My BIL wants me to bring him whisky from Scotland.
He's seen the Ben Nevis 10 Year Old or Springbank - Campbeltown Loch Blended Malt Whisky
Do you have any other suggestions for a good Single malt Scotch that’s unique/favourite to Scotland, something he can’t get in South Africa? He's aiming for under £50, but if it's really worth is he can push it to £100.
Stated allocations opened at 1300 EST, despite refreshing constantly from minute 1, I was only able to add it to my cart before it out of stock. Curious if anyone was able to actually get one or if it was scraped by bots/scalpers.
I know it’s a bit of a long shot since it’s a niche thing, but I missed the boat on their Paladin +1 bottle at the end of last year. Google has failed me in terms of trying to find some through a secondary seller.
Any one on here have any leads/thoughts as to where I might start looking to pick a bottle up?
Hey all, I am looking to get a nice bottle of whiskey for my brother. Willing to spend around 1k on a bottle, but I do not know the first thing about whiskey. I know my brother likes Balvenie, and I do not believe he has the 25. Local store seems to have it for $1,100, but I’ve seen people here on Reddit saying they’ve gotten it for around 600$. Just curious if this price is worth it, and if not are there any other recommendations close to this price point? I’ve also been looking for Yamazaki 18 but can’t seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated!
Guys, I'm going to Tampa & Ocala, Florida on a work trip and I want to hunt for some bourbon and rare tequilas. Are there any stores in particular that you all recommend for me to check out?? I'm only there for 3 days 🙏🏻
Trying to get through a bottle I’m not the most fond of, so I’ve been making what I’ve been calling the lazy man’s old fashioned. It’s just bourbon, a luxardo cherry, and a spoonful of the luxardo syrup. Stir it with ice and voila, a lazy old fashioned
Was holding on to this for something special. A special person in my life is in hospice care. Here's to a great life lived. Love you, Sandie.
New to whiskey and wondering which ones are worth it.
Did a double take when I saw it was the barrel proof.
JFK Airport
Redbreast 21 for $233
Buy or pass?
heard theres a pretty decent variation between store picks is there any barrel thats better than others? have access to quite a few store picks not sure if its worth getting 4-5 more of these of they are all basically the same.
A delicious combination if you haven’t tried it already, highly recommended.
Hello Whiskey Lovers,
My dads 50th birthday is this weekend and I figured I better get him a gift besides the gift of my presence. I’m looking for a whiskey that isn’t too expensive (<$100), is actually tasty, and can be found at most liquor stores (located in Midwest). His go to whiskeys are all types of Crown and Redneck Riviera. Thank you for your help!
Anyone win the raffle for a bottle?
I got iced out. 🫠
All I know is that we haven’t touched any of this stuff in at least 12 years and I’m assuming it was a retirement gift for him so it at least puts it at 22 year old
Cause I did not.
