Love that glass! Brand?

 

[BSteck]

It's possible that I've just not had good stuff

Just like in chipping - get samples.

Moser. (Don't judge me...they're stupidly expensive, but my wife got them wholesale through work. But they are insanely great.)

We judge you for plenty, trust me.

 

[gopherblue]

Houston, we have a problem....

so sad. Cork broke on my Elmer T Lee so I just used a silicone wine stopper

Decanter?

I have spare stoppers, but the Abelour bottle has a really wide diameter opening, and none fit. And my only decanter is 120 miles away.



I’ve contacted Abelour about a replacement stopper.

So, just thought I'd update this post...

...I contacted Aberlour about a stopper June 1st, and after an initial "thanks for your email, we'll be in touch" response, they went radio-silent. I followed-up a month or so ago and they sent me a replacement...attached to a brand new bottle of the 18 year old! Problem is...I can't use the stopper on my old bottle until I finish the new one...so I'm writing another email....

Googles Moser glassware.
'Holy crap! No way I'll ever pay that much for a glass.'
Looks around at chip collection and realizes that yah... I probably will.

Same. Same. But seriously, even at wholesale, they're still insanely spendy. Beautiful crystal--thin at the top but with a lovely heavy base...every time I hand-wash them I'm a nervous wreck...and need another dram to calm down.

... and then you have to clean *that* glass. And then pour yourself another dram. Dang - what a delicious cycle.

I haven't read even a few pages of this thread, so I'm just jumping in with an opinion:

I'm a pussy, and don't drink hard alcohol well. It's possible that I've just not had good stuff, so I've been tainted and haven't continued to tried higher ends. I don't actually even know the difference between scotch, bourbon, or whatever other genres of whiskey there are.
However, I LOVE the peanut butter flavored shit. It's possible that you connoisseur's wouldn't even qualify it as a whiskey haha.

Rams Point and Revel Stoke specifically.

To make it even MORE dessertie, I like to add blackberry or raspberry Chambord to it for the classic Peanut Butter and Jelly flavor.

On my off days, I drink $15/fifth butterscotch schnapps and love it. You’ll get no judgement from me!

Dude.. I LOVE Butterscotch Scnapps.... Actually... I I might stop and get some on the way home now that you put the thought in my head... It's been a hot minute.

@FDLmold We could start a separate 'Classless Drink' thread...for me, and you, and everybody who drinks white claws.

 

[FDLmold]

Ain’t no laws when you drinkin’ claws.

What’s the good word in Japanese whiskeys?

Larceny barrel proof and Knob 12 about to disappear from shelves, not that they had much trouble doing that anyway. They are Whisky Advocate’s top 2 for 2020. They put Bulleit Blender’s Select at #4, so that is on my list now too.

I've got a few Knob 12yrs in my back stock. I guess I need a few more.

Eagle Rare has gone on allocation status here in Colorado too.

Plenty of Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace at my favorite store. And I just saw a TON of Buffalo Trace at Costco the other day. LOL.

 

[BSteck]

And I just saw a TON of Buffalo Trace at Costco

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a literal ton.

But yah... had a store employee mention that Eagle Rare was going on allocation status about 6 months ago. I didn't have any trouble finding it even after she said that so I didn't get too concerned. Then about two months ago all the store slots for it were empty (in northern CO). Now if a few bottles hit the shelves they're gone quick.

I just remembered I am holding a Makers 101 for somebody, but I forget who. If it was you send me a message.

It was me, but it's actually on shelves here now!

 

[Pinkdan]

@FDLmold ship me it with my China chip order?

Wait really? What liquor store? I could just go pick one up since we live close

Pretty sure every one in Murfreesboro has or at least had one in the past couple weeks.

 

[Pinkdan]

I haven’t been hunting these past few weeks

 

[Jonesey07]

I'm hoping I get the call from one of the few raffles I'm in.

picked this up today along with another Old Carter.

I'm supposed to go pick one of those up from my local this week set aside for me, how is it? Been wanting to try it for years.

It’s a cinnamon bomb. I love it. I’ve got 5 bottles now and will be buying more.

Is this the newly re-released version?

 

[Jonesey07]

Most you just stop by the store and sign up. Buying bottles sometimes gets more entries.

 

[Saoliver]

Must be. I have bought all of mine in the past few months.
