The richer the more stingy theory.

Grabbed a few more bottles this morning.

Last night made the wife a margarita and had a few fingers of Cragganmore 12 for myself.

I think they can't sell between 2am and 4am, so they are open 22/7 around here. None of those silly laws against Sundays or Mornings or where you can sell it.

You meet the most interesting people hanging out around the liquor store waiting for it to open. Much more interesting than the ones hustling in right before closing. Or so I'm told, of course.

I've had the Writers Tears, pretty good stuff. Great selection for the weekend.

It looks like you are similar to me, not a big fan of the peat but someone talked you into a bottle of Lagavulin 16

upstatedoc · 03-01-2019, 02:33 PM

Picked up a bottle of this to try

I have the Full Proof and the Rye and like both of them a lot. Enjoy!

Violator · 03-01-2019, 03:43 PM

Seeing all the new bottles makes me feel like I have to stop by and grab one on the way home. I’ll see what I can find today.

It's that sweet sweet peer pressure.

It's pretty good. I was never a fan of the peaty stuff. But I have really come to like it more. Talisker is the shit. It's a bit smokey and salty. I can plow through a bit of it if I get on a roll.

I succumbed...I don’t plan to drink any of them at the moment, I want to get the entire collection first and then decide.

You are the first person I've heard who agreed with me on this. I was given some as a gift a few years ago, and literally everyone was ga-ga over it...I thought it was mediocre at best. I would never buy it myself.

I may be crazy, but at least there's one more crazy.

Ditto.

There are a few of us on here that wasn’t impressed with it. So far it’s the only bottle I regret purchasing.

Grabbed the Glenfiddich IPA cask today along with my old stand-by, GJ. The IPA flavoring really stands out in this. Much more so than the Jameson's IPA Cask, I think.

1MOREMOD · 03-01-2019, 10:22 PM

Will try dont think it does in the Jameson
