that's always good choice (except you spend serious money).

I wanted a decent bottle… Had a 30 € self-imposed limit, spent 33... All good...

I came across this the other day at the local liquor outlet among a few other gems.

Feckin want that…

[Clint_D]

I'll see what I can Feckin do about that.

Sorry, that was not the intent of my post…..

Lands VS and Four Roses Single Barrel in my Vieux Carre. Laissez Les Bon temps rouler!

the set for last night: listen to all Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks records in order of appearance whilst drinking whisky.
the outcome: a heavily indigo stained living room wall (from dancing on the sofa), a partly broken sofa
& the christening of my golden nugget bybeatle shirt  by accidentally sleeping in it.
but, no hangover, thanks bourbon!

Pretty good haul from Japan.

I love Blanton's. Please report back on the Special Reserve.

[seawolf]

It's pretty good. Definitely a good bottle, but not quite as exciting as the standard stuff available Stateside. It's a lower ABV to appeal to the markets abroad that tax liquor based on proof, so it's only 80 proof. I tried a little neat and decided to add a couple cubes, but I think that was a mistake. I'll try one cube tonight and try to give an actual review. I did a little research when I got back and found that there are a couple other Blanton's available abroad that I'd like to try as well. The cask strength, and the gold label. Yes please.

[seanocono]

Interesting. Thank you for your thoughts and info, seawolf. I didn't know they distributed abroad.

[seawolf]

Me either, and I found it on sale for about $25 USD! I had to buy it

[seanocono]

Wow. Yeah, you had no choice!

[seawolf]

Life is full of tough decisions. This wasn't one of them.

[trail and arrow]

seawolf, how do you like the 17years old nikka?

[seawolf]

It's a big whisky and it has a lot going on. It's pretty smokey on the nose, but it ends up very smooth on the palate. I'll have to drink some tonight and give a more thoughtful review. It looks like I have some homework tonight.
