Hey Simpleman!!!
 

Check it out....3 shots of Dalmore, 12year, 15 year, and Reserve. I'll let you know in a bit how it compares to Glenmorangie.:datawiz:

Hotel has a promotion on it. $55 for the 3 shot sampler.

12 year has a lot of bite, 15 better. About to try reserve.

$55? :faint:

:lol::datawiz:

The Reserve was good, but the 18 year Glenmorangie that I got Scott is way better. :yesnod: Next time I'm getting him the 25 year. :yesnod:

I drink for a month on $55. :shots:

That would last me 2 days. :lol:

:shots:
That’s not even a good bottle of wine in a restaurant.
Not a bad price for the sampler you described. How big a pour on those? Was it a heavy ounce?

Plus tip.



:dance:

1.5 oz each

I tipped 20% on the bill, and also gave Christian a $100 cash tip, as tonight is the last night I'll see him in this setting. He's the one who has been doing all of the shopping and fridge stocking for me all these months. :yesnod: I think I brought a tear to his eye. He didn't want to accept the benji, but I insisted. :yesnod:

I'm not a Scotch drinker, but there was a hotel in a town near me that advertised it's bar had the largest selection of Scotch whiskeys in the western hemisphere. They had some that cost $600 for a shot. The place closed up a few years ago, and I wonder what happened to all that stuff.

I'll spend my $55 on ammo.

i spent my $$ on clearing a septic line blockage today. $125. sigh.

The three bottles purchased at retail would probably total in the $300.00 range.
I like to try before I buy; that sampler would be a very wise investment if I decided I did not care for any or all. No nearly full bottles sitting unused, no buyer's remorse.

$600.00 a shot! Wonder what that was. I know there are some ultra rare whiskeys that can go for tens of thousands of dollars a bottle but it is hard to imagine a bar buying one of those and selling it by the shot.

Probably need to start getting more fiber in your diet....

:funnier::funnier::funnier:.

I know you have to bring in water but maybe more water needs to go down the lines to keep them clear :yesnod:

$55.00 decision...

Fill my tank

or

Get tanked.


I filled my tank. Maybe next time.

I'm fortunate. My palate is about as sophisticated as a WalMart store.

Wife bought me this for Father's day/Birthday. I've had a few glasses and it's good stuff, but I wouldn't waste money on another bottle.

Well, I TRIED to get 21 year Glenmorangie at Total Wine, but they didn't have it, just the 18 year that I got you.

So I figured I'd try this...a little splurge for my birthday. :datawiz:

I'll report back how it compares to the Dalmore and the stuff you let me sample.

Yummy, and WAY better (and smoother) than the stuff in JC, but still not as smooth as what you shared with me. I like your stuff the best. :yesnod:

Friggin Scott. Hasn't even replied to this thread yet, yet look what showed up at my door step this evening...

Scott clearly doesn't understand that my generosity was out of his (and Ben's) constant benefactorship toward GWiz as she's grown up. I don't need anything in return, but the gift is MOST appreciated.

Now you're it! Wait for what shows up next. :lol:

Glenmorangie 18 has been one of my favorites for several years. Very smooth, wonderful taste profile and doesn't break the bank.
Glen scotch shows up in my scotch class almost every other time. :shots:

Their 21 is very smooth and there is a bit more density to the flavor than younger batches.

Sorry I've been running man. Just got back from CT and spent all day trying to play catch up with my newest employee out sick.

Was stoked for you to try our the new scotch and see what you think.

The scotch snobs say they can pick out "notes of coconut" on the palate. :lol:

Happy birthday in a bit over an hour brutha :cert:

p.s. now we gotta work on your beer palate :leaving:
Scott

Beer spew. :lol::datawiz:

I like craft beer. Turn me onto something. I like the fruity stuff, like Shock Top and Blue Moon.

Thanks again for the generous gift. I'll give you a full report tomorrow. Been up since 3:30, so bedtime for bonzo now.

The Glencadam you got me is really nice, and has a nice aroma. Has quite a bit more bite than the Macallan of the same age, but both bottles will be around for awhile. I definitely prefer the scotch to be extremely mellow, with little to no bite. :yesnod::datawiz: I can definitely taste the multiple different flavors in both.
