The $40 was for a present. I already have a good rye I like. I'm looking for affordable.

I haven't tried the Wild Turkey yet. I'll check that out first. I'll retry the Beam too. I bought some R1 once for a friend. Haven't tried it, and I think it cost me about $40.

I have a lot of friends that can drink a lot of booze. When I have larger parties, I like to get decent, but cheaper stuff since its often wasted, sometimes mixed, and not always appreciated. For bourbon, I love the price and quality of Evan Williams 1783, and Virginia Gentleman (I think this...

I pulled about a quarter ounce from the cask to taste its progress (just over 24 hours). I compared the cask to the original, and then, the HC original with the HC that I'd aged 1.5 months in the 1 liter cask. My results follow: GL VS. GL in HC Cask. The color for both is identical, though...

UPDATE! Once my cold/allergies subsided, I re-tasted each Scotch with a drop or two of the rum, and came to very different conclusions that I had previously. The Macallan was OK, but the Glenlivet stood out. I also tried some with some Talisker and Balvenie doublewood, and found both of those...

I missed that reply as well. However, I added a little of the unaged rum to some macallan and some glenlivet this week to try to get an idea of how the end result would taste. The former was way too sweet, the other I just didn't really like. I also had a cold at the time which didn't help...

Interesting read. Also, interesting point about proof, proof did not factor into my decision making at all this time, but will next time. I think I've decided on using the Macallan. Its something I, and many, are familiar with, so it will provide a good base for comparison. As for the time...

I received a spirits aging barrel as present a while back. I tried some rum finished scotch recently, and since I had a bunch of rum on hand, I decided I'd try to put a rum finish on a scotch myself. I already have some rum aging in the barrel. Since its a small volume barrel with a lot more...

I believe I picked up my bottle of this from a scotch buy a while back. This was before I could get it locally, which now is possible. What initially caught my eye was that it is distributed by Suntory, which I found amusing having recently seen the movie, lost in translation. I don't know...

I saw the 46, and since Mad Men caused me to run out of my last bottle of go to bourbon, I picked one up. The first time I had some, I thought it was quite good. Remarkably good. There was a flavor that was very familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. My wife identified it as nutmeg...

Can't wait for a review! What is the availability like on these? I've seen you can get 10, but I wonder if singles will be available.

What kind of air filter are you using? Its looks a little large for my needs, but if you'd recommend the brand, perhaps they make a smaller one.

I bought a few from Drapers in DC that were spectacular. Since then, I've had a few that were good, but not great. Hopefully I'll come across some more of the really good ones one day.

I personally don't see a problem walking that far myself, but lets say I'm in a black tux, or lets say I have some friends of larger carriage, or lets some of us are carrying others home...

When I first got into cigars, I ordered so many that my 1 every week or so habit may keep me from ever reaching the end. Even with plenty of help from my friends I have enough cigars for years. Did I learn my lesson? I ordered a mizzou meerschaum and some blue note just to give it a try. Now...

Thanks again for all the help. I pretty much found out all I need to know. Any another has any further recommendations or tips, they'd still be very much appreciated.

I am concerned about taxis adding up. Since we'll be sharing, hopefully it won't get crazy. If it gets over $40 per person per day, we'd be better off getting cheap rooms on the strip. We're three blocks back on E Tropicana Ave, so between NYNY and Excalibur (so says google maps). The...

Club info: http://www.travel2vegas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47123 Sounds like we could call for free transport from the strip from many of the big name clubs, and then after a few dances, the guys will get tired of being hassled and what to do something else, perfect for my situation...
