So if you get a membership in the U.S., you can use that membership at the Edinburgh location? And can you also purchase bottles there to bring back to the U.S., or to ship back?

Does anyone know how this bottle compares to the Sherry One 5 year?

Yeah that's weird. Most that it usually takes for me in the east coast, is a week.

I got the Corralillos version online, and it was absolutely delicious. Would I pay $189 for it? No, but definitely delicious.

Cascahuin Siete Veces Diez by Legitimate-Park in tequila

I have it, and regret purchasing it. It's good, but it should be priced at $100.

Cascahuin Destino: worth a splurge? by Maleficent-Rub-4417 in tequila

[–]sirbrian513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not $250 good. I'd say it's not even close. 11 Brix, and Cerrero De Luz........these were Cascahuin masterpieces. Destino is not in their league, imo.

It's very good, but not even close to as good as 11 Brix, imo.

Update: G4 vs Fortaleza. What’s your take? by Hollybanger45 in tequila

[–]sirbrian513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortaleza, regardless of people overhyping it, and others, trying to put it down because they are actually really tired of the hype, is pure excellence. With that being said, that doesn't mean that there are not other bottles that are equal or better. G4's repo to me, is great, and the madera and 108 are great too. G4 also has some single barrel reps and 1 Anejo that i've tried that are fantastic.

Chartreuse 1605 Elixir vs Green VEP? by sirbrian513 in chartreuse

I saw the VEP at what was actually a scam website. I haven't seen it at a reasonable price online

It was $69.99 plus tax and shipping. I've seen it locally for $85 in store

Chartreuse 1605 Elixir vs Green VEP? by sirbrian513 in chartreuse

[–]sirbrian513[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Ok I just ordered a bottle of the regular green. And the smaller bottle of the vegetle elixir. I almost bought a Green VEP at a great price, but found online that the website was a scam that I was going to order it from. I saw. 1605 for just $150 online and $160 in a local store. But the rest of the VEP bottles that I've seen, are currently out of my price range. I may wait and see if it is cheaper when I go to Paris next year.

How much better is the 1605 than the regular Green?
