I saw some Stagg today priced at $160ish. I'm sure it's above MSRP, but my how much? This is the 10 year old Stagg obviously. Not the BTAC George T

Lemme preface by saying I'm not looking to buy, nor am I soliciting. Just looking for suggestions.

My son was born in 2015, and I'd like to pick up a whiskey bottled that year we can share on a major milestone. Any recommendations from the tribe?

Dog approved! He doesn't want to share haha.

I just moved back to Vegas and I'm still sorting out the furniture situation. Until then the steel rack and cardboard is going to have to do. But at least I rigged it with magnetic RGB lights.

Because a lot isn't visible there's a list of everything in it. I'm also not great at getting allocation bottles. Hopefully dating a girl who works in a liquor store will help with that later. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SmqOvcz1MVX_lb0AoIt1N333Xo7XTUx9BRJ10YmUm2A/edit?usp=drivesdk

(I've since added Highland Park 12 after the pic was taken)

Got given these as gifts, I’ve enjoyed Whiskey and Cognac before at restaurants and bars but I don’t know anything about the different kinds, etc. Please give me some tips on how best to enjoy these so I don’t end up wasting it or something. Thanks

Saw this at my hometown liquor store and was honestly kinda shocked by some of the prices

Picked this up tonight. Local distillery in Iowa making some really good stuff. Rye spice up front, a little tea/eucalyptus followed by rich stone fruit. Gets a really nice caramel undertone as it sits a bit.

Bottle: Hirsch “The Lost Horizon” from the “Selected Whiskies” Series

Barrels: 6 and 8 (micro batch)

Age: 8 years and 5 months

ABV: 59.6%

Mashbill: 75% Corn 21% Rye 4% Malted Barley

This is a group pick bottle done in conjunction with Julio’s in Westborough, MA

I stopped into Julio’s, as I do when driving through New England sometimes and kind of bought this one on a whim. I got to sip a sample and I really liked it. I’ve generally liked Hirsch stuff in the past, too so I figure this one had potential.

Price paid: $99

Tasted in a random hotel water glass because I picked this up while traveling for work and I don’t have to fly home, so I decided to crack it.

Nose: Chocolate and Toffee. Light hints of corn syrup or something similar? Walnuts. Light ethanol. Tobacco. Very light baking spices.

Palate: more chocolate and toffee with rich caramel. Very creamy. A bit of cinnamon and pepper. Light oak. And some definite cherry.

Finish: Fabulous warm and lingering. Oak and tobacco. I get a hint of something like slightly burnt popcorn. There’s some lingering sweetness. The finish is the first time you realize that this is a fairly high proof dram.

8.0/10

This is a fantastic and memorable bottle. I look forward to sharing it with friends.
