Do enjoy; the bottle on the left looks awfully tempting.
Never had the bottle on the left. In fact, never heard of it either. It it is limited and expensive, so it has to be good right? LOL
I'm getting low on The Macallan Double Cask and decided to pick up a new bottle today, one I've not had before. It's a 14 year old single malt scotch which has been aged in Caribbean rum casks. Hopefully I'll like it.

Picked this up on Friday as it was only ~£30 and I've really enjoyed the last 2 Glenlivet's I've had. Still not sure about this one, although I'll persevere!

Odd. I went into the stores this week to get some bourbon and came out empty. Someone or some people had bought bottles that were recently highlighted in articles. What was left I'd already had in the past. Given the relative area, I'm going to blame Kram for my bourbon misfortune (hey, that rhymes).
LA. I've been trying to get my hands on Booker's 25 and keep being turned away, even by the places I've bought thousands of dollars worth of liquor from. And that makes me sound like a wino. That said, this is like the artificial Booker's shortage from a few years ago based on rumors. Except this stuff is supposedly magical.LOL. You on the hunt for anything in particular? Where are you located again?
........ Out of sheer curiosity I ran some queries through Google and the big sites aimed at men, such as the likes of GQ, have been doing a best whiskeys and bourbons run all summer and fall every few weeks. I never thought anyone actually read that drivel.
Can't really say that. Plenty of good bourbons under 50 GBP. There are ones that exceed 150 GBP in price, but they're very difficult to find and sold in limited numbers. Bourbon's only gotten a rise because our American media has been placing an emphasis on the product since 2008-2009. Around the same time the craft beer revolution started up.
And even then, the typical high end bourbon buyer is... well, older than 40 in most cases. Excusing my language here, but nearly all men's publications are written by idiots for twits. Their target audiences care more about getting plastered for as little as possible. Pocket lint even.

Haven't had much luck getting anything else that's been a hot ticket item.

I don't know who does bottling for who, but bourbon's been getting a huge surge in recent years so maybe I'm SOL or I need to start paying in advance for private reservations of crates. I'll check some places out in Newport and go from there.
I'm slightly annoyed at myself for not having picked up discounted Booker's at my nearest Costco about two months ago. OTOH, tons of Angel's Envy to be had. I guess if you like drinking bourbon that tastes like you've been sucking on an alcohol marinated vanilla bean pod for hours...

LOL. as much as i spend (waste money) on bourbon, nothing is $980 good.I was curious, and I see that Booker's 25th Anniversary a very limited edition product from 2014 that's incredibly hard to track down, few remaining bottles, but there's a few sources, see link, average price is $980

That is funny.
At the full drink that has not been consumed?
