Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

I may have told this story before, but…
…a lovely peated Japanese whisky.
And in a moment, dark and stormy with a blackstrap rum a buddy brought from Turks & Caicos.

I really like the 10 YO Yoichi. Reminds me of Springbank - lightly smokey / peaty balanced with fruity sherry cask influences and dispite its age the oak left its mark. A really well balanced whisky.

Everywhere bro. It'll be back in stock. It's a gold standard bourbon.

Not in NYC. I ran out a month ago. Every place I've been so far says it's been sold out since Christmas. They all say the same thing, "Blantons is very hip and in right now, good luck finding it in the city."

Wow Blanton's is easy here. Happy to mail, message me.
Which reminds me I need to find Megatron Megatron.

Bad news. I just called them and they bottle absolutely nothing and don't even fill growlers. Not sure if that's a Boulder deal or not. It is not on tap now. I'll go try it when it comes back and send a similar RIS as a consolation. This time I'm putting a calendar reminder in

You're a gentleman @mclaincausey , I guess I'm just going to have to go to Colorado to drink it

I'm not surprised to learn that Blanton's has become so popular. It's been my "go-to" for 5+ years. Great bourbon; especially for the price.
I've seen it in a lot of films in the past couple years. Recently, GONE GIRL and JOHN WICK.
Saw it in Justified a few episodes ago.
I actually found it at a Wine shop a few blocks away that I didn't realize sold spirits. That was the 8th shop I'd been to though.
Now, per Der666's recommendation, I'm looking for one of the Jefferson Presidential Select bottles. I think they have released a 21, 23 and 25 year.

Even better! I have plenty of room for guests!

One day man, one day….

Whiskey is weird, there's a huge shady secondary market. Demand is out of control for the bottles I really like.

According to Wikipedia, "Buckfast contains 15% alcohol … [and]—drop for drop—has more caffeine in it than Red Bull."
Damn, now I want to try it, too. It's like 4Loko's meaner, more dangerous older brother. I'm sure there would be instantaneous lawsuits if it were ever distributed in the US.
Chris. May I introduce Buckfast's meaner, more dangerous older brother…...who's doing a 10-year stretch!
ELDORADO!!
At 17.5%, it packs a punch! Not for the faint-hearted or those who have stuff to do within three days of drinking it. I quote: "One of the finest fortified wines, this should be drank warm, fast and from the bottle, ideally while standing against a bin shed with the hottest wee hairy you can get your hands on. The one drawback to this magnificent drink is experiencing a hangover before you've even got drunk, but with an ABV 17.5%, this will quickly and easily pass. Highly recommended." Readily available at fine corner-shops in these parts. -
