It was pretty good and hotter than I expected for 93 proof (in a good way). I was not in the environment or mind set to really judge it so I was curious if our resident experts had tried it. And Mikey is a Sherry cask hound so I thought he might have tried it or been interested.

haven’t tried here either. i really want to try the latest Wild Turkey LE, Revival. pretty hefty sherry influence on that one.

I’ve got nothing, but I wanted to applaud the use of the colloquialism.  Well played, sir.

just saw this. have not had or seen Al.
interesting..

Not possible, you have tried everything.

Just got word that they are out of stock after all, and refunded my order placed shortly after yours, I imagine. 

 I actually did not order from them as they, like all the others that showed it in stock, will not ship to Florida. I actually found mine locally at a little out of the way shop that I found while waiting for Peter to finish his airsoft skirmish. You might want to still check around since most of the ones that showed some stock were located in California, if I recall correctly.

Got lucky today at a small local shop ?

my fax is on, beep boop bop, pls send it over.

Barrell Whisky Batch #5

What an interesting Whisky!  Barrell's each batch is completely different blending effort, and Batch 5 mixes 4 different whiskies, each finished in Bourbon, Brandy, Cognac, and Amaro barrels.  Sounds like recipe for disaster, but the result is one-of-a-kind palate with lots of raisins, sweet grapes, and some other unidentifiable spices, all without oakiness, bitterness, or other oddities, presented at healthy 118 proof cask strength.

Have decided to sub whisky in for wine occasionally for both variety and carb-reduction purposes.

Thought I'd start at Cluster A and work my way through. What's the most characteristic Macallan please?

Macallan 6.

ha

i would say for drinking, the Mac 12 in a 1.75L

and the Mac 18 for special occasions {like Thursday}

Lucky to have found a localish shop that carries this at decent price!

Between Al and I we have some pretty good stuff. Perhaps a blind tasting is in order at some point?

Maybe we each bring three bottles to taste or something like that.
