What Are You Drinking During The Apocalypse?

[cowdery]

It's the end of the world. What's the last thing you want to drink before you die?

It has to be something you have in your bunker now because, "of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." Mark 13:32

[ChainWhip]

Ardbeg Corryvreckan or Uigeadail - peat & smoke before I go to...

[squire]

This is not a trick question is it? I mean I can have both a woman and a bottle, right?

[Happyhour24x7]

BMH 16 and Very Old Scout 19, Bowman SB. Maybe some Willets if I have time.

[ratcheer]

Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit. Or Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2002 release. Or both.

Gotta crack my Lagavulin 30, just to know what it tastes like before I go. I would happily trade places with edo though. Would have gone rye, but I like the idea of fire and brimstone being greeted by peat and smoke from my final glass. If I have time I'll move on to the very last of my Longrow 7 Barolo finish, before approaching a CS BlackAdder Bowmore 14.

I'm hitting my last bottle of :bowdown:Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye from the initial release (before they started adding letters to the bottle numbers.) ... Probably have to share it with my wife :icon_pidu:, ... so then on to the Old Rip Rye from the same era. Doubt I'll have to share much of that one :drinking:. Finally, one of my Blanton's Straight from the Barrel (if I can still reach for it :deadhorse:.)

[unclebunk]

So many choices and my picks may change within the next five minutes but I think I'd go out with Pappy 15, something from WT (either CGF or 12 year old split label) and some Lagavulin 16. Damn. I forgot the Four Roses. And what about some rye? And a few beers?:grin:

If it's only one thing and I have to already have it, then Port Ellen 9th Edition 1979/2009 30 Year Old.

[Wryguy]

Great idea for a thread Chuck!

Probably reaching for some 4R 2012 SmB LE.

[Wryguy]

I second that!

And Wryguy, maybe we should meet in the middle and enjoy 60 years of aged Islay?

[Yeti]

I'll grab a 1970 Bowmore and 1981 Brora before I hit the road. What the hell, right? Might as well drink our way out of here. Just don't tell Chuck we're breaking the rules :-)

This does remind me that I am going to have to drink these treasures some day...

[TomH]

Since it's the last day, I'll pour Compass Box The Last Vatted Malt....I bought my first bottle because I could pass up the jab at the SWA and discovered that it was an exception blended malt....and if I have time for a 2nd pour, I'll crack open Compass Box The Last Vatted Grain.

I'm staying away from my smokey Islay's....figure if it is the Apocalypse there might be a lot of smoke in my future !

[smokinjoe]

Just to cover my bases, I'm going to first sip on the Angel's Envy. :pope:

Then, I guess I'll open the Maker's Mark VIP bottle that I had made up when my daughter was born, and is sealed with instructions to not open until her 21st birthday in 2019. Any chance we could delay this Apocalypse thing until then? Of course, as she is entering her teen years now, I seem to live an Apocalyse in the house every day... :crazy:

[p_elliott]

Maybe it will finally give me a good reason to open that WT Tradition that keeps getting put off.

[Barclay Beach]

mmm, apocalypse whiskey...how can we arrange such a calamity?

[squire]

I'm determined not to have any special bottles left to my estate. My heirs can buy their own.

[Phil T]

Abraham Bowman rye and bourbon, probably some FR's '09 Mariage . I plan on being shit faced

[boneuphtoner]

Probably reaching for some 4R 2012 SmB LE.

You beat me to it! I've only been a bourbon enthusiast for a couple of years, but choosing this one would be easy!

[erborman]

I am amazed how many are not picking bourbon!

For me, I open my last bottle of A.H. Hirsch. No reason to let it go to waste.

It's the apocalypse! What are drinking?:grin:

[squire]

Oh I'll be drinking Bourbon, at least two bottles since I have two hands.

[RT Fan]

Providing that my wife is with me for the end of the world, it would be Champagne. My wife doesn't care for brown liquor. If I'm alone, I'll drink the last of my S/W Van Winkle 20 year. Or maybe the Stagg, might want to go out with a bang.
