@ DevilDoc.. re: Mac Cask Strength.. you might Just like that cognac I married lately.. :) 120 proof, 15 yrs old? sound about right? After a week your tongue is flexible enough to run all around the inside of the glass licking out the last drops. :laugh: The glass has an ounce of port in it...

some guy named Smokeyballs just bombed me with a luxury collection of pipe tobaccos.. :rolleyes: and I have to mention the McClellands ? Latakia Flake .. whoo. Yas, that's the one. Close enough to Balkan Sobranie .. yummy. rich and thick and not ashamed to say LATAKIA! :love: heck, he...

presently in Tulsa, gotta admit Lawton is a good reason to go back to Detroit. ;) But you Can spend money there, quickly, in interesting ways, and meet new friends. :whistling:

well, a firm underline on the Daniel Bouju Cognac. Raisen syrup, spice, old wine, wood, in concentrated form. I am hunting better. It only claims 15 years old, and at the price, he's NOT proud of it, particularly. I gotta wonder what HE drinks.. :love: Not only doesn't it evaporate...

Me too! :laugh: At least the part about AVB's scotch.. :whistling: hey, wait a second.. that Aberlour 15 is still laying around.. i think that's a technical!

that IS a good price, I think I saw 46$ somewhere online and was shocked. No, I've written off everything that has ever used the word peat in any ad. I don't Want any peat. :) There are more tastes that I like than that I don't, and peat suits me only in absolute arctic weather.. which I...

I'm so glad I found out I'm not an Islay guy before I bought the Darkest.. it was edging toward the top of my list .. Ya'll can relax. Peat and me are gonna be strangers.. :p

Nickie, or Lickie. :) and you have to ask her BOTH NAMES TOGETHER. it's the way it works with 3 year olds.. :D

due to poverty, thrift, and the uneasy feeling that i might soak up unlimited gallons of this stuff, I bought ONE more bottle. If it's AS good, truly, as the first one.. If I feel the same way about it after two drinks out of bottle #2.. I'm investing. I'd expect 2-5 times the price...

Well, I don't know if JW Gold has corn, I only know it tastes like it does. :) Might well be wheat that I taste, but sure didn't think so from the flavor. Re: Liver.. no, the only benefit of good scotch, over rotgut, is you taste more and drink less.. and that's why I try for the strongest...

Buy it. Don't wait around to read this thing, time's a wasting! Glenrothes 1992 is a sweetish, but not very, sherried, but not hugely, oldish, but not THAT old.. fine made, well presented, good value, and better'n ya'd think. Buy some, buy extra, buy your relatives and girlfriends some, my...

I refuse to crack the only bottle of Van Winkle I've ever seen personally without a good excuse. Right now, it's worth more to look at than it is to taste. :) I will be stacking up a Few things to go with it, but for now, Rye, Rye, Rye! I have decided I likes rye. I suspected it. :blush: It...

The concepts of 'cheap' and 'Scotch Whisky' aren't often found in the same bottle.. and if they ARE, you're mostly advised to avoid it, for the sake of your tongue, liver, and head.. But there are exceptions. A few. A bit ago, I tested (and tested, and Tested) some JW Gold, quite a nice...

If you like the A'bunadh, you'll almost certainly like the Macallan Cask Strength. It's not quite as oily, and stands even Tinier sips.. :) (for me) It holds the record around here for lowest evaporation factor. That stuff Lasts a while.. and the price is similar too, so it's a reasonable...

Is it a particular recipe, or just a way to market blended beer? I'm ignorant.. :blush:

in a fit of sensible behaviour, which is very out of the ordinary for me.. I did NOT buy the 40 year old version of Daniel Bouju's work.. how's 170$ delivered sound, for 40 years old, 100 proof, and hand made by one guy? I was tempted. Real Tempted. I bought something else, for 1/5 the...

I hope you have made a firm commitment to Drinking these bottles, and aren't just indulging yourself in Conspicuous Ownership! I mean, there Are Certain Standards to uphold. :laugh: Due to an unexpected charitable relief mission from an un-named benefactor.. :rolleyes: I have two new shelf...

well. I dunno much about rye, I drank old overholt and didn't care for it much, and drank jim beam rye and liked it just fine. i got some lot 40 canadian rye, and it's Tasty but they cooked it in a hurry. I am Hoping to come up with that old hotalings, have a bottle of sazerac that's still a...

Holy Moley, you sure know how to hurt a guy.. I had to stand back from this last group buy, my pre-planned expenditures didn't have a newfound cognac lust built in, and were over in the 'oops' zone already.. BUT, I have put a bottle of Anniversary 25 yr Mac on *hold*, for my birthday. Just...

nope. trades aren't a big priority. I'd rather give away the bargain gems I stumble over, and keep my altruism inexpensive.. and get some mileage out of it! And what I hoard, well.. it'd have to be some mighty attractive tongue paint to pry loose my favorites. BUT... Any old murky sherry...
