There's a bar near me which has whiskey Wednesdays. All 1oz pours under $10 are half off. Great way to taste scotch on the cheap.

Some brands are over $60 a fifth. How many oz. in a fifth anyway ?
Live entertainment, great food, free parking ( over night if you need to be sent home ). And benefit local arts program.

I had never been there. Heard in the past there were great food on site ( instead of $55, I believe it was $120 ) from high end local restaurants.

But if I drink and when I drink, I never gorge myself on food. Always snack but never fill up.

    If it's good and something you like, why not. Im all for good craft beer these days, gave up the macro poop long ago. Yes I have ponied up $10 for a 10 oz pour of Bourban barrel stout, and other seasonal/rare brews on several occasions.

    And I like Scotch whiskey.....but Irish is good and the occasional bourbon too πŸ™‚

    I guess it all matter whether one likes the added flavor or how heavy the flavor.

    I like every thing that's not too sweet. If I want sweet flavor, I'd up for a cognac. My M-I-L really loved the port. A taste of it is fine but I won't be able to hug it all night. Nothing worse than a hangover with sugar based drink.

    Well, if that's the case. 10 tokens will not be enough if I were 10 years younger.

      Mmm...

        Interesting, never had this, then again, a lot of the brands are foreign to me.

        Hint of seaweed and peat smoke ? Wow, unusual to say the least.

          Release Still the case here, I have been known to go through a bottle on my own, it's not advisable, but very doable. I started buying the liter bottles, they hold up better. I fell in love with Bulliet Bourbon, there is something about it that just hits my palet just right and the 10 year, ooohhh my that's just great stuff.

          Scotch goes to Laugavulen 16 year, amazing balance, but not for you if you don't like the smoke and peat.

          One really interesting one is called Camp Fire from High West Distillery. They blend a scotch, Bourbon and Rye together to make a delightful smokey whiskey.

          None of it holds a candle to Pappi Van Winkle 18 or 22, but that's 8x the cost so not really a fair comparison.

            "None of it holds a candle to Pappi Van Winkle 18 or 22, but that's 8x the cost so not really a fair comparison."

            Watched them complete the process of bagging this product at Buffalo Trace distillery in 2014. Wouldn't even think of spending that kind of money for a bottle.

              I had learned those 1 liter or 1.5 liter bottles are too dangerous.
              A 5th will be just right for a week worth of sipping. What am I talking about,.......... I'm on an alcohol diet. Arthritis and gout put a damper on my drinking. Plus old liver and kidneys needs a break from my younger years so they can go farther.
              Used to love to have a drink with friends ( those who can behave after the drinks ).

              Release
              "Distilled in the same way since its inception over 75 years ago, this ten-year-old pours a brilliant gold colour; smoky aromas fill the glass along with some seaweed and medicinal notes and just a hint of sweetness; full rounded mouthfeel with inviting sweetness, hints of sea salt and lingering peatiness on the finish."

              It is SO GOOD!!!!!

                another good one:
                "Bottled straight from the cask and unchillfiltered for the purest expression of the malt; this is extremely smoky, peaty and intense - not for the faint of heart; warm, slightly medicinal, peat smoke flavours are layered with citrus and floral notes that present themselves with time."

                  DC300 Laugavulen

                  "Considered by many to be the benchmark for Islay malts this classic pours a golden amber colour and wafts from your glass with intense smoky peat and iodine. The palate is full flavour, rich and smooth with peat, figs, dates, and vanilla followed by an enduring smoky and dry finish."

                  Will have to try this one!!! Thanks!
