you needn't DRINK that Mac 18. It works for Christmas Presents. Even trades.. :)

buy a bottle of daniel bouju brut de fut royal.. you was told. I didn't keep it a secret. I'm honest. It's the best booze i tasted in my life, and i'm going to be 52 in september. it's 65$ per bottle, delivered, in two bottle increments. buy two. at least. don't blame ME when you're wishing...

well, a new edge to the tastes .. for me at least, and I suspect for anyone. Cask Strength Cognac. Oily & fat, the most 'lumps of flavor' booze I met yet.. I posted a review in the cognac section.. but this is more like a sweet old bourbon or sherried scotch. AMAZING booze. ya'll buy...

well, if you find any particular rum to be the 'holy grail'.. let me in on it. my latest experiment in booze turned out amazingly well, and I'm quite willing to become better educated. What's old, spicy, and not terribly popular? Strong is good too.. My standard is 20 years old and 100...

I guess sometimes you shouldn't start close to the top. It can distort your appreciation of good.. If you learned on a Martin D18 guitar, you probably can't easily appreciate a Yamaha.. and if you started with a harley, a Vespa isn't even CUTE.. So, I may have ruined myself with this...

Everybody has favorite tastes. Some whisky isn't fit to drink by most standards, except.. a few people LOVE the stuff.. and it doesn't matter which one YOU like, somebody someplace hates it. But tastes fall into categories. If you like SOME things, you'll probably like others.. I'm a...

Well, if it's oak, it might be in anything.. if it's oak and WINE, it might be in anything that touched wine at one time.. and so far, i've not found it mentioned in any purely bourbon casked malt spirits.. so, i'm still trying to define it as it applies to tasting notes. I guess I'm just...

eh, picked up two bottles of 96 vintage LBV port, which were sort of 'drink on the least excuse' bottles, (20$) but the only thing makes em a bargain is it keeps me out of the real booze. :) AND I got my cognac. Nuff Said. :whistling: I can get the Pappy Van Winkle 20 yr for 67$, and it's...

Good thought.. Lot #40 (Canadian, Single Distillation, Malted Rye & Small Grain Mash, Pot Stilled) This spirit is close to a full malted rye, not much barley if any is noticeable.. the corn gives it a bit more sweetness than a pure rye, and a bit of an oily mouthfeel.. but it'd pass for a...

Drink it, man, drink it! I recommend a fireproof and childproof container for all unsecured collectables.. and a gun safe is a good start. Might need shelves in it, and it's not office furniture MOST places.. but less is a bluff, and pointless. A cleaning lady with a bobby pin can get in...

Wishing for tiny premium '15 minute' smokes, extra tasty and medium/full flavored. (not 'flavored'.. yick) I don't know enough to ask for particular ones.. but I'm hunting premium domestics with better tobacco than they ought to have.. :) Some of the tinned from the big names, I'd guess...

I've been collecting booze for about 6 months, just barely a novice. I don't know what I'm doing, most of the time, and struggle to sort recommendations for quality and relevance.. So, I make mistakes, and wind up with things that'd suit others MUCH more than myself.. AND, I have lucky (Or...

I entirely agree with you, and except for Peter Stokkeby's Turkish Export, it's *the* RYO turkish blend.. (so far) But the problem with it is.. I'm collecting BOOZE.. :) And somehow I just keep putting off the tobacco purchases.. Anyone who has great compassion, a few extra benjamins, and...

I don't know anything about aromatics, and I'm not argueing against that retailer.. but there are a lot of 'standard' tobaccos that aren't represented in their line up. . They may well be serving a regional market that doesn't support a wide variety of choices. Most English Blends are...

I'll mention that there's 3 bottles of Macallan 18 available here.. @ 98$ otd. (that includes local tax) .. I know it's findable most places, but more expensive, and NOT findable in a few.. These 3 are available, but i can't get em till Tuesday, May 30. I'll ship em at cost, with mailing...

This is an odd duck, stronger flavored than I'd expected, and not the most professionally made of all booze I've tasted.. there's a hard whiff of wood alcohol on the nose, and it has a faint scorched taste that indicates they cooked it a bit fast.. both of those bespeak commercial 'hurrying'...

Glenfiddich 12 was the first 'Real Whisky' I ever drank, sometime before I was legally supposed to .. and by 'real' I mean store whiskey that you could drink neat.. I thought good moon was better'n store whisky cause compared to standard back pocket booze, it WAS. Lots. So, I was...

Ports, Sherries, Ice Wines, Fruit Liqueurs, Eue De' Vies, LOTS of stuff is sweet, and goes well to finish a gourmet meal, either with dessert, or AS dessert.. and I like 'em, and am throughly ignorant, and it's for guests and rare occasions and i'm a tightwad with gourmet tastes and a darn...

well, my Favorite wine under 10$ is a bargain bin markdown from 30$.. and any of em that aren't nasty work, I like bargains. Right now, I am drinking a California Pinot Noir, Domaine Carneros 1999, 7$ (marked down from 28$) .. and am thinking of a magnum of Merlot 2001 for 9.99.. Hey...

yeah, peat is the primary marker for scotch, and what most folks think of first.. but it's only one style. the highland, less peaty (if at all) scotches are more like light canadian whisky, not so much cask influence and gentle flavors.. and the sherried (aged in sherry casks) malts are...
