Favorite Whiskey?

thank you. this thread, actually, has me considering a membership again for that very reason.

 

I’m convinced!

 

You don't need a membership to buy alcohol in most states (there are laws against that), so check your local rules and regs before forking over for a membership you'd only use for booze.

 

Here's some numbers for you... A 1.75L of Jack Daniels at a local grocery store in Iowa (a controlled state ) is $56. That same bottle at a Sam's Club in Iowa is $46. At the Costco and Sam's Club in Nebraska it's $37.
Elijah Craig is $24-$34 anywhere else.. Costco it's $20.99.
I've seen the ECBP for anywhere from $69.99 to $79.99 and at Costco it's $54.99...

I take Zyrtec which is about $1 a pill anywhere and I can get the Costco generic called Aller-tec .. a 365 pill bottle which is a year's supply for $13.99. (same active ingredient/dose)

All of those reasons above more than pay for my $60/year membership.

 

sold.

 

Woodford Double Oaked. I spot checked a few Total Wine locations in CA and it looks like it's $39.99. I don't pay less than $45 here and I'm 5 miles from the distillery!

 

Just pulled one of the new glasses off. This is supposed to have the ring fully around it but I made a mistake when pulling the tape.

 

Here it is with the ring around it.

 

Man, that looks sharp!

 

Thank you. Tedious to do but I thought the look was cool. Thinking about one where the base is left clear and a lip at the top.

 

Grabbed an extra bottle of my go to (Eagle Rare) and figured I’d try this new Elijah Craig Rye.

 

Just throwing out an idea.. how about a line at each oz mark?

 

I could probably do that would just have to measure it out an oz at a time.

 

A shot glass full of water would work.. just thinking people might pour more regular with something like that? Hell I don't know really. Just an idea haha

 

damn I just paid 60 bucks for one. BevMo has it at 56 and safeway 60-something.

Good trade

my county just got “shut down” we’ll see how that goes tomorrow

 

Oh a side note, picked up four roses small batch select today in jersey. Don’t think PA is going to buy any this year.

 

Unfortunately for me... Neither my job nor the FD can "shut down".

Guess I'll have to stick to the high proof stuff to stay protected from the inside out!

 

@DC 17_3 what did ya end up drinking last night?...
