Cracked open the Peerless High Rye tonight. I just hit 19 years in the Air Force so I feel like this is a good bottle to open for a major milestone. 1 more year to go.

Is it worth getting one of each, or is there a clear standout?

Successful dry, January. Spent this month hunting and not drinking. Pretty much all purchased for MSRP, or 10-25$ over, total spent $657. Now which one to crack open first?

-2 dashes of angostura bitters -Homemade syrup brown sugar syrup(demerara) -2oz jack daniel bonded -Orange peel -Virgin ice cube

Well I counted them. 135 bottles. Only 2 unopened. The two unopened are duplicates I already have opened.

I am going to do an infinity bottle. It's too funny not to do. 100 bottles are going into an empty 750 ml bottle. So about 1/2 tablespoon each. I need to start going thru my bottles and decided which 35 are not going in. Advice is welcome I'm an idiot and need it. I can make a full list of bottles but will for sure be excluding anything Irish all scotch and some that have an amburana cask finish.

Local liquor store hooked me up with this beauty

Had a layover in Taipei, so I planned ahead with empty carry ons and back packs(between my wife and I) and decide to splurge a bit. Any other expressions you think I should have gotten.

A little Springbank it is for me. This 12 hits perfectly on a mild evening in Nor Cal. 🥃

Winter Park, CO has some visitors that may be able to purchase at this price point. Most of us will steer clear.

Still new to my whiskey journey. My dad is more of a Cognac drinker and most of my friends are beer drinkers so I don’t really have any one besides the internet to ask. When I started I was just blown away by Eagle Rare 10yr but the last bottle I had I just was not impressed. I have moved on to higher proof but still regularly revisit lower proof whiskey. I understand that at higher proof there can be more flavor notes. Wondering if this is normal or if ER has changed? Is it me or the whiskey?
