Tim, you cut me to the quick recommending 4R over RB! How could you? (not that I disagree with your analysis but I'd have to recommend RB - of course)Quote:

Yeah, I know. S&S is just a 10 minute walk away from where I live, and I truly appreciate my situation. Another favourite is Glenfiddich Warehouse nr 66, it's perhaps a bit upscale, but the have some fantastic swedish microbrews I haven't found anywhere else (Landsorts, Nynäshamns Ångbryggeri).Quote:

Sure, if he sold a full bottle att e-bay, but I mean, the whiskey didn't change, only the packaging. I have two problems with this, one is that people not in the know forks out huge amounts of money believing they're drinking the finest Kentucky has to offer when it's possibly a quite ordinary pour. The other one is that I can't bring myself to pay up for a taste on my own... :(Quote:

Strange, though, isn´t it?Quote:

I know for a fact that four or five years ago, Sweden was heads and shoulders above the rest of the world when it came to broadband connections per capita. But surely the others should have caught up by now?
I did mail him about the Lottas Home again as well but he said it was sold out. Perhaps you bought the last bottle or else he won’t sell more than one bottle per customer.Quote:

I’ve visited S & S last night. The selection of Bourbon was outstanding; I’ve tried Jim Beam Black but was not so impressed.Quote:

The strange thing was that the owner of the establishment meant that Jim Beam black is one of the most underestimated bourbons on the market.
I’ve also tried Woodford Reserve, quite nice, and Blanton’s gold, so far the most magnificent Bourbon I’ve ever tasted. Amazing!!
Now Lennart, isn't one Dane enough for any forum? Oh you mean from Denmark......:slappin:Quote:
