A couple of years ago, at Christmas time, we had a "perfect storm" of folks who really enjoy expensive beers, and planned a get-together. I bought 2 4-packs of Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA at about $10 per bottle, and a couple of other very expensive beers that weren't quite that pricey, put them in a cooler, and we all enjoyed some of the fruits of my labors. It was a "playmate" cooler that had about $200 of beer in it. Others at the same get-together also brought unusual, hard-to-get beers that were very expensive. We probably went through more than $500 in beer in 2 hours. Good times. We still talk about it once in a while. ![]() I would do it again in a heartbeat. Why do I bother to make the money I make if I am not going to enjoy it with my friends and family when the opportunity presents itself? ![]() |

It's nice to have a good scotch to bring out for special occasions but my regular drink is much more affordable and lasts me for 3 months. Much less when my next door neighbor comes over for movie night.
![]() I always enjoy finding hidden gems that are really affordable due to the lack of hype. Somebody mentioned a Highland Park earlier and that stuff is outstanding. They finally sold one of the last bottle of Dark Orgins and I wish I had more. ![]() Scott

I worked hard for over 40 years so I could spend that, or a lot more, on a bottle of booze, an expensive car or vacation, or whatever else we want. It's just money and you can't take it with you when you die.

If you are a Scotch drinker I want you to try something. I am a big fan of pairings. First pairing a 50/50 mix of Aberlour 12 and Aberlour A'Bunadh. Both are great on their own but a mix is amazing. Before drinking this chew on a couple of Kalamata olives. Sip the scotch. Smoke your favorite cigar if that's your thing. I find this amazing.
Let me know. The brininess of the olives with the scotch is an amazing pairing as well as the cigar. |

The Aberlour A'Bunadh is a high proof Scotch, about 85 bucks a bottle. The 12 is average and 54 bucks or so. Blended 50/50 they are amazing. I am a nicaraguan fan, mostly Crowned Heads, Tatuaje, and My Father cigars.

I usually have a My Father cigar on the golf course. With Scotch I prefer Padron cigars.

![]() I love whiskey as much as the next guy (and even moreso than @Knooger) but I would never pay more than $200/bottle for it. ![]() However, I'm willing to let you convince me otherwise. Pour me a flight of Macallans of various ages and I promise to keep an open mind. ![]() |
