bkmk silly whisky drinker
I’d drink it too. I’d hate to have the last image in my mind as my truck hurdles off the cliff being my brother in law mixing it with Doctor Pepper at my wake.
I have a rare bottle of Pappy Van Winkle that increased in value faster than I would have thought possible.
Was going to finally crack it open to celebrate Trumps 2020 win…
Still I original packaging. Highest rated whiskey ever.
No ragrets.
Whiskey can only get so smooth.
And if I hadn't played with my first generation Hot Wheels cars and kept my original G.I. Joe action figures (no, they're NOT dolls!) including a Jeep with a recoilless rifle in the bed and matching trailer with a searchlight in the packages when I was 7 years old, they'd be worth tens of thousands of dollars as well.
(O.K., maybe a couple of hundred Dollars anyway...)
I once got to try a 1915 Macallan Scotch and it was okay. The Balcones Pot Still Bourbon is much smoother and much more flavorful.
I can’t imagine that even a great whisky/whiskey would be worth $100,000. I’m content with a good one for $100 or so.
I found an unopened pack of Luckys non filter in my Great Grandpas fishing tackle box about 25 years ago. They must have been 40 years old. The box smelled sooo good that I had to try one. Best smoke I have ever had. It was like a fine fine Scotch whiskey. Took me two years to smoke them but Dam! Glad I didn’t throw them away.
I did some expensive drinking in the late ‘60’s when I was in the military...Some buddies and I drank Mother Goldstein’s Jewish Passover Wine...It was $3.99 a quart....
Regret is when you wake up and recall that at about 3 in the morning after the 4 of you had finished off all the beer and wine and vodka and that half bottle of Southern Comfort in the house, you were still conscious and remembered that LeNell’s Red Hook Rye you had stashed away in the gun safe.
So, does it taste kinda like spotted owl or not?
It all tastes like rockgut to me.
So how was it?
I wonder if even a real Whiskey expert could tell the difference - in a blind tasting - between a $100,00-bottle of whiskey and a $10,000-bottle of whiskey.
