        I picked the one that didn't say "smokey" in the description…  ::)

        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...

                        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!

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

                              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.

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

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

                                          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.

                                            Spotted in Selfridge's yesterday.

                                            Yes, it is £13,100 for a bottle (about $20K), and according to the shop assistant it's smoother than the regular stuff.

                                            No, I'm not buying it for you…
