Oh me too! I actually think he will. It may be 10 years from now, but I doubt he'll drink it alone. Part of the joy of having a bottle like that is sharing it with friends

Absolutely. I never open my more expensive bottles (which, for me, is $40 and up) alone. I also insist on my guests drinking it neat, at least for their first taste. I look forward to reading your review of the experience is 2027.

I try to open nicer bottles with friends too.

I don't care how they drink it, especially because some buddies are not whiskey people, they just come over for the company. I try to be polite when they bring a special beer bottle, and they reciprocate with the bourbon.

assortment of glasses. I'm gonna concentrate on Islays tonight, especially to see if I want to drop coin on another Bowmore 25 and to decide if the Lagavulin 200th anniversary 25 yr old was worth it (likely not). Will hopefully compare the Hakushu 12 and 18, too. Hope my tastebuds can hold out. Should probably start with the Japanese. Gotta watch how much vW FR Rye gets poured.

some ryes to compare

will likely get into various 4R's (some gins partly visible, another favorite)

and BT Single Oaks

will we get into this? I hope not

About time I tried this, Weller 12. So far like many things in life not living up to the hype.

Tonight I took my wife out to dinner for her birthday. A friend of mine is a bartender at a local restaurant and he stashed some Very Special Old Fitzgerald for me. So tonight, I finished off their bottle. So delicious. I am not a bunker kind of guy, but I blew by not stockpiling this when it was affordable and fairly readily available.

Ok changing my mind pretty awesome, not secondary market pricing awesome, or hunting all over town awesome. However at retail pricing and somewhat available, pretty awesome.

It's hard to live up to the hype, huh?

I am continuing with the wheaters, having some Maker's 46. My step father-in-law is under the weather, so I made him a HH BIB hot toddy.

Full day of moving furniture and some Buffalo Trace is just perfect to forget about the pain and what might be in the hotel hot tub.

Went to dinner with a bunch of friends and enjoyed a Makers 46 before cutting into a delicious Filet Mignon.

Had a great evening with some fine folks, some of which are SBers. d1c21dd6e664533f9691c83931cfa2f4.jpgf5307c67dda0ce2396da0e783dc6446a.jpg5b355eb98d786bc6322ace58c92c228c.jpg48cbb15a7481cf76f38ae48144ca544e.jpg

I enjoyed the decades but not for the price point. Much better offering than MK IMHO. Also had WT Donut, CGF and an old 93 RB. Not to mention various other malts and things I won't go into because I'm tired and crashing. Always a good time to visit and share a few pours. Thanks for hosting Eric.

Picked up my 1st handle...EWB..whatever..it's my goto..lol

Also picked up an Old Ezra 7yr 101p..you know I don't like ezra brooks...at all

But this Old Ezra is really pretty darn good. I like it more than WT101..and it may be my fav <$23 pour.

Is that well over 30 year Armagnac? I have something that looks the same but is only 30 years old. If you have any dear ails on this Armagnac it's appreciated.

Took some Stagg Jr. to a BYOB birthday party tonight. Someone else brought aome Angel's Envy. Hadn't had any AE in a long time. Was not a fan of the AE tonight, especially after the Stagg.

I tried a RR10 after a long hiatus from it. I really enjoyed it. I'm sure I've changed more than it has, but I want a big fan of it last time I tried it

I'm also enjoying RR10yr tonight. I've always like this one. 

 

Also into the OF Single Barrel I was drinking the past two nights. This is really an exceptional barrel.
