Both of those are great. I bought shenks bc it was packaged well but I actually enjoy it a lot. I had some non-bourbon friends come over last night and they enjoyed it too

The same place that you got your last two bottles. In fact, you got one meant for me.
I helped facilitate that trade to make you both very happy.
Hmmm... Wonder where they got the idea to put a metal animal figurine on top of the cork...
Same company. Caribou Crossing is from Buffalo Trace (Sazerac). It’s pretty good Canadian whisky, if you like Canadian whisky.
Had a pour from each of these tonight. Both are very good, but very different.
Doing a work “retreat” style thing. Several folks coming in for it are bringing some whiskey to share in the evening. Bunch of Irish folks coming in and the big cheese is bringing some ‘very old Macallan’.
Being known as “a whiskey guy” I wanted to bring some stuff that people could enjoy they hadn’t had before but wasn’t just all obscure non approachable stuff. (I was also advised, “don’t bring anything that isn’t already open” as it looks like you are just sucking up by going out and buying something.)
Here are my selections.
Orchard house is super approachable.
Lagavulin 12 cs is a really nice peaty Islay and I know their will already be other inlays.
Red spot is for my Irish co workers who can’t get red in Ireland.
Dramfool is for the aficionado.

The 11 and 12 are high on my list to try. I might have to have a pour of the 16 tonight!
Honestly, and I like Lagavulin quite a bit, imho the only thing worth drinking aside from the 16 are the yearly cask strengths. The 8 and the distillers edition and the offermans have all been so so at best.
Tell me more about this hot whiskey. Thanksgiving is next week so potentials to try it out?
Hot Whiskey
3/4 cup hot water
1 1/2 oz whiskey
2 to 3 tablespoons honey, to taste
2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
1 lemon rind
1 cinnamon stick (optional, for garnish)
I skip the cinnamon stick.
I use the creamy honey in a jar, not the honey bear kind.
Add honey to mug, then boiling water and stir until honey is liquid, then add whiskey & lemon juice, stir. Add rind & cinnamon stick if you like.
I mean, anything with that much honey is going to taste well, but the Suntori’s profile really works well.

Oh okay. Hahah. I thought you found some online.
Did you grab any of the Hirsch Cognac Finish? I usually don’t like finished whiskys but my friend who’s palate I trust said it was amazing. I grabbed 6 bottles just in case I like it

Feeling perfectly fine but having a little high octane germ killer just in case 
I’m going to pass right now, only because I’ve bought so much, and have hopes of getting some really top shelf bottles. Hoping for one tomorrow.
Here is today’s haul:

Pacific Northwest meetup/barrel buy? I’d be down!
Their single barrels are amazing!
