Hell yea! Enjoy it! I think I am liking this years better than last. The little lower proof makes it a lil more drinkable

I'm already out of town so I got my wife to go pick it up. She is bringing a few bottles with her that I am taking to the family tomorrow, but I made it clear to leave the Stagg at home.

I talked to the BT distributor for the store to ask of he was selling and more btac to them, and he said he wasn't but that they are ordering a bunch of the BT stuff now so they should get more next release.

He also said that was the only pappy or BTAC he sold to his region not including the major shop in town. Nailed it

So, I've just started drinking Scotch, and it's only been Glenlivet 12 thus far. I like it, but what are some other nice choices?

I like aberlour, oban, and mccallan. The latter two are a bit more pricey than the aberlour. Glenmorangie is also a good one that is about the same price as aberlour.

No problem. The taste of single malts vary wildly between regions. Scotch has taken a back seat to my bourbon obsession lately, and I never got too into it, so I can't recall the flavor highlights by region off the top of my head, but some areas are highlighted by more sweetness, some more smoke and peat, etc.

I'd spread my purchases over each region and decide which you like the best and then explore that region.

You must have a Golden Horseshoe up your arse the way you score bourbon.

I was wondering what that was in there. Thought the wife stashed the remote up there.

1,000?
