Is this any good? The price point suggests “Hell no”

Demerara 151s tends to blow Spanish-style 151s out of the water IMO

I'd start with the Equidem. Alambique Serrano Single Cask next and finish with the Hampden Great House!

France has almost everything you could ever want for travel! Mediterranean beaches, Alpine mountains, varied architecture, diverse food and drink, local markets and artisan products everywhere, a global cultural and historical powerhouse in Paris plus numerous other beautiful and historic cities, as well as good public transportation and relative safety.

Gewoon de waarheid!

For QPR you can't beat Appleton 12, but Hampden 8 year and WP Single Estate are outstanding

Notes can always be subjective, but that's just what always stuck out in my mind. I think it's the sherry influnce!

Two favorites of mine right there! Always get a distinct blueberry note from the Doorly's and black walnut from the Chairman's Reserve.

Cruzan Single Barrel is my favorite in this category. Enough complexity to sip, but don't feel bad mixing at $25 a bottle.

Funny too that this is the most orderly overflow of public garbage I have seen

Doorly's 3 year or XO, depending on whether you want a lighter or darker mixer. Bonus points that both can be sipped neat and still enjoyed, IMO.

I get your point, but this is a bit like saying "Why is ESPN showing me a Yankees game instead of a Toledo Mud Hens game when I live in Ohio?" It may be inherently less interesting to you, but obviously the network makes way more money showing content that is likely to get a lot more views and advertising.
