      Im glad you can get your hands on it! Alipús rarely appears in our liquor stores, and I’ve never been able to get San Baltazar. It is pretty expensive stuff.

          It was always true
          That Alipus makes good juice
          Dixeebe and have fun

          Think it, be it.

            Had a rather nice birthday gift last month from Mrs Trash. Debating on whether to open it or not or add it to the collection?

                @Jett129 You have a very good point 😎.

                I have some bottles for drinking and some investment bottles. Trying to work out which category this one will end up in.  Also been away at work so no chance to get tempted to crack it open.

                Was anyone quick enough to get the latest Ardbeg Hypernova release? I missed out this time unfortunately.

                  If I can’t get 2 bottles of investment potential bourbon then the one that I am able to get is immediately opened.

                    That is pretty much exactly how my collection started.  Buy two, drink one, speculate on the second bottle to partially fund something else.

                    The return on investment on the bottles I have stored is way more than any interest rate offered.  Plan is to liquidate them (sell them not drink them them  :D) and use the money for my daughters university fees when that time comes.

                    Star of the show is an inaugural release from the small Daftmill distillery.

                      Made a MEZCALITA using Tequila Ocho Reposado aged in Widow Jane bourbon barrels on the rocks,with a squeeze of lime and orange,Real Minero Mezcal,splashed on top,with a few shakes of Sal De Gusano. Off the charts delicious. When you get to the end the Sal de Gusano hits you. @mclaincausey

                        A lovely raicilla this evening. A couple of different maguey used here, roasted in a wood fired oven, so not as smoky as a horno, and double distilled in a Portuguese shade out of copper and a tree trunk. This raicillero makes this one, with the varietals listed on the label, and another one with a single varietal under the same label. I prefer this one.

                        None of the Venenosas are bad. This one, the red label, and the wacky orange label are favorites, and the Puntas variety is pretty crazy too. The Etnica line is the most special, from a tribal people who recently rediscovered their distilling tradition. If you see that, it is especially rare, even more than the orange label, which is guaranteed to be among the most unique spirits you’ve tried.

                        The variety of terroir and maguey in Jalisco make raicilla one of the most varied and interesting maguey traditions IMO.

                        Think it, be it.

                            That is the very first bourbon I ever tasted.

                              All my money go to IH shirts and jackets, I really enjoy this:  $20 before tax for 1 litter of 100 proof

                                I love any of the Makers Mark bourbons,especially the Cask Strength. The Old Foresster 1910 and 1920 are really good. The Four Roses Single Barrels are a good value as well. Wish I could get Eagle Rare at a decent price.

                                  Thanks to some of this thread's more adept influencers ( @Jett129 @mclaincausey @sabergirl ), I'm going to be taking my love of agave more seriously…..

                                        @scooter If you want to get serious about Mezcal,then you have to get this. You sprinkle a little bit on an orange slice,that you bite into after you’ve had a sip of Mezcal. It’s really good!
