Gregmal Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Royal Salute 21. Easily exceeded relatively high expectations. I consider paying $12 for a four-pack of Founders Breakfast Stout a splurge! With my taste buds, I think I would not appreciate the Royal Salute 21. Have you ever tried Pappy Van Winkle? Haha no I have not and a quick google was kind of awe inspiring. My typical hard stuff is in the $30-50 a bottle range. Once in a while the $200-300/bottle but above that is where I get to the point where I rather buy a case of good $50 a bottle type stuff than just one bottle of legendary booze. I saw a 72 year McCallans at the liquor store for $140k and first thought was "what happens if the guy stocking the shelves drops it?". I do like the Founders as well. A few of the DuClaw varieties I liked when I tried them a couple years ago as well. The oatmeal/peanut butter/ chocolate/espresso ones I find are great when they are done right.

I really don’t drink whiskeys much, but prefer the smoother Irish whiskeys over the scotch’s generally. I am currently having a bit Calvados, which is my favorite goto drink for something a bit stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooDiligence Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Havana Club añejo 7 year (this bottle is actually 13 years old now). When I run out, I may have to visit the duty free at Galeão again. The only thing I like as well as Havana Club is Flor de Caña. The darks are great with a splash of Coke & a lime. The lights make great raspberry Mojitos. Summer is coming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarganaga Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 For tonight, our next to the last bottle of 2000 Chateau Branaire (Duluc-Ducru) - St Julian. Probably open a newer Bordeaux later or just sip on some Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. Happy New Year All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I run a wine club shipping Gran Reserves from Argentina ($25 to $50 bottles). Probably takes too long for your party ... and not sure if I can post a link here. If anyone is interested please drop me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought this one for $10 at the NH liquor store a week or so ago. It is really hard to go wrong with Cabernet , Merlot or Zinfandel from Sonoma county. $10-$20/ bottle gets you good quality. Napa county is great too, but usually more expensive. Some vineyards from Mendocino county are Ok as well. For whites, I prefer Finger Lake Riesling or other white grapes or perhaps an unoaked Chardonnay from CA ( same location than above) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tede02 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 One of my clients got me into Jameson whiskey. I can see why he likes it. Goes good with lemonade and hot weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
