@Tago-Mago Absolutely,In my opinion one of the single best Mezcal values out there. Not too bad on the price,relative to what it costs in the states.

Sticking with whisky for the moment

@Tago-Mago I am fan of the PC series from Bruichladdich. Tempted to pick up a bottle of the recent 18yo PC release.

My favourite PC release so far has been the Sauternes cask finish SC-01.

It was a painkiller kinda week.

@ddtrash I‘ve only had the Islay Barley from PC to compare. Liked both so may have to find another one when I replace the next empty bottle

[ddtrash]

@Tago-Mago Here are the PAC-01 and SC-01 versions.

PAC is finished in a Pauillac red wine cask and SC is finished in a Sauternes cask. Both nice but the SC in my opinion is a bit smoother and my slight preference.

April wound up being a good month for whiskey shopping. After acquiring the Woodford batch proof, I also happened upon others I'd been looking for...

I also found a great deal on one I've already had, and vowed to grab another. The markdown made it extremely easy. I'll be saving this one for special occasions...

Hibiki 100th Anniversary

[Jett129]

@scooter That’s an insane price on the Calumet 16. Cheapest I’ve ever seen it for was $127.

[scooter]

@Jett129 , no doubt. Cheapest price I came across was $145.

@SourPower how was that beauty?

@mclaincausey how did the rest of your Berlin trip unfold? Any success picking up a mezcal?

[mclaincausey]

@Tago-Mago worked 16 hour days from the hotel until finally getting some time Saturday. Walked all over town and had a great time but no time for mezcal. I absolutely adore Berlin and want to return one day, and probably stay at the Kempinski Adlon again—loved the hotel and best breakfast buffet I’ve ever had, for only €40 including unlimited champagne and caviar.

There’s a lot that Germany does better than the US. Y’all have it pretty good over there!

[SourPower]

@mclaincausey haven’t tried it yet, just brought it home!

[mclaincausey]

@SourPower back in the days when whisky was affordable Hibiki 12 (now Harmony lacking the age statement) was a favorite. Enjoy!

[SourPower]

Still have a sealed bottle of Hibiki 12 for a rainy day… @mclaincausey

[mclaincausey]

Such great stuff!

Mezcal negroni

[Tago Mago]

@Jett129 @mclaincausey do you use mezcal for mixing or do you sip it?
