Middle aged school teacher here. Slaps is the word you need. Everything else you mention is a generation of students too old, and none of the terms work anyway even in 2008 for what you are trying to say lol.

So we indeed hope that a bottle of bourbon slaps, and that it is not mid. A sus bottle of bourbon is bad too.

Oh, and if the A123 is "lit AF", it's amazing.

Try something not from the Kidalton three. Port Charlotte, Caol Ila, and definitely Kilchoman have significantly different profiles. They’re absolutely Islay but far less or, in some cases, none of that iodine/band aid note.

So I'm thinking of going with(hidden for Kloberer if he wants it to be a surprise):


Glenmorangie Signet

Islay without iodine but same distillery to really experience peat's influence:
The Classic Laddie - Unpeated
Port Charlotte 10 - Heavily Peated

Speyside Sherry - Sherry influence, one with light smoke:
Glenfiddich 15 Solera
Macallan 12

Highland - Lightly peated and not:
Deanston 12
Oban 14

If peating or not:

Hazelburn (unpleated, tripple distilled)
Springbank (medium peat, 2.8X distilled)
Longrow (heavily peated, double distilled)

One distillery three variations

While I really enjoy Springbank and think it brings something interesting to the sampling, if someone is struggling to get into Scotch I don't know that the way to ease them is to expose them to Campbeltown or the Islands. That might be steering into the skid.

Aiming for approachable and accessible. At least around here not a single one of those is ever available.

So that shows a fair price. But is it a fair “secondary” price. I’d assume fair secondary would be a little more. Not sure though

X2 - BoozAp works really well most of the time, but you have to take it with a grain of salt, especially with bottles like Stagg, Eh Taylor, Weller, etc that are often crazy hard to find in many states. Location can drive some of those prices bonkers.

Surprises are overrated...
I have a bottle of Glenfiddich 15 Solera and Macallan 12.
 
I have found that BoozApp PLUS joining a secondary market gives you the best possible information on what bottles trade/sell for. Some bottles don't pop up much on secondary, especially mid-tier bottles like an FAE-01, so BoozApp helps fill in the gaps.
 
Still trying to build up a base collection of some of the more talked about bottles in this thread (at least the ones in my budget!)

Came across a bottle of Eagle Rare 10yr for under $100 for the very first time. I’ve been looking for some time with no luck. Paid $70. BoozeApp says that’s still way over fair. Thoughts from anyone here?

I’ve seen it from $26-$50 around here. Most places still mark it up over $100 though
 
I got a couple bottles at retail (like $33 maybe) from my supermarket a couple years ago, and have seen zero in the wild since then. I've been offered $75 for one, so $70 is not that out of line if that's the best you can do and want to have some.

if you buy it once it is fine. if that's your regular price that's too much.

however chase what you like, not what us degens talk about
