I call those bottles " guest " or " clueless relative " bottles. Great to serve to folks who just want to be part of the group and dont know much about good spirit.

Yeah, same. We have a local place that does this and its terrible stuff. The price on the " Champions Cut " had me laughing.

Anyone purchased any of this?

We have it at work, or did at least. I can always ship you some.

And its the really nasty fridge ice maker cubes too. Freaking yuck. If you have to use ice at least make some that isnt that, which always tastes off to me.

I tried this myself and didnt really care for it. Though I did like it more than the 1920 on its own. That one has this cherry cough drop note ( think Ludens if you are old enough to know what that is ) that I am not crazy about. Love that 1910 though, but I am a full on double oak stan.

Had a new glass engraved, so I had to try it. For science of course.

Its still not a bad price for an 18, most others besides Macallan are in that range. But man do I wish I purchased a back up at the old cost.

Prices are wild man. I used to be able to get a bottle of Tomatin 18 here in NC, for $100! Its close to two now just 3 years later.

Laphroaig has a note that is often refered to as " hospital " or " bandaid ". Its hard to describe beyond that. Peat can do some odd things to barley. Some peat is like a twiggy sort of chimney smoke flavor, some is a bit meaty or bbq meat type of notes. Its pretty wild what the Scots can do...

I bet this is amazing. I am not a peat guy but I would be willing to give this one a go. I have always heard that the peat starts to fade a bit on these older ones. Is it still a bottle of hospital or is it toned down?

One of last years or this years? I havent bought a Bookers since they raised the price again. It was up to like $130 here, its come back down to I think $90 now though. It used to fly off the shelf too, now there are cases stacked up.

Worth a buy if you spot it. Not overpowered by the honey at all. Its well crafted. I think its under $60 retail.

So, any update on Jaylin?

Exactly.
