Yes, it is treating me right, I'm having a few sips right now. Thanks for the recomendations, but unfortunately the range of labels available over the counter here in Oz is pretty poor. Regardless, I am always on the lookout for something new that I have not had before.

Can you order online and have it shipped? While living in Germany, I had a lot of success finding and buying good bottles at good prices on Amazon.de.
Nothing better than the Amazon driver dropping off 6 bottles for a delivery!

Again, the RB12 is a solid bottle and always a great choice.
Enjoy!

Ahhhh. One of my all time favorites. Been drinking it since the early 90s.
That is a VERY generous pour they have you.

You could try contacting the purchasing agent for your local liquor stores to see about special ordering things they don't stock. I've also had some luck going directly to the distributors' local agents. Even if they don't have things available right then, they can tell you if they are eligible to import and are usually willing to put in special orders. For some brands this requires buying cases or lots of 3+ so you may want to go into it with friends.

Our market is purely big chains and they dictate what is available. But what a dumbass am I? I work at a liquor DC, and I have learned that we sell to staff. I'll have a look through the inventory we stock, then make a few choice selections.

Picked up a couple of bottles...Whistle Pig 10 years and Knob Creek Small Batch 100 proof

Whiskey kills corona virus, right? I'm thinking a shot or two every hour ought to keep the pipes clean.

So, we find ourselves at End of Days, with the apocalypse just 2 weeks away....lets be prepared

I'll have to work remote for the next two weeks minimum so, figured its time to stock up for the battle..of the sanity of staying home!!!!!

Sadly, TW was wiped out of my blood line, Class Azul (R) so I had to settle for DJ 1942 to hold me over this week... when not drinking jack and vino double fisted that is!!!!

luckily a really great wine supply is on the way next week

...don't hoard....stay sane, drink more

M_Six · 03-16-2020, 10:41 PM

Which is better, Gentleman Jack or Jack Single Barrel?

m630 · 03-16-2020, 10:47 PM

Single barrel by a long shot, the gents is for late nite after way toooo many

Thanks. I'll have to try that.

m630 · 03-16-2020, 11:05 PM

Definitely worth with!! There are a few options to be aware of, especially at TW...they offer their own special label which is the exact same bottle just $15-$20 more as its a TW selection..avoid it as a marketing ploy! They sell single barrel for 48(+ taxes) while they market their TW select bottle at ~$65(+tax)exact same bottle of liquor just marketing bs.
They also sometimes have Barrel Proof, its ~131proof! Yum but dangerous if u dont realize it!

Finally my fav single barrel is a special blend that is only found at ....duty free if you can imagine.
US sourced single barrel is 94 proof while Single Barrel Travel edition is 100 proof and noticably smoother...when i travel or have fam/friends travel back from europe I have them pick me up a few each year...but the local single barrel is great!

Back and forth between Jameson's and Jameson's IPA Cask. About to run out, but maybe a week off to let the liver recoup won't be a bad thing.
