I understood what you were trying to tell him. I refuse to pay stupid markup myself. That FP bottle is a steal compared to some of the secondary prices that store is asking. I’ll put my store pick 1792 FP up against many a bottle costing 2-3 times more than it. Great juice!

I was going to point out the 15 yr he had based on what your client likes, but thought it was priced at 199 which is a strong no.
That being said, this is a better deal, not terribly over retail and would likely meet his flavor profile. It's a solid, nice bottle.
2nd box arrived today. 
Not sure. That whole room is behind locked door
10-4. The ol' "If you have to ask, you likely can't afford it" lol
That 20% tax is robbery.
If he’s a client you want to take care of with something special order his that Hirsch cask strength. It’s fantastic for its price. I’ll send you link
Early Christmas. You can tell who asked what I might like and who thought they knew better.

With an inventory like that, I could have predicted that very easily.

Good, but not worth the price of admission.

Had Pappy 12yr and GTS… $55 total for both pours! You picked a good spot, Mel.
I picked them for the beer menu, because I am selfish like that. The rest was dumb luck.
Ok, so I smelled those pours, but was not brave enough to sample them.
To me, they smelled like Vin Santo (which is one of my favorite things ever). To those of you who know what Vin Santo is (@Saoliver couldn’t help here), does it taste anything like Vin Santo?

Had to Google Vin Santo. Looks like that is a barrel aged dessert wine that is bottled between 11 and 20% alcohol. Being barrel aged there are probably similarities in some flavors. Whiskey is bottled between 40 and 70% alcohol so the fire will be real. That is part of the appeal to some of usI picked them for the beer menu, because I am selfish like that.

. It took me awhile to acquire the ability to taste past the fire but once there it is worth it. And some whiskeys just don't drink hot despite the high proofs.
watch the stupid christmas/winter bottle be the best tasting
JW Blue came from 'someone who knows whiskey'.
Glenmorangie 18 came from a relative that said 'this is all that they drank when I was in scotland'(25 years ago).
Glenmorangie winter thing came from someone who had 'tagged along' with them to the store and had a much lower budget.
Redbreast 21 came from someone who asked.
Honestly, I'm not going to complain about any of them, I wanted the RB21, the Glenmorangie 18 covers a hole I have where I don't have many highlands as it isn't where my interests lay, the winter thing is fine, and the JW Blue... at least it will shut anyone up who doesn't know what they are looking at and makes a comment about how 'you like scotch and you don't have a bottle of blue?' so I don't have to stab them.

Quite frankly, I like JW Blue.
Sure it's blended, but that is part of the appeal to someone like me that can rarely afford to spend $200+ on a bottle. Single casks are all the rage, but damn... I've had a few that were absolute trash. Unless I get a chance to sample the barrel first, I simply do not trust them at $70+ a bottle.
Plus, it's "peatyness" is exactly on point for my taste, though YMMV. I have no issue putting it in a crystal decanter and leaving it out for anyone to try. They just won't be influenced by the label. In my house, the beverage is about the beverage - not the label, or the prestige.
Except the donkey juice... because that absolutely gets the label shown and the epic story told.
