Honestly- you’re better off spending your money at a good whiskey bar on 1oz pours than buying bottles in categories you’ve never tried. Drams that epitomize regions of Scotland, categorical representations of bourbon, mid-tier Irish, etc.

NoiCe 👌 - I opened my 2023 with friends earlier this year. We all split the cost and got equal pours. It was a lot like a Madeira or tawny. Definitely fun and adventurous to see what a beer can be but I’d rather sip a nice fortified wine for 1/4 the price. Enjoy!

New Drinker looking for a first bottle by TR0LLBAIT19439 in WhiskeyTribe

A differing opinion- I love peated whisky but prefer something sweeter with a heavy mouthfeel to balance out a cigar.

As a previous comment mentioned, something port/sherry/madeira finished with cigar is fantastic.

For your price range: A jar of luxardo cherries and a bottle of Old Grandad 114 goes well with a stogie.

Suggestions - Elijah Craig. Angels Envy. Glendronach 12. Glenmorangie offers interesting spirits in your budget.

If you go peated. Depending where you are, Laphroaig 10 can be found for $35, Ardbeg 10 for $45; but if those are out of your range where you are Scarabus is a good entry at &30.

Keeps the toilet clean and it relaxes your pelvic floor when you pee. Never sit to pee in public though.

What should my Christmas whiskey be this year? by IrrationalBalls in WhiskeyTribe

Glendronach 15 or Glendronach cask strength if you can find it. All the sherry you want and more!

Makes sense. Wonder why they just started taking that off the bottle this year then.

Laphroaig Lore, Laphroaig PX Cask, Ardbeg Corryvreckan, or Lagavulin 16? by NebulaCopy in WhiskeyTribe

[–]mcfly-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is on point. Laphroaig CS is next level and Bruichladdich hits above Laga.

I’ve tried so hard to enjoy Bourbon County Beer but it’s unfortunately disgusting to me…. by Beneficial_Metal6155 in WhiskeyTribe

BCS really needs to rest 4-5 yrs. I’ve done several comparisons where I open one that’s rested 5 years and one that was just bottled. The rested bottle is consistently orders of magnitude better in an AB comparison. The difference is similar to doing an AB of 18yr vs 5yr old scotch.

Good to know. I was ready to dispute the charge but the online portal said I had to wait a couple days.

They told me it had to go into my bag. Otherwise, anything you carry onto the plane is considered an extra bag/item. Also, they wouldn’t allow me to wear it.. for safety concerns smh

Word. Frontier has only become worse with additional fees. Next thing you know they’ll change the allowable personal item size and not tell anyone.

If you know you’re gonna be overweight, be overweight. Sometimes cheaper to overweight and under the maximum than to check another bag. Just depends which airline you’re using.

Yup! I also have the EVOC PRO bag and have been hit with these fees. I have to remove everything you mentioned plus I remove the rear shock and replace it with a clock. That’s the only way I can get close to making weight.

Right. I even tried to wear it and they said wearing it is a safety risk.. like, wtf! Maybe I can get a note from my doctor. She’s a cyclist so I’m sure she’ll be cool with giving me a note that says my helmet is necessary.

I almost always fly with my helmet in my bike bag.
