The good news: It turned into a Wheater Wednesday. I ended up buying a couple of bottles of MM dipped by my gal at MM. That made me feel a little better about passing on the SAOS. Finding a Weller SR made me forget all about it. Biba! Joe I was trying to figure out what to start with tonight.

PaulO Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 In the middle of this week I decided to take a little road trip to the North side. With gas prices going up and inflation on everything else, seemed like the perfect thing to do on a nice day. Anyway, since Joe reminded me how much I like JW Dant, I got several of those. I grabbed a Rebel 100 too. I picked up some Scotch as well, For Peat's Sake, and Teacher's (one of my uncles used to drink that back in the day). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhettro Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 After being inspired by @Skinsfan1311, I picked myself up a bottle of Bardstown Fusion #6. He was right - very good stuff, and a great kick-off to the weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one too and after using it only once I think if I weren't already so invested in a couple dozen glens, this glass could be my daily pour glass. Many have tried to combine the best of a glen/snifter and a rocks glass, but this is the first one that I think actually achieves that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only recently purchased these Aged & Ore glasses and like them quite a bit. Good weight, and it delivers a terrific nose and pour. I also have a set of the Denver & Liely glasses that have been my go-to since I purchased them. And they’re awesome. I did a face-off with the two - both had equal pours of WT 101 - and man, both produced an outstanding, top shelf experience.

If I didn't have so many glencairns already I would buy a half-dozen of these A&O glasses and use them all the time. I can't remember ever hearing about your Denver & Liely glass, but it sounds like you really like yours, so now I have something to investigate for myself ... thanks for the tip! I like trying new glasses every once in a while, I'm probably a little weird that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so interesting to see what different glasses can do to your favorite pour of the brown stuff. If you’re like me, then you’ll love adding this Denver & Liely glass to your shelf. It’s the best whiskey glass I’ve ever used. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the best whiskey glass I’ve ever used. Oh, I've seen those glass in photos but never tried one. It does look great, I'll check it out. While we're on the topic, another one that I really like is one I received as a gift a couple of Christmases ago, it's the Norlan Rauk Heavy tumbler. It's a nice high quality glass that I really enjoy using on occasion https://norlanglass.com/products/rauk-heavy-tumbler?variant=32120585322566 But unfortunately the price makes it prohibitive to stock up with multiples, for an "everyday" glass, at least for my budget. That's one thing that I really dig about the new Aged & Ore glass, ... it's affordable. Which makes it a viable alternative to the Glencairn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Both purchased and opened today. The two youngest grandkids are here tonight while Mom and Dad are at a hockey game. My better half treated us to root beer floats earlier, now I guess it's time for a banana split, of sorts. Hmmm...whiskey float? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that Maker's Mark store pick that's been winking at me lately will follow me home too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I made an impromptu trip to the liquor store today. My son wanted to buy a retirement gift for a guy that works for one of his customers. My son asked me if I wanted to go with him to the liquor store. Of course I said yes. My son bought a couple of bottles of the guys favorite whiskey, and I took the opportunity to grab some more OF 86. Win! Win! Biba! Joe 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves, it had some type of certificate in the box, that you could send to the distillery and get something back, but I can't remember what it is/was. All I know is that I tried to do something with it on the Jack Daniels site. The tax seal is still intact, but some of the liquid has evaporated. The bottle is beautiful. A buddy of mine has a friend who swears that the juice is really good. Not sure how, because it's just standard JD. I told him that I'd be happy to crack it, and let him try it. I'm kinda curious myself. I don't collect bottles, so I'd just assume share it. It's a no-lose situation for me. If it's good, then we'll enjoy the whiskey. If it's not, I'll dump it and use it as a decanter. I have a slick, crystal, JD topper that should fit.

But seriously, I love how you took the scarcity of Weller in stride and found other things that also scratch that itch. No fomo here.
