Seems to take decades for those adrenochrome people to die might as well drink for the death of America.
You’re about 160 years too late for that party, son.
I got a bottle of blue label for similar reasons. A kind of wager to myself, I guess I won and lost.
I wonder if hunter is going to make a showing among all the NG and police.
Where'd you get it?
Online company. It was nothing special for how old it was. Cost about 350 bucks?
I know top brands that are that old sell in the thousands or even tens of thousands
Didn't even know they sold 'em.
Where, on ebay?
Funny, I do buy (some) vintage books, the 1600s, shoulda known they'd sell old liquor too.
Pretty neat.

I will look for what I bought and post it.
Couldn't find the one I bought but feel better about the price after looking at these

You're gonna be waiting for a LONG time. That bastard has at least 30 more years.
I hope you enjoy it and feel that it was a good value... I have experimented with a few of the very old or ultra-premium scotches and in general I have decided that the difference between a 16 or 18 year old verses a 20, 30 or 40 year old is not worth the hundreds if not thousands extra in price. It is like the difference between buying a $200,000 Ferrari vs buying a $2,000,000 Bugatti... you get incremental improvements in speed/power/luxury but an exponential increase in price.
Agree 100%... I drink speyburn 10 yr.. about 30 dollars or 27 if you buy them at twin liquor.
No joke the best scotch I have ever had. Super smooth and mellow with some flavor as well almost no harsh after taste a little burn but not bad. Absolutely the best. The first time I had it I was already drinking and had a cigar so I though I was just over hyping it... well I on purpose got up in the morning brushed my teeth and waited a little bit then took a good sized swig and washed it around my mouth. Nope still very good and smooth with almost no burn.
speyburn 10 yr
Now here is where I disagree with you... at the low end of the market I think there is a huge quality increase that you can get for only minor price increases.
I would gladly pay $45 for a McCallan 12 rather than a Speyburn 10 yr for $30... and I would even step up to a Aberlour 16 for $65 and feel like it was money well spent... but I think stepping up to a McCallan 18 for $350 is just a waste of money
I guess the difference is I really like smooth mellow scotch. Opposite of a peat head. I don't need a ton of flavor and speyburn 10 is my go to lucky for me.. there is a Japanese scotch that is very good as well for around 35 to 40 bucks.. if I drink peaty scotch I almost have to smoke a cigar for a good 10 minutes then enjoy the peat or stronger scotch
Price to quality is an exponential curve for many things. You get a tiny bit better for a whole lot more price. I can definitely tell the difference between a 12 and 14 year etc, but I am quite happy with a 12 year.
You are clear to have a drink for Cheney. He and Rumsfeld won't be attending any more Black Sun gatherings.
LMAO!!!
