Mine too, sir. Mine too. Unfortunately, the hardest to source - at least it is here abouts.

[Jett129]

@SFMCfranky Virtually impossible to find in the NY/NJ area and when it does occasionally show up it’s ridiculously expensive. After that one I like the 107 and the last time I was able to get that one it was a whopping $31.

@Jett129 I went to a whisky bar with some friends here in VA and saw Weller single barrel on the shelf. All of the Wellers are elusive here and a pour was $100. Changed my mind real quick on that one.

I don’t blame you! That’s crazy expensive.

Something I’ve heard of but have never been fortunate enough to experience is when a bar has what they call a Break Even night on a high end bottle and they charge the amount per pour that would cover their cost of the bottle.

@Denimhead-0 I bet that’s great. How will you be drinking it. Neat,on the rocks with a lime or maybe a Mojito? Just noticed the 60% ABV. The kids call that Hazmat!

Any recommendations for a good clean Reposado to pick up on my way home?

@Jett129 On the Rocks

[Jett129]

@WhiskeySandwich El Tesoro,Tequila Ocho, Siete Leguas,Volans,Don Fulano,G4. These are also pretty reasonably priced. I also highly recommend/swear by the Agave Matchmaker App. It’s free and you can put any brand into it and it will give you 2 ratings and tell you wether or not the tequila is additive free.

@Jett129 thank you sir. I saw a few of those at my stop, some of which I’ve tried before. I wanted to try a new one today and took the recommendation of the owner. Ended up with Volcan De Mi Tierra reposado. I’d definitely get it again…which I may need to do sooner rather than later.

The plastic airplane bottle really helps with the flavor profile.....

[pechelman]

@harleylawhorn Muddled the fresh neighborhood blackberries with lemon and added to a bit of maple syrup and rye.
