Favorite Whiskey?

Nothing fancy but my favorite

 

Really like it, just picked up another bottle. I’ve been a fan of Smoke Wagon lately

 

It certainly gets plenty of praise

 

M&B has several varieties of SW. I stopped by there today and picked up a Yamazaki. They had a store pick High West (label pic of Bruce Willis in a scene from Die Hard and something about not "Yippee Kae Yay mother***". Thought briefly about it but passed.

 

Got this email this morning....what a joke

 

I've been thinking about that store pick just because of the Bruce Willis scene, and I need a new bottle to have in my office and think that would be a funny one to have - I just haven't enjoyed any of the High West products I've tried.

 

Must be after those stimmy checks

 

CEO is retiring today. Told him I’d bring him something special to sip on.

 

CEO? You charging him secondary for every sip?

Awesome gesture.

 

Hahah last time I brought in whiskey, he was asking about pricing and I was telling him retail vs secondary and he offered to pay secondary for a few bottles I brought in. They take care of me enough though

 

It also helps that I have 3 back up bottles of this

 

I still have a bottle of the gold label left from a trip to Japan two years ago. Brought back two "Straight from the Barrel" three originals and one "Gold" label. And spent the equivalent of about $250 on all six. It is stupid the price it commands here.

 

I was gifted this from a customer for my hard work and dedication on their renovation project. Never had it before.

 

regular $60
SFTB $150
Gold $120

$330 haha

 

One of my buddies just asked if I had ever had that, I had never even heard of it before. Let us know what you think

 

sherry finished wheater, pretty unique for that alone...gets good reviews, never had it personally

 

It's crazy how inexpensive whiskey is in Japan. The original Blanton's was like $36 a bottle, the from the Barrel was like $50ish and the gold was somewhere in-between the two in price. Which is about what they are worth in my opinion. Just checked online to see what it was currently going for, And no way in hell would I ever pay $200 for a bottle.

 

So has anybody noticed your scotch or irish whisky prices dropping at all since they suspended the tariffs last month? In my area the prices are still super high.

 

Yes! Bought an Oban 14, Glendronach port wood and a Yamazaki 12 yesterday. A few weeks ago the Oban was in the $75 dollar range but now it's about $59. Hopefully they all come down soon.
