Favorite Whiskey?

Lot B is always underwhelming. In fact, ORVW and the rest all has besides a few years of 15 and 20 that were solid and VWFRR is solid.

 

I've only had the lot b. And it's the first time I've ever had it. But I enjoy it thoroughly. Someday I'll try more if I'm lucky

 

So this is what licking the inside of an old sherry cask is like!



Super thick for the proof this is bottled to, and it somehow manages to be both drying and sweet on the finish. The wood tannins aren't overbearing like I thought they may be, but really the best things about this whisky are the nose and the finish. I'd have to spend some more time with it to put down some real notes, and for now I'd rather just enjoy this glass.

I'm glad my wife gifted me this bottle, since it's something I'd likely never buy for myself, and I look forward to cracking it open on our anniversary for years to come.

 

Speaking of...

W.T.F. are y'all drinking?!

 

Makers

 

Manager at Hooters bought me a pour of Maker's yesterday for Veterans Day.

 

What a great gift and special bottle. Been with my wife for 20 years (married for 10) and I don't think all of our anniversary presents combined would fetch a bottle of Glenfarclas 40 year.

I've had Glenfarclas up through the 25 year. Not much of their line that I haven't liked. The 15 is my favorite at the moment. It isn't sold in the States, so every time I travel abroad, I make one spot in my suitcase available for bringing one back.

That'll be a nice tradition for you.

 

A lot of folks love it. It just never excites me. If I guessed, I’ve had 7-8 different years.

 

that begs the question, what do you like so much about the 1792 FP? i got it. I'll consider a bottle trade with you if you have something and want this one.

 

Holy cow. Anyone near Concord feel like a Costco run? I'm in for 3 bottles... Damn.

 

Hmm, I could possibly make it there tonight

 

Would appreciate it but I know it can be a pain to go there then have to arrange shipping, so no worries if you don't. I think it says limit 3, so if you wanted some I don't really need 3.

That's a helluva price and a no-brainer to pick up one or two!

 

No doubt! Working out something with @MattJakobs - heckuva stand up guy.

 

Acquired

 

Sweet! Thanks Matt.

 

Not a problem. The guy who checked my receipt on the way out said a lot of people have been buying it today, in sets of 3. It all made sense to him when I said there’s a 3 bottle max per customer. Turns out it’s actually per customer/per day. Good to know for future purchases.

 

I no longer have a Costco membership, but one reason I didn’t renew is because my local store didn’t have anything that I couldn’t find at total wine for even cheaper

 

Bottle kill

love/hate relationship with this bottle, seems like my opinion changed every time I opened her up
