That's some shit. My RR13 bottle was under $100. I love it at that price. At your prices I would hate it!Yeah but the 1 pour last night can buy a bottle of 10 year or single barrel. They were selling the bottles too for $360.

RR Store Pick FTW.Yeah but the 1 pour last night can buy a bottle of 10 year or single barrel. They were selling the bottles too for $360.
13yr is supposed to be an annual thing. I might get one this year, but I’m not actively hunting it.

Now you all have me curious. I’ve had none of the RR13 since I first opened it. Time to change that!

LOL...my 2 oz pour of Sazerac 18 at dinner the other night cost the same as a bottle at retail...if you can find it.Yeah but the 1 pour last night can buy a bottle of 10 year or single barrel. They were selling the bottles too for $360.
I say this is not terrible. In fact, it is not bad. Furthermore, it is pretty good. It has a nice nose of chocolate, caramel, bubblegum, and slight cinnamon. Not unpleasant on the palate, a little more of that cinnamon, baking spice, and red fruit. Finish lingers longer than expected for 92 proof. Damn, I gotta get my hands on a 6 year!!
Neck pour, on the nose reminds me of Calumet or Sammy Houston with that sugar bubble gum note.
A few minutes in the glass yields apple, fig?
Not viscous, not oily...where's the oak?? Drinks younger than 10 years.
Not a lot happening here, finish lingers a bit for an 88 proofer, but I hoped for more here. Neck pour though, so we shall see I suppose.

On the one hand, this is kind of a cool idea, but only because it is a practical implementation of an NFT. On the other hand, futzing flippers….

I see NFT and I think Not Fuc*ing Today. Not Fuc*ing Tomorrow either. Guess I'm getting old.
Nothing if not a sucker for a fancy Lagavulin in a fancy box.

The only Lagavulin that I have ever had is the 16. How is the 12 in comparison?
For you guys who believe in the "neck pour", if you take the unopened bottle and turn it upside down a couple times would this negate any neck pour issues? It's hard for me to believe in the neck pour.

I seem to like the neck pour more, maybe I'm just excited...
It’s not the liquid in the neck… it’s the fact that the first pours are less oxygenated (Oxidized) overall. It seems to be, with my experience and others that there’s a sweet spot for how much the whiskey is oxidized to enhance taste etc. But with most things too much oxygen will eventually make the whiskey taste gross

I get what you are saying.
Maybe it's like wine. Maybe after it's exposed to oxygen it opens up? I think it's reasonable that it could change after being exposed.
Normally much more citrus. They often trend a bit sweeter than 16 but they vary year to year.
The biggest difference is they are all cask strength. 110+ proof vs 86 for the standard stuff. Very uncommon for an Islay to be that hot.

One of my favorite pours is the Laphroaig cask strength
I’ve got to purge. The stuff on the floor is either def out out or on the chopping block. Need to cut deeper.

WTF is "Lawn Dart"?!? And what possessed you to buy it?
If you're giving Dareringer away for free, I'm your man! I've got a buddy who loves the stuff.

It was insanely cheap and part of a deal to get free shipping on some other bottles. Like “buy 5 bottles and shipping is free”.
It’s basically shitty grain alcohol with some very mild lemon soap flavor.
Need to give that Dareinger one last try but yeah, may be on the “in search of a happy belly list”. Unfortunately I think a fair bit is headed for the drain.

Still lol'ing over here at "Lawn Dart". 
Honestly I thing a lemon and ginger cocktail could be really nice on a hot summer day, but this was just really poorly done.Still lol'ing over here at "Lawn Dart".
Tried the dareinger again, practically made me gag. Something in the flavor… oof.
May figure out a few other bottles and make a “looking for a good home post” if folks don’t mike taking 95% of a bottle. I think I’ve got a bunch of those inflatable shipping sleeves around here somewhere.
