The PA Lottery for it is shut down due to Covid‐19...

I've won a few local lotteries for Pappy 10/12/15 ... but for all of my other allocated bottles, it's day-long hunting around NJ/NYC. Lots of wheeling-and-dealing...

 

[Klobberer]

Only Pappy I ever found was at Circle Liquors on 31 outside of Pennington about 15 years ago. 20 YO for $80...

One of my absolute favorites...Longrow CV. But now whenever I see “CV,” I think Coronavirus, which seems like bad juju. F@ck you, covid.

 

[GATZBY]

Impressive!! Wish I had that many options

BTW, is that Beach Cottage Oak vinyl plank flooring with 3.25" baseboards? (I have the exact same thing if it is...)

Bacon shot glasses, dipped in chocolate, and filled with whisky. Any questions?

Infinity bottles are fun! I use the decanter from our wedding registry to keep mine. It's guarded by legos...

Nothing fancy to record the additions like that cool spiral label, I just jot them down on a piece of paper. The challenge is holding off on tasting it until you get enough not to drain it in one sitting. Well, at least for me, but I tend to drink a lot.

 

[Coyote]

Can you explain that to my wife?

Try to get drinking wives/partners

 

[BusinessAzUsual]

Another vote for Eagle Rare if you can find it.

I also really like the unique flavor and finish of Stranahan’s Colorado Whisky cask strength and Michters American Whiskey (when you can find it).

 

[Klobberer]

Never had the Stranahan's, but the other two are worth every penny!

I know what I’m about, son. Barrel proof with whiskey stone.

 

[pltrgyst]

Must be a Seattle thing, eh? You put rocks in the glass to make it look like you're drinking more?

I've never had the 136 before. The 135.5 proof is one of my favorites. Its the only bourbon I have ever added ice too. I add one ice cube, and let it sit for a few minutes before enjoying!!

I have to admit that I have never heard the term "infinity bottle" before.

But despite that fancy name, I did buy the bottle below when they came out in 1995, drank it down for a year or two to almost the end, and then have been adding the last little bit of many, many bottles of Scotch whisky to it over the years. And subtracting along the way, naturally.

(BTW, for those who cook, we do the same thing with spices and dried herbs: one canister for herbs only, and one for spices. They're our house blends, constantly evolving, and we probably use them in half the dishes we make.)

I love all Clynelish

 

[Max D]

Is that a Takeo Kikuchi glass?

No unfortunately not. They came with a decanter i bought a few years ago. Definitely cheaper than Takeo Kikuchi.
