I didn't!!! But my father in law did coincidentally, so I'll at least try his, probably will just buy my own.

 

My dad did get me this Costco pack, which looks like a bunch of random unknown distilleries, but still will be fun

 

Moving to Texas in a few months and looking forward to trying more Texas whiskey

 

Wow thanks king

 

cracked opened the elijah craig barrel proof and four roses single barrel tonight. fuckin' delicious both of them.

 

Doing some Michtner’s tonight

 

Love me some Four Roses. Kinda became my go-to whenever I can't decide what I want.

 

A little buzzed off some Bunnahabhain 12 Year, long live Islay

 

Me too, it’s also pretty well priced

 

Packing time

 

they're finally releasing the canned cocktail jack and cokes, but now i can't fucking find them or the jack and cola cans anywhere

 

Went to a cool speakeasy here in San Antonio last night

 

Holy smokes. Try anything good?

 

Didn't get too wild, had a 15 Year Glen Scotia. Scotch man at heart and all

Beautiful lineup. Now I'm sad I gave away all my bourbon before I moved. Love me a good wheated bourbon.

I'm a scotch guy so I see and hear you, Aberfeldy. Such a solid dram.

 

A year late but absolutely yes.

 

I really like the Amarena Toschi cherries

 

Ever since I stopped working at a liquor store a couple years ago, my whiskey shelf has gotten significantly less exciting, but Rare Breed always hits the spot.

 

Who’s down for some $2,000 whiskey? Seen here at a shop in Oslo

 

damn, would burn a hole in my throat but worth it

 

"Released as part of the Diageo Special Releases 2021, this 26 Year Old Lagavulin Cask Strength is aged in rich first fill Pedro Ximinez and Oloroso sherry casks.

Nose: On the mellow nose a finely woven wine-woody aroma of great complexity takes time to yield its individual secrets. Light, fresh and vinous top notes mingle with the linseed oil of an artist’s studio then fade into a warm suggestion of sun-bleached polished mahogany, backed by dry edible seaweed, with sweeter hints of baked fig and butterscotch. Further in, the aromas grow more pungent, oily and fragrantly smoky; like going fishing, with background aromas of tarry rope and boat engine. If a little water is added, their intensity is reduced, while a note of clean linen survives best.

Palate: In the light, ultra-smooth and oily texture a sweetness briefly gleams, soon tinged with salt and pepper, the whole growing more savoury and smokier all the time. Here is all the precious sweet-smoky style of Lagavulin, in a glowing, well-rounded form. A drop of water, not needed, yet seems to heighten the harmony of flavours.

Finish: Long, sweetly warning and faintly smoky, as with smouldering beech leaves, leaving an aftertaste of chanterelle mushrooms. A drop of water introduces a little pepper, then the smokiness reasserts itself in the drying aftertaste."

Another site (I like faint hint of ash, lol):

• Nose
  Bonfire smoke and a faint hint of ash. A rubbery note as well. And plenty of dried fruits such as raisins and figs. Red apples. But then also quite some blueberries. Bbq smoked ham. Honey. Dark chocolate and cinnamon.
• Taste
  A touch of bonfire smoke again. Ash is in the background. That smoked ham again. Dried fruits, raisins mostly. Blueberries. Rich honey and toffee. A hint of dark chocolate and cinnamon. A hint of cloves too. A faint hint of black pepper and oak.
• Finish
  Long. Blueberries and peat, but also a smouldering bonfire.

 

whisky reviews are so silly. I used to have a joke instagram page where I did silly reviews of scotch lol

 

I had money set aside because I wanted to try the newest Woodford Master’s Collection, but I couldn’t find it so I eventually said fuck it and picked up a bottle of Found North Batch 006 17yr, which I saw people on Reddit raving about, and it’s one of the best whiskies I’ve tasted. Special, special bottle.
