50 well loved High Sierra 5’s for someone that can help me out with a Russel’s 13 or JM Cigar Blend. This is a chip forum after all, but I think I like bourbon more unfortunately.

I value these at around $100?

Any reviews on the Lagavulin 8. I actually saw it in the local store today. I love the 16. I can't imagine its anywhere near as good as that.

They are different animals, Bill. The 16 is 43% and the 8 is 48% which makes a difference in the drinking. The 8 has a lot more of the bourbon cask maturation while the 16 has a bit more sherry maturation. The youth on the 8 brings in more peat and smoke than the 16 and it's less sweet as well being a bit rougher. The 8 is something kinda in-between a Lagavulin 16 and an Ardbeg 10, although it is less earthy than the Ardbeg 10.

When the Lagavulin 16 was only $10 to $15 more expensive than the 8, it was hard too go with the younger one. Now that the 16 has shot up in price, the 8 sounds more appealing.

But again, very different takes on Lagavulin but both are very enjoyable to me.
 
Happy Fathers Day everybody! Got a nice surprise from my daughter this morning!View attachment 723285

I'm a fan. This is one of the few bourbons that I prefer with an ice cube in it. It also makes a great old fashioned.

First sip… delicious and unique with still a pretty high proof at 119.3.

I opened my Rare Breed Rye tonight. Now this is coming from a guy who loves Rare Breed and Russell's 13 and basically all WT products. But OMFG, this is so wonderfully good. It is hot and spicy, but not ethanol hot, and just when the hot and spice has started to overstay its welcome, it dissipates, and the flavors remain, and they are magnificent.
