@SFMCfranky Nice,My personal favorite of all the Wellers.

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.

[Jett129]

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.....

This one was delicious

That time of year when blackberries are everywhere in the neighborhood

[harleylawhorn]

@pechelman damn that looks good. What you sippin on, vodka cran?

[pechelman]

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

@Denimhead-0 Happy to hear this. I just happened to pick this up on a pretty decent sale last weekend. Haven't cracked it open yet, but now I'm really looking forward to it.
