One of my clients is Chivas. I'm hoping they fly me out there to meet them and I take back crates of the 18 year.

[lopakman]

so why wouldn't you open it?

I think it's just the collector in me.  If I open it and drink it then I won't have it anymore.  I will drink it eventually but it's rare enough that I'll save it for a special occasion i.e, job promotion, repeat of Triple Crown next year.

Ooh, hoard that sheet.  Get you a butt load of those and then do a Scrooge McDuck in all your full bottles!  Man are you going to have fun with that if it happens.

Just tell them your from Titletown, they'll be showering you in gifts of expensive scotch.  Everyone wants to be associated with a winner.

herp derp crown royal is the best whiskey ever

so annoying. i do like the quilts that people make out of the bags, though.

[HerrSonntag]

When i was in college i was really into Irish history, especially the war of independance, so i've always had/enjoyed a bottle of Michael Colins whiskey, though i don't know if you can still get it anywhere

[lopakman]

open that bottle up and i open you up, son. thats something you drink when barry o stops by your house. save it.

i take this back. drink it, get a nicer bottle for when barry stops in.

I know I'm new here but who's Barry?

No it's not but due to the increased demand for single malt scotch by the business class in emerging markets the distilleries of Scotland are running low on supplies which is driving up the price and making rare bottlings increasingly difficult to find. It's hard to predict demand and takes many years to catch up to it.

would someone with a HWIQ like to explain to me the differences in taste of a bourbon whiskey and a rye whiskey? saw a bottle of templeton rye at the local store and might try it. tia

Can confirm,  good scotch is a staple in emerging economy as a status symbol (also, see luxury SUVs)  Demand in China for quality scotch is crazy high

the one thing I know about you is that I know more about "this" than you do.

congrats on saving up for that 750ml tho, and way to flip the bird to those Saudi princes, gulp gulp

[Asteriskhead]

I mean, the only whiskey you should drink is bourbon, anyway.

[EMAWmeister]

In a nutshell, bourbon is a sweeter whiskey, with a lower percentage of rye. Whiskey's that are 51% rye content or more (bulliet rye is like 95% I think) are considered Rye Whiskey, and have a much spicier taste that is more difficult to drink neat or on rocks.

pro tip- expensive (not going to borrow your use of the word 'good') crap is a status symbol in every economy

110 dollar scotch doesn't seem like it's all that noteworthy.   

[DQ12]

I haven't drank scotch in a while. 

Maybe we can get slammed on some scotch this weekend eh, #Clams?

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Cask strength single malt or gtfoomf

It's not about the cost, it's about the quality amirite clams?

[bones129]

Quality is the only thing that matters about Scotch.

you don't even know the quality because you won't open it because it was 110 dollars.
