Scotch anyone?

A tasting is the best way to see what you like and what you don’t. Can be a large event at a hall or just at a friends who has a decent selection. A few sips is all that’s needed to know if you like it or not, you don’t have a big pour of it. Only takes a few selections to narrow down what you like. I’ve done many large tasting events but started not being able to tell the difference between a good/bad/cheap scotch.
I found tastings to be a really fun events, one of the really enjoyable parts ( and also really frustrating) , the group I was invited to attend are pretty well connected to importers and distributors and have the ability to get their hands on product that doesn't easily exit in the market. You may find something you really like , only to find out you may need to know someone at the distillery in Scotland to ever see another dram.
Thankfully there are about a 1000 others to make do with in the meantime.

I enjoy the odd two finger, even with all those lessons I can only tell a cheap scotch from an expensive one by looking at the price tag.
One wasn't cheap enough, or the other wasn't expensive enough.
I try to keep my mixing whiskey < $30 so Wiser's is my choice. Things above that go down straight.
Yeah usually one is just rougher than the other. It's basically no pleasant to drink straight and tells you "lets get ****** up mate!"
The more expensive one usually will have a smoother taste, even if youre not into the flavour profiles and all that stuff... its just a kinder experience on the taste buds and your throat

I have the tastebuds of a drunken sailor. All swishes tastes goods to me. Guess I’m just lucky.
We need STB back to buy this and tell us if it was worth it. LCBO has one bottle for $85,000. It looks like Bowmore 64 in an normal bottle is less than half the money. Not sure if the nectar inside is different or it is just the worlds most expensive packaging.

If you press a secret button does the stopper fly off?
For 85K, I want a Bond girl to show up at my house and pour it for me when I want a drink.
I think I’d ask for a bit more than that for 85k.....but maybe I’m an ass.
I wonder if Barry Shenne ever thought that? Nah.

Last time the LCBO had Cask 64 in stock (1 bottle at Queen's Quay and one at Rosehill) it was $18,000 and change. IIRC, one of them was stolen. QQ, I believe.
