      @scooter Thanks so much,as The Jefferson's was the one I was most interested in and It was on sale near me. Going to check right now and see if it still is. And after checking it’s still on sale for $84.99. Maybe an early birthday present.

        @Jett129 , I paid $95 for it, and I'd pay it, again. I'd like to say, it should be in the $70 - $90 range. But, in the grand scheme of things, the $90 - $110 premium price point is becoming more prevalent. If you can get it for around $80, you're doing well.

        Edit: When it's time to back mine up, I'll definitely be looking for a deal, too...

        Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

          @scooter I think $109 is the MSRP.

              @WhiskeySandwich , I've been known to enjoy some toddies, on cold winter nights. They're fantastic when you're suffering with a cold, too. They're also a great way to down a bottle of whiskey you're not particularly fond of, as well.

              Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                          this is a very basic version

                          6 cl brown rum (Plantation Barbados XO here)
                          1 cl Cointreau
                          1 cl Amaretto (Disaronno here)
                          2 cl fresh lime juice
                          a spoonful Agave sirup
                          stirred with ice, into the glass

                              that's such a rebellious version @endo! i like it!

                              If I could only pick one;

                              2oz Appleton signature (or 12 year if you're feeling special)
                              .5oz Hamilton Creole Shrubb
                              1oz fresh lime juice
                              .5oz Liber & Co Orgeat
                              .25oz rich demerara syrup
                              1 drop 30% saline solution
                              2 dashes ango

                              shake hard with crushed ice, dump, add ice to fill, mint springs, and the hull of one half of lime on top for garnish

                              The other favorite is essentially identical to the above, but I swap the lime juice for an equal amount of acid adjusted pineapple juice. Basically it's pineapple juice that has the same acidity as lime juice, created by adding the right amount of citric and malic acid.

                              I'll add that I really like that Hamilton Shrubb b/c it's made with agricole rhum. If you cant find that, then I'd use pierre ferrand's dry curacao, reduce the Appleton rum to 1.5oz, and add in .5oz of your favorite agricole rhum.

                                a little yo-yo is fine @goosehd, and don't tell me about hangovers @WhiskeySandwich I'm an expert 😉

                                May I ask you (and the others too), what is your treatment/prevention for these hangovers? I find that the older I get and the less I drink, the worse they get.
