How can we make our boring whisky sell? I know! Put a bird on it!

We get it, you have a backsplash.

And a sweet cutting board, I think it came from the mall! I keep it in my house. :lol:

2PD: made myself a MWND Old fashioned. This is interesting!

1PD: White Chocolate Russian and "Scrooged" with the Missus. Somehow this became our thing while waiting for the kids to settle on Christmas Eve.

1PD: Lagavulin 16


I got a bottle of that EC10 pick waiting for me in BR. Called in a favor because I didn't know if it would still be around when I get into town next week! :lol:

1PD Eagle Rare Old Fashioned, while I catch up and drool over all those unobtainable bottles. Dang you guys have been busy in here!

I don't know anybody who even knows anybody who can get the premium stuff, but this cool tin High West mug showed up in my mailbox today, so that's something. :)



1PD: Might as well finish off this Rendezvous Rye...

You guys might like this. I visited my brother in Norway this summer, this was the entire Bourbon section of his local liquor store. Jim and Jack are about $50 a pop, Four Roses Single Barrel is about $70! Bulleit is 'only' $35 so that's his go-to when he can't get to duty-free in time.



2PD: Glendronach 12

1PD: Hibiki Harmony

My first real drink in over two months! Getting over some medical stuff and starting to feel human again. I've got some catching up to do!

They did have some bottles of Rhetoric 22yr for $169 (750ml). How off is that? Is that what people are paying retail?

Also, first store to find WLW Antique. They want $39 (750ml) for it. Is that also jacked up?

I was in the expensive-but-super-convenient shop next door to my office (in Austin) yesterday. They have a Rhetoric 22 behind the glass and I *think* the guy was asking $149, but he rattled off a handful of them pretty quickly. I think their EHTSB was $75? The had some Weller Antique for $34, but last time I picked one up it was $28. Sounds like your store may be 10-15% higher across the board than mine?

I picked up a Rhetoric 22 from TotalWine for $99 but I think that was a TOTAL fluke. Their website let me buy it online at 9:30am and pick it up after work. I told a co-worker a few hours later but they had already listed it as sold-out by then. Probably the best deal I'll find for a long while! :lol:

1PD: Since we're emptying our OWA's, man down!
