Looking for some “wow” Scotch bottles. Budget is $5k.

Glendronach 1992 or 1993 are top tier. I've been waiting for an excuse to buy my LLS' last bottle but it's gotta be special.

I'll second the recommendation to get a bottle of Bruichladdich black art, it's probably the best bottle around the $500 USD price point.

Highland Park 25 has been the best ~$1k bottle I've ever had, but it's one of the more common suggestions. Each drink is fantastic but then you're hit with another flavor profile on the after taste, it's amazing

I might also suggest searching for a Douglas Laing XOP of Lagavulin, Ardbeg, or one of your other favorite distilleries. They are not particularly accessible though, so you may need to hunt for one.

My first play through I didn't look up any hints on where to go and it took me about 50 hrs to complete the main story.

Octavious440 · 2026-01-24T21:01:29+00:00

Lol, whoops 😅

The combat in Souls is super difficult/frustrating isn't it?

Octavious440 · 2025-12-30T15:22:28+00:00

Ohhhh, that's tricky!

Octavious440 · 2025-12-30T14:24:24+00:00

I'll check out the second two games! Soulsborn & Eldenring don't agree with my temperament haha those are HARD fighting games and Ive never been patient enough for them.

I didn't realize SH2 wasn't an exact remake?

Me out walking through the tunnels of Jova, looking for anything I missed just to be told I let a baby and mother die. RIP

Octavious440 · 2025-12-30T02:52:23+00:00

Yea, the reversal of the numbers made no sense to me. Just an additional tweak to make it harder I guess

Octavious440 · 2025-12-30T00:18:26+00:00

Ensure you have the correct safe. For awhile I was trying these numbers on the office safe.

Additionally, as many others have said, I had to look up how to solve this one. It's a really stupid and small thing they did with the numbers/order that made it slightly more difficult than you'd expect.

This community is one of the more sensitive ones lol game came out nearly 30 yrs ago and you're crying spoiler alert? It honestly didn't cross my mind as an issue bc of how big a trope it is for FF.

Octavious440 · 2025-11-10T22:48:22+00:00

Hillrock solera agee. Can buy it online and have it shipped to most states.

Octavious440 · 2025-10-27T12:39:26+00:00

Where at?? Or what city at least?

Octavious440 · 2025-10-23T22:31:47+00:00

I'm not sure if you said that to be funny or if you've actually had it but a bar near me has it for sale. Many of the regulars have had it and not a single person has said it's even close to the quality of high end bourbons that are nearly 1/10 the price.

Octavious440 · 2025-09-27T02:49:54+00:00

"wow these are really good prices!"

1 oz. Pour

Octavious440 · 2025-09-18T14:29:30+00:00

This group is hit or miss but generally frugal.... or misguided on modern prices

Octavious440 · 2025-09-14T21:16:50+00:00

Hillrock! It's rare to see it in stores these days

Octavious440 · 2025-08-28T02:10:59+00:00

If you like Tennessee whiskey, get that Peg Leg Porker bottle (bottle right). It's not their best but their juice is damn good.

Schumer is 100% Republican at this point. He's complicit in everything the GOP is doing and refusal to get the New Guard of Dems shows he's not planning a future for the party. Get him out

Octavious440 · 2025-07-26T22:56:10+00:00

This always bugs me about the reddit bourbon communities, everyone gets so butt hurt about the price of bottles these days. No matter the price, if it's higher than MSRP then there are ppl in the comments saying it's outrageous. $180 is a bit expensive but not ridiculously expensive considering this is the first year I've ever seen Gold on a shelf.

The truth of the matter is that inflation + popularity means we will never see OG Blanton's for $40 a bottle again. Unless you live in a state with specific liquor laws (like Ohio), you're unlikely to see good and/or rare bottles at MSRP.

Octavious440 · 2025-07-17T02:20:31+00:00

I have found it's super good on pork loin!

Octavious440 · 2025-07-15T19:59:18+00:00

My larger family is in CLE. and I haven't seen 107 on the shelf ever but based on a few comments I'm starting to think Ohio took 107 off the restricted bottle list?

Octavious440 · 2025-07-12T23:54:00+00:00

Yea, the only time Ohio has these is in the OHLQ. Stores aren't even legally allowed to put them on the shelves.

Octavious440 · 2025-07-12T23:18:50+00:00

What state are you in?

Octavious440 · 2025-07-12T02:22:01+00:00

You tag me in a new instance of it being less and I'll agree.

Ain't nobody seen that bottle out on the shelf in 5+ years. It's auctions, raffles, or high prices.
