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

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

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

Open it and sample it, lopakman, and put this issue to rest.  :drink:

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.

the world isn't going to run out of super premium scotch.     

 
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.                                                                                                                                                                                                       

good rough ridin' grief.  :flush:

Sorry you don't know anything about this.

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

Alright clams, I understand that you consider yourself a foodie or chef or whatever you like to refer yourself as, and I'm sure you make a mean Egg McMuffin but this is a thread about Whiskey/Whisky.  You don't know more than me, you don't even understand the concept of supply and demand.  Stick to talking about fast food and morel mushrooms.  I tried to be nice and ignore your comment about how every scotch drinker should try Johnnie Walker Blue "which is utterly the stupidest thing I've read since I stopped posting at GPC" because anyone with a half a decent palate knows that there's a dozen or more $50.00 bottles of scotch that are twice the caliber that JWB is.  And no need to thank me for "saving up" I'm the old guy bartender remember? (right OKCat) I don't live paycheck to paycheck. 

The sad thing is I would happily bring a bottle or two of fine scotch to share with goEMAW at a game this year but I'm a little tired of the constant insults.  It's like you can't be old (37) and have a thought of your own here.  Ironic since that's the reason I left gpc.  Maybe you should consider that gpc or kstatesports.com isn't the only one alienating fans who don't buy into the rough ridin' bullshit that Currie is selling. 

Or I could be just way off base and you could ban me.  Which I hope isn't the case.

eff it, you're right.  I'll crack it open, take a picture of me drinking it and post it....that is if I didn't piss off clams too much and get banned.

Sorry man, just a topic I'm passionate about.   :cheers:  Pretend these are glasses of scotch!

yeah why are you worried about getting banned?  who cares if #clams disagrees with you?

just fight him the next time you see him.  then maybe he'll think twice before getting in your face about whiskey.

Sorry you don't know anything about this.

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

 Qs, did not adequately flavor my post discussing the effect of capital influx in emerging economies on luxury goods with colorful language, the shame.

Good point, maybe I'm just too used to the crap over at gpc.  Plus clams wouldn't want any of this.  I'm 6 4 230 lbs of solid steel!  I met Fanning, Winters, ERII and Trim at the Spring Game, they can vouch for my size.  Kidding, not kidding clams.  :cheers:

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.

:thumbs:

:thumbs:


I tried to be nice and ignore your comment about how every scotch drinker should try Johnnie Walker Blue "which is utterly the stupidest thing I've read since I stopped posting at GPC"

why did you put your own post within quotation marks?
regardless, i think it is important for everyone who drinks scotch to try johnnie blue at some point. why? because, as evidenced in this thread, johnnie blue is very often and incorrectly thought of as the high water mark as far as scotch goes.  unless you've tried it, it would be out of place disagreeing with the sentiment. 

my first post in this thread  had no mention of blue.

in this post i made fun of it


because anyone with a half a decent palate knows that there's a dozen or more $50.00 bottles of scotch that are twice the caliber that JWB is.
while i personally think this comment is really rough ridin' stupid, there are people out there that love to drink Scoresby by the half gallon, maybe you're one of them.

then you bring it home with this beauty and come off like you're just a butthurt pussy.  grow a pair of balls if you want to post here, otherwise just shut the eff up and stick with pinterest.

You asked a question, I answered it.  That is all.  Didn't mean to get so far under your skin.  I get that I'm new here and yes I do want to post here.  Just got a little tired of feeling like I was being attacked is all.
