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.

Yup, never liked any of it.

I have never cared for their spirit in any form. Same with all the WT offerings as well.

Yeah I dont know if that is around anymore lol. We just have the regular 12.

We sell the Real McCoy but I am not a buyer at 40 abv. The Doorlys are 48, which is a good spot for rums. We have a place about 20 min from me called Muddy River that if you didnt know better, you would think it was rum made in a tropical climate. Their Navy Strength version is a total banger...

This has become my summer go to. Its a million degrees in NC in the summer, and I just dont want whisk(e)y then. Another amazing value is if you have a Total Wine that sells booze, look for their Doorly's 14. Its a Foursquare exclusive to TW and for $60 it competes with FS's dated releases they...

There are some damn good tequilas out there and they wont break your wallet.
