50 year old Glenlivet, distilled in 1948, bottled in 1998. I bought this from Scotland last night and now have to figure out how to get in here safely. Shoots my budget for quite some time.

Review will be on January 28th, 2006. :D I have to wait for my birthday.
 
Very cool! I can only imagine on the price.

Now I'm not gonna' rank you up there w/ Hank Williams Jr. If I did that I'd be ranking you "down". I will rank you w/ his daddy though...or his son. Hank I is a God and Hank III is the best damn thing to happen to country music in 20 yrs.

Woops. Sorry about that rant. Killer buy AVB.

If you lived in the South you'd know better than that! ;)

Seriously, though...the country you hear on the radio up there isn't the country we hear on the radio down here. There's a lot of great music coming out of Austin right now, and Hank III wouldn't even make the list, much less top it!

Nice purchase, AVB! You've made me a jealous man! A jealous thread-jacking man! :p :D
 
I always though of the Williams clan as more of a bourbon bunch then scotch but I get the idea. Thanks for all the kind words. Price was an object and I would't have jumped on this now unless I got a really good deal but damn.......... :0

I'm glad I've got an understanding wife :D
 
I still love the bourbon stuff. Not so sure about scotch yet. ( I was just gifted a bottle of Ballantines 21 yr old blended scotch whisky) Still learning about cognac, bought a bottle of CAMUS XO.


EDIT: I love your reviews though
 
The Ballantines 21 isn't bad, on the par with Johnnie Walker Blue, but their 30 year old is really something special. However, at well over $300 a bottle I won't have any soon. The Whyte & Mackay 30 year is equally as good for 30% less.
 
That is some nice whiskey. Enjoy it for me, but don't drink it all at once. I'm sure we will all taste it when the review is written.
 
Well, it's at least paid for now and I know how it will be shipped. All I can do is wait and hope it shows up intact.
 
I could not resist commenting on Hank III. I apologize, but I forget the name of the poster who said Hank III wouldn't even make the list. Whoever they are, they are dead on right.

Yout want to hear something truly traditional (and not some Glenn Danzig inspired punk trying to sound traditional...i.e., Hank 3), check out Wayne Hancock. Check out the Horton Brothers. Check out The Derailers. Check out High Noon. Hell, even check out Dale Watson...though he might be from Round Rock (which, now, is really Austin-lite), and he tries a little too much to be Merle Haggard for his own good, but he is nonetheless an all around awesome guy.

Start there. That will at least instill a little taste in ya. :)

Ya'know, this was my thread and I don't have a clue who you are talking about. :0 Hopefully, the others will. My idea of country music is CCR :D
 
After 42 days I finally have it in my hands :D . I have to admit I was beginning to think that there might be a very happy customs agent out there somewhere. :0

Woah! Them's fightin' words there!

You better watch it or me and my buddies will knock your block off just like we did the cowboys from Montana who were lookin' to start a fight w/ 3 because he didn't play his daddy's songs last time he was here in Seattle. :sign:

The reason I like Hank 3 is because he is a punk doing country music. He swears, makes a bunch of noise, get's rip-roarin' drunk on stage, and pisses people like you off. Shelton (his real name) will be the first to tell you that he makes Outlaw music. You know, like Waylon, Willie, Etc.? What more do you want in your outlaw music than to hear about booze, weed, and women? Geesh!

I'll buy in on Wayne the Train. I like the hell right out of him. But Dale Watson? C'mon. That's just a guy who can't commit fully to real country but wants to think he can. Hence the watered down countriness of it all, bordering on pop.

Check out Deke Dickerson. He's a little more rockabilly, but he's rad and can absolutely kill it on the double neck gee-tar.

There's no gettin' around the fact that Hank 2 sucks. I concur.

In closing, I'll quote 3: "If you don't like that hillbilly sound then hey man, go f*ck you! :sign:

**Had to edit that U out of there. Makes all the difference, doesn't it**
