWede · 02-25-2019, 12:42 PM

My BILIL broke out the Kirkland Signature 20yo (bottled by Aberlour) and poured me 2 fingers over 2 ice. Would drink again, not any idea of the price.

From what I've observed, once you get super rich you buy strictly generics

Hence why I haven't yet turned in my PowerBall ticket.
