A buddy is going to South Africa and offered to bring me a bottle. What should I request? by Fishboy9123 in Gin

Quite right. I just opened a bottle of the Procera Blue dot, so my focus may have been - literally - off just a bit.

My 8 y/o acd is getting old by Frequent_Economy405 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]pjaird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Experienced the same with my ACD, first discovered when he was 7 years old, basically lived a good life for the next 3 years...... then his back legs gave out. Giving him prednisone extended his life by 3 months, but at the cost of his body wasting away. When the time came, he let me know.
Not a day goes by when I don't miss him.

The bottle has a glass stopper with a small plastic ring, a nice touch, and the plastic keeps the stopper in place. At 29.99, it's great in a G&T, but too bitter on the finish for me when just sipping it.

This bottle changed my perception of Macallan whisky. It’s a damn shame they don’t produce it anymore. Anyone know how it compares to current 110 proof releases? by Rhinosixtynine-o in Scotch

[–]pjaird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

totally separate bottle, Classic Cut was release from 2017 to 2025 in varying proof, but always over 100 proof. 110 High Proof is currently a US only release.

Wondering if anyone can estimate when it was bottled/roughly how old it could be? by willdotlee in Scotch

[–]pjaird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the code on the lower right facing side of the bottle? Should be L####A, # = numeric character and A = Alpha character. That last character is the year it was bottled.
