Favorite Whiskey?

Snagged this today....after gift cards, came to $4

 

You'll definitely have to give an opinion on that one after you open it. There's a box/bottle that's been sitting behind the counter of the local Kroger Wine and Spirits for probably 4 months.

 

Will do, gotta warn you, my backlog is pretty bad right now

these have also sat around here for awhile, I think it’s the price point.

I used this code to get 1 bottle each of High West Bouyre and Angel's Envy Rye. Wine.com's prices are a little high, but using the code it came to $140 including tax and shipping. Overall I saved a about $15 bucks vs. typical retail and I don't have to hunt around for somewhat scarce bottles (fuel expense) so definitely worth it in the end.

 

I just found out I got a bottle in the Total Wine lottery - Thomas H Handy rye! Going tomorrow to pick it up. I have to admit I don't know much about it so I'm doing some research. Anyone tried it or know much about it?

 

Congrats! My buddies and I have been Grand Reserve members for years (we pool our points) - it's never amounted to anything other than the occasional 10% off some crappy wine they can't sell.

 

brother in law won the lottery here and got the handy, gifted it to me for my bday in January......its in my bunker unopened. i did some research on it and it seems most people agree that its good, but has a pretty bad nose. let me know if you open it, I am currently about to move so I don't see myself opening anything rare anytime soon

 

Stopped in to pick up some OGD 114 and brought home some Willett Rye.

Last weekend I also drove 7 hours and brought home something I've always wanted, a 73-79 C10, black and stepside.

1975 C10 Silverado. Factory AC, Tach, 350 4 brl. 11,000 original miles!

 

That's sharp man! Congratulations.

 

VERY nice. Congrats.

 

I dig the whiskey choices, but dig that truck even more.

Congrats!

 

Whiskey Wednesday​

 

Sweet truck, all original? What are your plans?

 

Picked up my Handy today, got it put away in a safe space. Now, what to do with it... drink, or trade...

 

Have you ever tasted it? If not.. I'd say save it and try it...

 

Whiskey Wednesday's are always a good day.

 

I have not, and that's definitely an option. Maybe hold it for when friends are over. Not very often I get a chance to try something so.... limited release/expensive. On the other hand I've been looking for Weller 12 and am into Japanese whisky now, so it's good trade value. No need to make a hasty decision...

 

Another peat head! There aren't many of us in this thread

PC is good stuff
