Ecclesiastes 10:2:
I'm a big fan of Laphroig, Lagavulin, and Oban. I had a chance about 6 years ago to try some 18 year McCallan, and that was damn good too.
I really don't drink nearly as much as I used to, I have a bottle of Oban that I opened like 4 or 5 years ago and it's maybe half full still. I have a bottle of Lagavulin that I bought right around the same time frame that still sits unopened in my pantry next to most of a case of wine, a few bottles of Champaign all from our wedding 5 years ago, a bottle of Kraken rum, and probably some other stuff that I don't remember that its there.
Two of the more interesting choices
But otherwise just some Bushmills for me.

Saw it at a gift shop in Inverness, bought one each for family and friends. Then I found out you can order it online. https://www.htfw.com/multiple-distil...isky-pack-of-3

Nice thread! Currently I’ve been partial to hot bourbons and ryes. I’m a big fan of both Booker’s and Little Book, but it’s a tad expensive to drink regularly. Almost as expensive (now) is my other favorite: Resilient 14. For a little less $$ I found Wilderness Trail with the yellow label- has quite a bit of corn in the mash and tastes great!
A friend of mine and I buy each other stuff when we feel the other would enjoy something we find that isn't an every day find.
He brought me a bottle last weekend, Golden Moon Distillery Gunfighter American Rye Double Barrel.
Finished in French Oak Port casks, which I always find very pleasant. Figgy Raisin undertones with peppery vanilla. Not too sweet, but it's in there and a good corn/rye mix in the mash, kind of a Bourye more so than a straight up rye. It's 100 proof, but not hot at all, very smooth and mellow.
Good stuff for the price. It's a bit of an odd one for a rye, not your typical offering- but I am really enjoying it. Especially after the long week I've had...

I’m going to look for that one, it sounds just like what I like. In other news, a local distillery is doing a barrel club- I can buy a 5 or 10 gallon barrel and they help me prep the barrel and fill the barrel. They have to age it on premises, but I can come take tastes or even have a party and drink from it whenever I want (within reason) and bottle it when I want- 3 days or 3 years, although she recommends 8-14 months for the five gallon barrel. I’m going to sign up for this when she gets more barrels in about two weeks.
