spankmeister posted:Their special releases aren't cheap, and you should decide for yourself if you think they're worth it, but IMO they have elevated blending to an artform. I haven't had a single bottle from them that I didn't like. yeah, agreed

i loving hate that wax, but at $45-50 for the various single barrels it's hard to beat these days

sean10mm posted:I'm super leery of anybody selling "a blend of straight bourbon/rye whiskey" since under US law you can put flavorings, colorings and "blending materials" in those. It's a way to skirt the stricter rules for straight whiskey basically. okay, but their labeling explicitly says no coloring, no filtering or additional flavoring etc. also it’s pretty good

spankmeister posted:Dalmore sucks, I don't get why so many people like it tbqh. honestly the last time i bought a bottle was probably a decade ago, but i remember liking it well enough then in fairness, i think they were like $40 bottles at the time i did just grab another sanaig & a highland park which are pretty great for the price imo also an oa is like weirdly cheap here relative to anything comparable?

Has anyone tried Ardbeg Fermutation? One of my local shops has it on clearance, but it’s still a little north of an impulse-bottle I think.
