Its been over 5 months since you could find any Elmer T Lee around here, so I am especially looking forward to this one. I've been keeping an eye out for it, and it looks like it has not hit Texas yet.

I have had a couple Duncan Taylors that I liked, although I don't recall which distilleries they were from at the moment.    If helps if you are familiar with the distillery they sourced the whiskey from, but in general they seem to have quality stuff. 

Costco in Houston got some in this week, but someone picked up the whole lot the same day.

I picked up a bottle a few days ago, and it is very good. A little on the sweeter side, very smooth, nice well rounded depth of flavor. Initial taste has some hints of fruit with a light vanilla flavor, then builds to a deeper and richer vanilla flavor. The finish is pretty short, but it has...

I picked up a bottle yesterday from my local shop for $99. Its a little high, but I try to do all my higher end bourbon and scotch business there because I am trying to get on his PVW list. It is a little more heavily oaked than I was expecting, but this was from batch 14 and I have heard...

I picked up a bottle of this yesterday, and found heavy cork residue around the neck of the bottle after I removed the cork, and a pretty badly deteriorated cork. The bourbon had a nice nose, but a very strong distinctive woody-ish flavor, with an almost metallic bitter bite. I went back today...

I tried some of this at a friends house this weekend. It had an almost spicy flavor, and reminded me of eggnog. I might pick up a bottle next time I am at the store.

I just picked up a bottle of this today, and am planning on trying it tomorrow. I noticed that the bottle I have is 80 proof, while AVB has it listed as 86. Is that a misprint, or are there different proofs for different markets?

I just picked up a bottle of the 90 proof today. I'm not a huge bourbon fan, but I really liked this. I usually add more water to my scotch than most people, but I think this drinks pretty well neat, which really surprised me. I dropped in one ice cube, and it smoothed out and I could pick up a...

This was the first scotch I tried that I really enjoyed. From someone with very little experience, I thought it was very flavorful. I could finally pick up on some of the flavors people were telling me I should be tasting. although I doubt I really appreciated them. I found the Macallan 12 much...

I bought my first bottle of this today, and it did not disappoint. I really can't even begin to describe it other than to say, wow.

Specs has a line of scotch called Sean Michaels, which is distilled by Macallan. The guy working there said there was some story about brothers etc, but I ignored that and bought a bottle of the 16 yr old for $40. Unfortunately I dont have any Macallan on hand to compare it to, but is is very...

I work for a company that sells our educational software directly from our website, and through various retail outlets. We started packaging it with a book solely for customer convenience (ie priced at minimal profit to us) and accidentally undercut all of our resellers. It was a mess and we had...

I have really enjoyed the Solera Reserve 15 yr, and was also wondering how it compared to the 18yr?

its about $215 here

Consuegra #9 Indian Tabac Super Fuerte

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/html/spec_oneday.asp One Day sale at CI is a box of RP Sun Growns with a free bundle of IT Super Fuertes. A pretty good deal if you like both cigars. I cant pull the trigger on this, but I figured I would go ahead and pass it along.

I usually give Indian Tabac Super Fuertes, connies, or RP Connecticuts to friends who just want to try a cigar, or moochers to just happen to be hanging around. All decent cigars I smoke on a semi regular basis, but they wont break the bank. When I am hanging around these people, I usually smoke...

I got a bundle of the DRs a while back. Was not that impressed at first, but after a couple months they taste pretty good, although I still prefer the originals

I have nothing to add other than I love Guinness, very very much. I am also partial to using it in the occaisional "car bomb"
