I am looking forward to trying this in the near future - but may just vat some 5yr Willett Rye with some El Dorado 15 to get a feel for the concept

I was making light of the subject, but it really is a terrible thing. Imagine if the restaurant were substituting Aldi stew meat for Kobe beef. The...

I love Tali too. Unfortunately, this is a brand that Diageo is really starting to tinker with, and Diageo tends not to tinker in constructive ways....

I know what you mean but I gotta have my Talisker!

Yes. If buyers won't pay it, sellers won't charge it. I've been involved in other collectors circles and always remember the primary rule: Collect...

You guys are way fortunate to have access to that sort of stuff at Costco prices. No Costco stores within my driving orbit.

I tried the Benriach Authenticus (21) tonight and I get what you're saying about the "funk" - not quite as unappealing to me but I get bitterness...

We'll probably be slugging down 10 year old Rye/Bourbon hybrids by then.

Will do but think I'll wander by the liquor store first.

Okay, Squire. You can wander back off to retirement now. :grin: Really, I think that most of the shortages will manifest in the trendier bottles....

Ethics aside fraud and false pretenses are crimes and if the area chain stores are in it together it's criminal conspiracy. On the civil side I'm...

Oh man, I am pissed now that I found out TGI Fridays's was probably swapping out the high-end booze in my mudslides!

What year? I like the old and new stuff myself. Some of those S-W bottles were damn good though!

If the clientele doesn't notice, does it matter? Yeah, from an ethical standpoint, it does. Still, with the drinks that most are ordering at...

I agree with this assessment. The Lagavulin 16 iodine was what made me really fall in love with good single malts. After all the normal releases,...

Glendronach 12 PX to celebrate the end of my first year as a high school administrator. :)

Well, from another Indy resident I can tell you that I usually stock up on AAA 10yr, VOB BIB, and HH BIB Gold Label when I go to KY. You might also...

I've got them and like them. Especially the bigger ones that seem to be the same as the original whiskey ball

Yup. What he said. I think we get so caught up in chasing those old bottles that we forget there are some damned good ones sitting on the shelf at...

High West Son of Bourye. Haven't killed a bottle recently with so many open right now, this is the oldest and first to go.

I agree. Today I made a seasonal resolution to switch back to gin (and other light spirits), with a Last Word and Corpse Reviver #2 (I had only...

A little OWA 7yr. The label says Frankfort, but I swear there's at least a little bit of Louisville in this bottle. It's definitely not like the...

EC12 again for me tonight. I'll change it up for pour number 2. OGD with a little ginger ale oughta do it. If Squire could conjure a way to earn...
