Hope I’ll get forgiveness for this, but I like it better than the pricey stuff I tried.

That’s the one that started my scotch journey and my first hangover.

1st hangover????? Ya uh huh!

 

[GearNoir]

No worries Bill…JW Black is about my speed too, cost wise

 

[dangerousdon]

Not my usual MO, but ran across this for like $30 off. In my professional opinion, this is better than JW Blue.

If I am doing Johnny Walker (I rarely do...just not a scotch dude) JW Green is my jam!

I’m kinda at a “much mo moolah, don’t mean much mo bettah” stage.

When I was in the commercial printing ink business, mistakes and rejects fell into a category known as ‘work-off’, which was material blended into virgin salable goods at ‘pee in the ocean’ volumes for a cost recoupe.

Shall we say I worked-off what was left of a few bottles of pricey Scotch that I lacked the refinement to enjoy……into Manhattans.

True story. Wasn’t much of a drinker until my wife corrupted me with wine, but one bottle of Cab isn’t enough to be too much.

Wow! I feel like a really bad person i have lost count in hangovers and a tattoo or two that are related to said hangovers, including some time loss

 

[Bill M]

Oh, okay… I did get into trouble I regret once!… or twice!…. or, ah fuggetabboutit!

It was in the Philippines while in the service, after a particularly interesting mission

 

[Bill M]

We… who never had the benefits of some of those experiences that military service provides, thank those who pressed forward through them.

 

[Cvargo]

Monthly pick-up. This is a pretty decent barrel proof rye.

You sir, do not get to be jealous

I might be dry for Advent but still buying.

Awesome Old Forester Gift set


The newest version of Bookers


And this is a Whiskey maker in Northern Utah they use MGP in this so figured I'd try it

 

[GearNoir]

Been keeping an eye out at the local grocery stores for Christmas/gift sets that usually come out during the holidays…fairly disappointing selection so far, if they’ve had anything at all

I’m afraid to try the local liquor shops…the mark ups are crazy here.

You not buying and driving the liquor stores out of business just wouldn’t be in the spirit.

I'm buying, not drinking though right now lol. On the way to get Megan's medications after her surgery today we had a couple items hit stores. So got another bottle of Buffalo Trace and Woodford Double Oak

 

[Cvargo]

Excited to dive into these!

 

[Cvargo]

Alright all you crazy Dave's why haven't I seen either of you pick this up yet?



Or maybe even this?

 

[NurseDave]

Because in a blind tasting I preferred less expensive Lagavulin

But the label is so COOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL

Plus when you buy it you can do a Lion King pose of it!


And have you sampled these?
