Thanks Ken ill grab some Foursquare and check out the threads. Drinking the Smith and Cross now. Wonderful stuff. As a peated scotch man, this has a very strong funk that most would stray from. Over ripe bananas, leather, then moves to dark fruits. It is an overproof, but still does fine on the rocks as a sipper. Look for it, it is a good price. 

thanks. will do.

i am, like you, not a fan of the spiced rums but there is one, Stolen Smoked Rum (a kiwi mob using Fijian rum). not exactly peaty but it has a real smokiness to it that i like. but it is a real love it or hate it style.

BT kosher wheat recipe 

Baruch Hashem to that.  The Orthodox put a whipping on whiskies.  They'll drink that instead of wine at dinner.

Today's find. I really love vacation, and being in a spot that doesn't have flippers and hoarders like DFW. Stuff is actually on the shelf!

[FatherOfPugs]

Got this at Costco.

Not a fan this was a huge let down! I still have one unopened that I probably won't open.

To my surprise it was actually pretty good reminded me of Weller special reserve but a tad bit better

Believe it or not, I feel the same way. I'm glad I found it at retail price. Not even close to worth secondary pricing. New Riff is way better, also much better options for the price.

Yes sir I bought it for the age statement and regret it, I tend to try and go after the stuff that no one wants.

Everything you've posted would be a lottery only bottle by me. Good scores!

I get super lucky the owner holds bottles for me and gives em to me at msrp. I try and stay away from the van Winkles and etc cause I know if I wait long enough I'll get em at msrp cause the new stock comes on. I've had this ETL and it was kind of a let down.

Heard good things about this..excited to see it in the regular lineup

I need to try some of that OF Rye. I’ve got a bottle of 86 and 1920 both which I’m thoroughly enjoying.

Gifted a bottle of this by a friend for my birthday next week but decided to crack it open last night.  

[lovethehaze]

Fresh from Mexico this is good smooth tequila to sip or shoot 

[SmokyFontaine]

Umm...I hope you guys are sitting down, but my two latest additions are a 6'er of Heineken 0.0 and one of Clausthaler Original, NA. Yah, I go big.

i remember the early opus one releases (sadly, that old). they were pretty interesting and exciting. i'm not that up with napa vintages so i can't help you but if you are serious, i have a friend who is a maker there - his father was involved with some of the wines which won the famous tasting in paris. i could chase him and ask if you want.

Well, I just got the 2016, now I have to hide it from the wife! I don't want to go older, they go up $25.00-$50.00 every year.... I cant locate the 2017. So that would be great!

Just got a second 2016.

Vacation was very good to me! Store pick on the blantons and OWA 107. Finally got my favorite RHF!
