Okay one more pour --> Macallan 20yo 40% Kirkland

don't feel like too many samples tonight - so I guess I will drink.. (big glass is out) --> Macallan 1990/19yo 43% The Whisky Trail Bottling

oh there is that... they are pricey to get anything of age (after I bought a 1963 - most things don't seem that high anymore). If you have access you could grab an LBV - they can be very nice. With the extra wood age (4 years instead of 2 years) they appeal to my whisky side. Or try a half bottle of vintage to see if it is to your liking. You could also try some of the lesser known names such as Croft that are nice (http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1050908), but will not hold up to the likes of a Taylor's.

drank wine and beer last night - didn't work out as well as I would have liked... maybe tomorrow night... am enjoying the show...
