Anybody buy any smokes or hooch here of late?

[El Jefe]

Oh, wifey is a BIG recycler.

Yeah, mine too. I have fun harassing her about being a closet Lib.

Not that recycling is necessarily a liberal endeavor, I just like teasing her.

We no longer have any old school liquor stores. We have two newer ones and everything else is sold in the grocery stores, which usually have a lot of space committed, but generally only stock higher volume items.

Only International Wine and Liquors has a very impressive selection, but the prices are steep.

Dang, I could have dropped a grand there in about 30 seconds.

I'm bookmarking it, might have to place an order here soon.

The Handy Rye is once a year and I lucked into a bottle.
The Stagg Jr is a couple times a year, allegedly, and I grab a bottle whenever I see it. Think that's been 3X
The Old Forrester BB is 1X a year, and I scrounged 3 bottle of it till next year.
The others, at least for now, I can find in my local stores.

CG, have you tried any scotch yet?

<shaking head> No sir. I mean, if I was offered some and there was no decent AMERICAN whiskey available,
I'd drink it and most likely like it. TOO many choices in bourbon and ryes for me to ever consider Scotch.

Racist!

Yeah, our hooch is easier to drink and a better value, but the Scots and Irish produce good juice too.

That said, some of it paint remover! I've never drank bourbon that made me want to gag, but some scotch and Irish whiskeys can be down right horrible!

Stan, get yourself some Laphroaig or Ardbeg. I suspect based on your tendency toward "robust" cigars that you will appreciate a proper Islay single malt. If you find it untenable as our friend Jefferson does , get a bottle of Mcallan.

Dude! Some of that stuff tastes like a burning tire smells.

Years ago we went to a BBQ at a friends house, the usual routine was to sit around smoking and drinking while the women were inside and our host was cooking on the grill. Anyway, another guest, a guy I didn't know, had brought a bottle for everyone to try. It was an Islay scotch and tasted like liquid smoke mixed with pig shit. It put me off scotch for a long time. It literally made my gag reflex kick in. The jerk that brought it thought it was funny when he noticed my reaction. I should've punched him in the throat!

[Tomac yokctep]

Ah No.

Best get crackin then!

It was truly horrible.

If it was less expensive I could see something like Glenmorangi or Balvenie being a daily pour, but at 40 to 50 bucks per bottle its a bit too costly. So, they're just a change of pace selection.

I remember YEARS ago having an Islay and, of course, liking the smokiness.
However, as stated, too many bourbons/ryes to try before I die.

I think this evening I'll break into this bottle of Angels Envy. I'm planing on pairing it with a Behike-54. I suppose this will make my upper most, top drawer pairing to date.

Oh man. I'm jealous!!! Thats a nice damn evening right there.

[CigarGuy]

Funny. Told wifey I'd bring home fish tacos for dinner. My fav seafood place, where we have our cigar dinners a lot, has pretty
good ones. SO, the plan is, when I leave here, to go there and order take away. WHILE WAITING, pony up to the bar a get a double,
neat, err..........UP, of Angel's Envy, their premium pour there.
