@Jett129 , the past 3 years, since first acquiring the 18 year, Knob Creek has become my traditional dram, over Thanksgiving weekend. I'll certainly be enjoying this along side the 12 and 18 year, this time around. So, you won't have to wait too long for that review.

@scooter Unfortunately my local store sold out. They said it literally flew off the shelves.

A sample of some agaves I’ve been enjoying in Mexico.

@mclaincausey Looks like you’re having way too much fun. Where in Mexico are you?

[Jett129]

@Tago-Mago Love Eagle Rare. What does it go for in your neck of the woods?

[Tago Mago]

@Jett129 I buy locally, so roughly €40-45, you can probably get it online for €35. So $40-50

[Jett129]

@Tago-Mago Once again,cheaper that I can ge it for, if/when I can even get it. Go figure.

@Jett129 CDMX and then Sayulita! There is a terrific bottle shop called Agave Liquors with outposts in Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita, and they also own an excellent cantina and mezcaleria called Kahlo in Sayulita.

This just landed on my doorstep - the question is whether to open it this weekend or hold fire till the next UHHH.

All lovers of agave spirits should read this.

Replete with facts like this:

Really helps you appreciate all the crazy microbiology and symbiosis involved, not to mention the harvesting and production techniques and their history.

New dining room furniture, a console bar-type piece is being delivered today, but I forgot to clean out the liquor cabinet that’s being moved downstairs. So now my wife’s doing it. I wish I could post the text messages she’s sending me.

@northsouthdenimguy The bottle of Widow Jane,is that the original 7 yr old? And you’re not allowed to have 2 unopened bottles of Blantons.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Jett129

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s the seven-year-old widow Jane I think I have two unopened bottles and one open. I’m going let my wife know to next time take a much clearer picture.

We rarely drink at home anymore after Covid. First 6 months had pretty much wiped out everything (except the tequila) almost all the bourbon and whiskey were gone. Stocked it back up but now it’s just here for holidays and guests. I do all my drinking in the bars and restaurants, it makes me feel better about myself. Lol
